I’m thinking about taking up drinking. The following is probably not something I should say on a blog that could potentially be seen by my employer, but I don’t think I care at this exact moment (perhaps I’m experiencing a lapse in judgment right now): Drinking would make my current project much more enjoyable. Wait, no. …keep reading There was another article today in the Strib, this time about Minnesota’s pension plans for state employees. Reading through the comments (42 of them, when I read the article), it became clear, yet again, that state employees are unloved and unappreciated. For the record, many of us (not all of us, just like every workplace) …keep reading It seems that all noise is bothering me today. I succumbed to putting on my headphones to play some music today (though that’s generally not acceptable practice since I often have to answer phones), and even my beloved Botticelli-Groban mix was aggravating me (and you know that Andre Botticelli can’t really be annoying, so it’s …keep reading No, this isn’t the number for free money from Western Union. Didn’t have the heart/time/energy to tell him that there’s really no such thing (as free money, that is), and that it’s probably a scam of some sort. There was too strong a language barrier, and he wasn’t actually listening to me anyways (I had to …keep reading When I get home tonight, I’m pouring myself a small glass of Bailley’s. You know why? Because today has been rough. I never do that, but today I’m going to. So there. How does stay friendly and helpful all the time? I don’t know how she does it. People …keep reading While I am actually quite happy with how last night turned out (rescued by and battery in car replaced, successful shopping at bookstore and for winter coat, yummy dinner food), there’s one thing I really wish had happened: my visit to the chiropractor. Now, they were super nice when I called to cancel …keep reading They’re calling me Dubya’s speech writer today at work, because of the following I crafted for a retiring co-worker out of Bushisms: To [insert co-worker's name], This is historic times, your retirement. Retirement—that means to be tired again. I’m going to try to see if I can remember as much to make it sound like I’m smart …keep reading So I’m in the middle of a heinous (hehe) project involving cleaning up html code for our entire external website (OK, my section of our entire external website – to be fair, it’s somewhere in the vicinity of 500 very poorly organized pages), and I get this in my fortune cookie: “You work best when meticulous …keep reading My office smells like Taco Bell. And not in a good way. (Is there ever a good way for something to smell like Taco Bell? I mean, I love the Bell, and have eaten it quite a few times lately, but that doesn’t mean I want my world to smell like it.) For those of you who remember, I’ve talked briefly about a former colleague of mine who has a very rare (and progressive) form of cancer. I just got an update that they’ve found more tumors (this isn’t new… many times they’ve found new tumors in different parts of her body, which is to be …keep reading My computer should be here soon. The guy is installing software on it as we speak, so I think sometime tomorrow morning or afternoon, I’ll be back in business. Finally! I’m currently debating whether or not I’m going to stay home from work tomorrow. Technically, I’m feeling much better, and if I went back tomorrow, all would be fine. I’m probably somewhere around 75%. But if I get to sleep in one more day… I think I could get that up to …keep reading I got my letter from HR today that my raise in question is effective as of last Wednesday, so it should show up on my next paycheck. Yay! Today at work, as part of our month-long charity giving campaign, there was a plant sale. I bought three. I didn’t plan on it, but …keep reading Really, this one is “how many St Paul police vehicles does it take to get one car towed from downtown?” The answer, surprisingly enough, is that it takes 5 police vehicles (three regular, one “parking enforcement,” and one unmarked) and a tow truck. That’s what I saw when I was out for coffee. What have you seen …keep reading awesome!!! I think I figured out the afore-mentioned Access quandary. Sometimes, I rock. |
