I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The timesheet saga continues - I decided the only way out is through and I might as well take control. I am ignoring the "working document" nonsense. It will come back up if I FUBAR in some way.

I sent this to co-worker her asst just now and I let Big Boss know that I was sending it to said co-worker.

As discussed, attached is my draft of (BB)'s timesheet for 7/1/2020 – 9/11/2020. Please make adjustments and send to (BB) for her approval and signature, then I will send to (originator) before the Friday deadline.

The work descriptions from 7/1/2020 – 9/4/2020 were what (BB) provided on the composite time-sheets I have already submitted to (Dept) on behalf of (our dept). I do not have that information for the days after 9/4/2020, but included some of the ongoing COVID work that (BB) does every week.

Please feel free to reach out to me if anything is not clear. I have let (BB) know that this is the process we will be following for the time being.

Thank you,

Do you SEE how I am trying to model good behavior with the "reach out to me if this is not clear" and how I am CYA with the "as we discussed" and "I have let her know" and the "what she previously provided".

msbelle, you get a gold star ... and my permission to drink yourself into a less aggravated state of mind

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well done, msbelle.

I had tech for a show yesterday! It's been a while since I've done outdoor theatre or had the entire lighting rig for a show in my car. We're performing in 9 city parks but our two days of tech/dress are in the back lot of the scene shop. When we did a full run in the evening folks from the factory next door were watching from their loading door and a Metra train went by reeealy slowly because the driver was listening.

Wearing a mask and a cap all day left me with the strangest little spots of sunburn on my cheekbones right next to my hairline. Oops. Gotta remember the sunscreen today.

Toddson - I'm actually not aggravated at the moment - I am sitting on my seat of superiority.

well, I guess the booze is superfluous ... but you still get the gold star ... maybe a second for not resorting to swearing or violence

Is it a pink seat?

Wheeee! My office is having a virtual happy hour after work, and Big Boss sent everyone gift visas for food & wine so it's more a virtual dinner with drinks after!

I wasn't consciously avoiding eating beef this past weekend to save up my red meat allotment for a steak from a swanky restaurant, but it worked out that way nonetheless.

Herding cats for fun

The sky is blue today! I'm so happy to see something that's not yellow or gray!

Yay for Kay-Bee's sky! We're sunny here in Texas, and frankly we could use more rain than a shower that just ups the humidity.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think I mentioned on Fbook that Greater Somerville is getting orangey sun and gray sky. The smoke is actually 5 miles up, so the AQI is OK, but it still impresses that there's so much of it that the other side of the damn continent is getting affected.
