"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Somebody made a Stringer Bell Mamdani meme...for a second, I had a prince-with-a-tiny-slipper moment. But nothing's really like that, is it?

Thrive to spite them

Erika for some reason when I read Stringer Bell it was Omar that popped into my head and the. "Mamdani's coming".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The Cosmic Crisp I had with dinner was nasty. Probably just that particular apple rather than the whole variety, but ew. DNF

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It is definitely Autumn here -- the dark-eyed juncos have made their first appearance at my feeder.

Hooray juncos! They are year-roumd here, but I always like to see them

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

Attending a mtg for a task that not only is not my job to do, I do not even have access in the application where it is done.

Boss is clinging on to some relic of a process that used to involve us for some unknown reason.

I just logged out while it was still going on.

Completely ridiculous.

Wow, msbelle, that is impressive in its way

I just found out that my boss will be on vacation the last two weeks of the year. Technically, I will not be alone in the department because the remote contractor will be with us through the end of January, but for all practical purposes no one will know what I should be doing...

Our wings are not tired

Sorry hear that you are caught in job stupidity msbelle.

I have been dealiing that with a bunch of different projects this year and I'm just so worn out by it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My work nemesis keeps passive-aggressively cc'ing my boss in his snippy little emails to me. Little does he know he is also her work nemesis and she is on my side! Mwahaha!

I've often debated in my mind which is worse: the stress of running your own business or putting up with the bullshit and bureaucracy of working for someone else. I've not concluded, but at this point in my life, I won't be working for anyone else.
