4424: Messing With The Program
You didn't hear it from me, but Falco is fed up with Miss Priss's inability to type coherently, and though I bit my tongue agreeing or disagreeing with Falco's assessment that maybe I should exclusively do the reports [vs. doing them via Miss Priss, which is like the "drunk person telling a blind person how to drive a car" myth except I'm not drunk and would totally drive myself if I was told to do it vs. direct the blind person [like in the link, but they're not gonna post the meatier clips online]], I'm pretty certain that Miss Priss is dyslexic and/or needs new glasses [the latter of which she's complained about often but has yet to rectify].
I even looked up a free typing lesson she could try, but I can see her spending months on it and getting nowhere--I took the first lesson as a dry run but I slipped up quite a bit because I've become so accustomed to typing coherent words [particularly words in common use] that "exercises" give me a hard time, and I'm certain my WPM is above average when I get a good run going [actual paragraphs, not asdf jkl; kinds of exercises].
So... I'm hoping it cements my place in the company so long as the company's solvent, but I get their hesitation to just kick her to the ground. Hell, I wouldn't, and I want her pay and employee status =/ [If this was Ruok, I'd say otherwise...]
We had a big luncheon today, and at least this time there was actually enough food for everyone =p I didn't really register most of what I ate, since I'm still in "sick = can't tell if I'm hungry" mode, other than the ham was kinda middling and the cheesecake bites were melty but okay. Don't know if it was worth it, but I'm not financing it, so whatevs. Also, still sick =_= but not so sick that I can justify calling off any more days in the near future.
I started back on the aforementioned project, and now I'm annoyed I ever stopped. Granted, the point where I stopped--from the perspective of when I stopped--is justifiably daunting, and the reason I'm annoyed is that 420 consecutive days of art updates taught me how to get over that hump [plus I'm sure this was before I upgraded Photoshop], but still. I'd have a lot more deadline time if I hadn't stopped |=' ...or at least had started adding in the work I've done since then before, basically, just now.
HOORAY HINDSIGHT [I always love how you keep showing up when my deadlines loom...]
