I'm back to the nibbled to death by ducks stage. Our office final final move was scheduled for last Friday, but streets were blocked off for the right to life march/gathering. In light of that, I'd scheduled today off but the move was rescheduled for today, so I took yesterday off. Came in this morning wearing clothes suitable for moving only to discover that it's been rescheduled ... indefinitely. And my full-size monitor isn't getting a signal from the computer so I'm hunched over trying to read the tiny laptop screen. Tried incr5easing the size but half my icons disappeared.
There's snow predicted - nothing like what was predicted for the Northeast - but the town's freaked out, as usual. I think the snowplow's still available, but they've done the pre-treatment (which seems to be beet juice and salt ... don't ask, I have no idea, but the street's not even pink).\
I may give up, go home and go back to bed.
So yesterday they were saying < 3″ of snow, but this morning they’re saying 8–11″, and probably even more in New England.
They've been saying 1-2" here, but WXRisk (a weather guy whose stuff I like) thinks we'll be in the dry slot, so we probably will get a dusting at best. I shouldn't be sad—we've already gotten more snow than usual around here this month. And there's a solid shot at snow in a week, too.
Calli, it occurred to me that if your soup isn't as good as you hoped, adding some shredded cheese on top and letting it melt might help. It's good on soup regardless of the quality (for bean soup, I prefer Monterey Jack cheese, but it's up to you).
In more me me me news, since the tech support people were here to see if they can get things fixed up for The Move, one of them took a look at my monitor and got it working. yay! now I can sit upright and actually see what's on the display.
Dang, Toddson, that move seems to have been going on forever and now it's officially indefinite? Jeesh.
Money is so stupid.
Cosigned.
Decent size monitors make a world of difference.
yup ... the tech support guy commented it looked old ... and I pointed out that I'm old and I still work
It is apparently National Fun At Work Day which means some sort of Zoom social where we are encouraged to have a fun background. My first inclination is to just not attend because it's more Zoom but I don't actually have much work to do this morning so maybe I will spend some time looking for backgrounds. Any suggestions?
Hahah also they can give you a new one if they think it’s too old…
I am going to hit 10 years at my job in March (!!) and just got the “pick a present from the catalog” email. It’s SO WEIRD. Anything from a company pin, to various watches and jewelry, to a globe…to a pressure washer or AirPods. Wtf. I am not sure what to get—I definitely don’t want any of the jewelry, but the cookware isn’t quite what I’d want. Maybe the speaker? I would never use it, but…ugh. For my five year I think I chose a wallet and promptly never ever used it (it was a $100 wallet but somehow really crappy quality)
