I should hold my breath now, right?
I will gently suggest no.
WTF, meara. Dag, boys!! Don't just wreck the house because you're scared to get in trouble! You will still get in trouble.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It has been pointed out to me that mac saying he has the job at Amazon is not actually proof that he has the job, so I have asked for the email. I love being the asshole.
ION - it took searching 6 sites to find a rental car for tomorrow, everyone showed sold out. WTF.

I would not have guessed that was even possible, meara! Wow. Hope you don't melt at the wedding and brunch

Oh, we got the map of where we'll be sitting when we get back into the office, and facilities is scheduled to move us before the official Back in Office Day although we need to move our own personal stuff and I think that means I should go in and do it next week but I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, I'll be nearest the kitchen, which is also close to a printer. I had heard we were supposed to get a sort of shared, ad hoc office that we could use for conference calls and what not but that's not marked on the map (we used to have one but that is now someone's actual office) so maybe not. I think the major difference for me is going to be me more traffic passing behind me while I'm working which seems terrible right now thinking about it (after working in my living room with absolutely no one around for the past year+ and being in a low traffic area before that) but I'm sure I'll get used to it. And I have noise cancelling headphones. I am mildly irritated that someone on my team with the same title as me gets a bigger cube, but only on principle.

BTW, I feel y'all appreciate how wrong it is that when we asked about how we will be expected to back each other up when any of us our on vacation or sick or whatever the answer was that they haven't figured that out yet. Two people are leaving and there are no plans to hire replacements and management is not worried about coverage with PTO? Argh. To be fair, my boss definitely wants to hire at least a replacement for mt teammate who is leaving, but she has to make a case for it and I guess that means waiting to see how the new system works with 4 of us instead of 5, which even if we are overwhelmed we'll get the work done because that is what we have been doing, getting the work done while overwhelmed, and they'll all say we don't need another person. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they will surprise me and be reasonable.

Yeesh, -t. That's a lot of change all at once.
Msbelle, that thought had crossed my mind, so, yeah, pony up the email before I buy you a car, kid, seems WAY reasonable to me.
What the hell with the air conditioner... and flooding... and not doing anything?! I do not understand.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sorry about the mac drama, msbelle.

Yes, a lot of this. Yikes.
I hope things so easier than anticipated, msbelle.

OK, I do need to go in next week but it sounds like I can just pop in late in the day and move my stuff rather than working in the office all day. That'll have to be a game time decision - it also might be nice to be on hand to have input as to where my monitor and phone and so forth actually get set up...
