Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My software has gone offline. My software program that houses all the drawings and all the MAPs, Travelers, etc. That 80% of the company uses for a large portion of their jobs. Hopefully just restarting the server will fix it. Of course, even if I were on site today, I am not worthy to have access to the server room. Our IT guy was let go back in March. We have IT onsite one day a week - Thursdays. Who could have guessed that this might be a problem? WHO?
Texted & emailed our Thursday guy, who's not answering his phone. Submitted a ticket, currently on hold with IT central. And, because I'm also not worthy of being salaried, I have to clock out in...6 minutes while still keeping the site updated with developments. Easy peasy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, that sure sounds fun, Epic.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Congrats, Gud!
Woo hoo, Shir!
Side-job~ma, Vortex.
My company opted out as well. Their words: "accounting nightmare."
I have to design an RFP this week and I don't wanna.

I'm not sure if RFPs or the actual proposal is the worst; they're both awful.
I am not much for campaign merchandise, but I do kinda like this t-shirt: [link]

I saw a sign yesterday that said 'Share Facts Not Germs', which I thought was nifty. There are a number of Believe Science signs around.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just had a call where we discussed the best way to ensure everyone in the department could take time off to vote, and I realized I should probably take the day AFTER election day off too, just in case. I didn't in 2016, and it was one of the worst days in the office I've ever had.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Politics in Maine must be wackadoo, just thinking about their former governor Paul LePage.
Oh dear, Epic, that does not sound good. And after wooden sticks for lunch! (I did actually google Pick Up Stix, so I know what it actually is, but my first thought was the game...)

I was just thinking that, too!

Since the election may well not be decided on Election Day the next day will be that much worse. I get needing mail in voting, but the idea of having to wait days before states call it is going to be more than nerve wracking.
