- My long black wool coat, which I wore literally until it fell apart, fell apart this morning. Sigh. At least it is finally warming up? A little? The blue wool coat is too heavy for 40-50 degree days, which is where we are now, so my blue jacket will have to suffice. But I loved that coat. It fit well and was roomy enough to wear a fleecy and a ( Read more... )

Due to reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've been asked to add 7 biweekly meetings to boss1's calendar through the end of the second quarter, and as you can imagine, this is making me tear my hair out, especially for the next two weeks, which are already overbooked. This lack of understanding of the basics of space-time - that ( Read more... )

Ugh, I came back to work to find 197 emails to be sorted through in my inbox. The inability of people to reschedule a meeting without me is apparently epic. Luckily, boss1 is out and boss2 is relatively self-sufficient (I have a new i-don't-know-if-she's-my-boss person, but she's out today, though very active on email, telling me how to do my job ( Read more... )

Protip: don't get sick the week before you have a planned vacation, leaving only 1 day in the office to get everything done before you're gone for a week. I've only managed to eat because we had our holiday potluck luncheon today, for which I made the back of the Bisquick box cheesy garlic biscuits, aka, fake Red Lobster biscuits. They came out ( Read more... )

So I left here last night at 8 pm and I was back at my desk this morning at 7:50 am. I would really like this week to be over but unfortunately, I'll have to be here for 8 am tomorrow as well. Sigh. With old boss2 gone, hopefully the culture of 8:30 am meetings will finally die and we can begin at 9 like civilized people ( Read more... )

My Monday night shows were preempted by the Giants game, and I did not even stay up to watch them come back and win. I'm grateful that at least I've been able to sleep over the past week - I mean, all I want to do is sleep, which is bad, but sleeping is always better than not sleeping so. *hands* I mean, there's still that sudden knowledge and ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the first annual NNP staff picnic at Riverside Park. I was initially skeptical - it was thrown together at the last minute and the communications about it were more of the "YOU WILL HAVE ORGANIZED FUN" than the "hey, this might be a cool thing to do with your co-workers" variety (also, they made us come in and work for half a day ( Read more... )
