Scene - online work meeting, working with another department to complete a spreadsheet with info they need from our department.
Me- going to documents to find the info and copy/pasting it in shared/collab document they have onscreen in the meeting.
My boss - “oh I’ve opened the next one we need.” Starts reading out the info.
Me- “do you have the shared document open? I’m cutting and pasting, I’m not typing from dictation.” Knowing full well she is confused by sharepoint and teams.
Boss- oh no, I don’t.
Me- proceeds to copy/paste the next four things needed, trying not to roll eyes.
My boss is sick and I wish she’d just bow out of these meetings. I’m tired and my frustrations are too close to the surface.
In ugh holiday news, Brendon is going to LA for a basketball tournament, on December 26th. This wouldn't be a big deal, and I would have joined him, but my son and his GF arrive in Florida on December 25th. So I will be doing all the holiday stuff with the kids without dad. He will still be in LA for his birthday on the 28th. Sigh. I'm like, okay with it, but would probably have changed the kids' visit schedule if I had known earlier.
How can one person be so extravagant and boring at the same time?
Me to the family member who just put an $80 navy blue doormat on their elfster wishlist. The hell you say.
Trying to imagine what could make a doormat be worth $80 and not coming up with anything. Secretly a trap door? Seems like that would be pricier.
I need cataract surgery on the right eye
Anecdotally my mom had hers done and it was easy peasy with quick results. She was very pleased back in 2017. If I need it, I'm going to get past the scared and see better. I did think I was seeing floaters once but it was just a spider on its web that was MUCH closer than I thought.
Same with my dad. (The surgery, not the spiders. So far as I know, anyway.)
I've had cataract surgery for both eyes and it was the easiest surgery I've ever had. Being awake during surgery was a little weird but that was the only issue.
I’ve bought an $80 doormat. Those nice water hog ones from ll bean in the big sizes, like 4x6? Essential if you get snow. (But I am known to be boring.)
I bought my son this doormat for $14, and he loves it: [link] However, this is inside an apartment building, where they have the serious snow and yuck-capturing ones at the main entrance.
It was pretty cool that I could get the consult for the cataract surgery next week. The sooner the better.
