Yay for no court.
Actual time clocking is just... such a pain. Ugh, when I was in retail, I mean, I guess it more or less made sense for that, actually, but people (including me) were constantly forgetting to clock in (on the computer) before they started, only realizing it when they couldn't use the register. I'm starting to give myself agita just writing about those days!
I was always making adjustments to people's hours for minute increments. I guess I could've been more of a hardass, but... I am not, and retail is hard enough without an asshole manager.
Intense work week M-Th this week, so today is a pleasant shift. I'm sending out holiday card emails (slowly - don't panic if you don't get yours until tonight!), making food, about to get blood drawn (routine), hoping to get the tree up.
Also, it is cold.
I feel like I have checked enough things off my list that I should be done for the week, but I guess not? (My direct report is on parental leave so I have many items on my list that would have been on his!)
Does anyone here follow Carolyn Hax? She just gave me an anonymous high-five in her chat, because I submitted a comment that said "FUUUUUUUCK THATTTTTT." Hee.
Brushes with celebrity all over the place!
So, I bought a wine advent calendar from Costco, not really intending to use it as an advent calendar, just thinking it was a mixed case of assorted wines and I like variety (it is actually 24 half bottles of assorted wines, which is even better from my POV) but here it is Dec 2 and I haven't broken into any of them and while 24 half-bottles in 23 days seems like more wine than I probably want to drink I might go ahead and see how many days into it I get before deciding that...the first wine is a Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon, which is pretty intriguing. Not, obviously, opening anything until after work.

High-five!! For the celebrity citing as well, but I probably am more excited about Carolyn Hax.
AND I have done SO MANY TASKS today, sheesh.
I have done SOME tasks today, but I cannot make myself watch this recorded webinar. It's basically a video of a powerpoint presentation and I just cannot focus on it.
Yes! Yay Caroline Hax.
Thanks for the support. I honestly think I would mind A LOT less if it wasn’t for having to ride the clock. My boss doesn’t have the authority to fix my time- you have to email Payroll and cc your boss every time you forget to punch. She probably wouldn’t care if I was over or under by a little, but payroll will. I am terrible with time and watching it this closely is going to stress me out!
I told my work friend today (who will be remaining salaried- she is over the threshold) and she thinks it will be good for me (we are both workaholics devoted to our jobs). With the sheer number of meetings I have, I am just not sure HOW I will get work done without doing my 2 hours of work while riding the bus. In theory I could punch in via my phone, but I don’t think counting commuting time as work time will go over well.
