Congrats, Gud!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Maria, one thing I can say in regard to RFPs is to read the instructions or what they want - I know that one thing that immediately gets your proposal thrown out is if you don't get the details. (I've been working for associations for the design and construction industry for ... wow! 40+ years ... and that's the first thing they look at.)
Timelies all!
Stupid recurring calf cramp.(and the resulting muscle knot that takes a long time to loosen up)
OMG, I had to actual customer service, calling a consumer to help him with a problem, and he was actually super nice but that was still exhausting! I'm glad I don't do that full time.
I am happy to be a go-for-walk buddy (or you know someone even more reliable on that front than me).
If only the two of you were closer.... because I'd totally be up for that.
Can I just say, I hate WFH for this reason: I have to put all this effort into going for walks and doing yoga and whatever, and I'm still walking SO MUCH LESS than I did when I was working in the office, even after I stopped going to most meetings on campus. It's very annoying.
This, but for the last 7 years. It's so hard to motivate to get out of the house. Especially when it's hot and humid, and especially in a pandemic.
Congratulations, Gud!

Yep, I'm a stickler for the details when I'm responding to an RFP and won a few deals because I paid attention when others didn't. Now, I'm on the other side of the table for the first time in 20 years. I'm writing an RFP for a client who needs to select a fleet management company, which is part of the suite of services offered by our consulting firm. It's become my job since I worked for a fleet management company (talk about a double-edged sword). I'm the in-house expert.
I read that as RPF every time.
Why why why do I still have to do an annual review? It's not like anyone is getting a raise. At least my employer notified us that they are opting out of the payroll tax deferral.

RIGHT?! I am still mad about having to do mine in April
Ours were way simplified and I did the least amount possible, because SERIOUSLY.

I double check it every time I use it in a work email or document. Most likely, no one would know what it meant, but I don't want to find out!
I don't know if we even do reviews at my new company. Some things are a little loosey-goosey.
My car is now sporting a fluffy layer of ash. It's like it snowed. I haven't seen such a thing since the Oakland hills fire way back when. That one was very sad for me; I was in San Francisco and big legible flakes of fine paper from someone's library were coming down all around me.
Unfortunately for me, my apartment was in Oakland, my two cats were alone, and we had just finished removing the radiator from my car and I was stuck since DH was driving a motorcycle. A friend got her boyfriend to drive her from Hayward and picked them up for me. I'll always be grateful. There was a lot of black ash coming in the windows.
