Yesterday was almost a waste. Had a long, somewhat painful day at work. (New system, backlog of orders discovered yet again, ~and~ they're giving my backup to CS for a week so I get to try to do her job as well as my own? Really? I mean... really? Ah, well, I know they need the help. Still. Had a long day getting ready for it and anticipate five ( Read more... )

That's what this has been. It was a great day. I had fun at work - sitting next to the sales team and listening to their conversations - even occasionally being part of them - has become a real joy in my day. I've one coworker who has one of those voices that seems to be lacking a VOLUME CONTROL,and everybody in the building recognizes his voice ( Read more... )

...today was an awesome day. I earned a virtual hug from our Austin office today because of my efforts to consolidate and tie together some of our duplicate accounts, and I get more excited about the data consolidation I'm doing pretty much every day I move forward with it. I really hope I continue to do well at this and earn my keep. *dances ( Read more... )

Wow, I just settled in to make my yearly summary/reminiscence post and started thinking over the events of this year. Hell, the events of last year. I never made my 2008 retrospective post, so I guess I'll gloss over most of that and just jump into 2009.

Hung out with Guardian tonight, had gyros at... er, I don't actually know where. Watched him make some yummy coffee muffins (and I say this despite despising muffinsCOFFEE!) and some presumably yummy bread, went out for gyros and then watched an episode of a show called Good Eats. Yay, science ( Read more... )

I keep wondering when I'm going to get tired of having the meatball marinara sub from Subway for lunch. For a while now, it's been my staple. Today I realized (when the line worker dude anticipated the stuff I get on my sandwich) that I've had one every weekday for the last... three weeks? Maybe? Something like that? Is yummy, though. Meat and ( Read more... )

*giggles quietly to herself, day thoroughly made*

Wow, it's been a while since I've had a Monday that so truly lives up to Monday's traditional reputation.

1. I forgot my allergy meds this morning so had to run home and cut my work time down by an hour.
2. In the process, it turned out that I forgot I had someone set up this morning that I needed to have people start meeting with, and as I was trying to ( Read more... )

Heh, I'm not even going to try to summarize the last two months right now. I will say:

• I finally have my two-month-long project for work down to the final editing stages.
• Something's biting me at night, and I can't figure out what. Ants are my current prime suspect , but I think I would see them if there were enough to be an issue in my actual ( Read more... )
