Far too often I see grammar mistakes in official communications from those in positions where they really ought to know better. This post is just to vent my frustration at this trend.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, people need to learn to read what they write out loud. If it sounds wrong, it probably is wrong. Sure, sometimes I ( Read more... )

It is my sad duty to relate to you a conspiracy of events clearly orchestrated by some twisted mind in order to keep me from attending my workout. The triggering event was, as usual, my fault. I was out of clean workout clothes. However, this problem was easily solved by popping a load of wash in before I left for work, which I would then dry ( Read more... )

I tend to eat a later lunch than a lot of people. Some people head off at 11am. I could never be hungry for lunch at 11am. Even if I had breakfast at 6:30, I'd just eat a bigger breakfast. Lunch before noon just feels weird to me. Anyway, the point is, these 2pm meetings that I have on Mondays and Thursdays really cramp my style. Today I've ( Read more... )

Those not particularly interested in WoW can stop reading now, but I needed to relate this story.

So I was very recently having a discussion of why the beeping of a low-battery cell phone really drives me nutes (yes, nutes, with an 'e'!). I forgot to mention the biggest reason why, lately, this is driving me more nutes than usual. Somebody in a cube near me has a low-battery cell phone set to LOUD and won't shut it up! This is the second ( Read more... )

I love Defective Yeti. Some of the best stuff there is when he tries to insert new words into the general public's vocabulary. I'm totally with him on this quest, and thus I suggest you all go to this page, educate yourselves, and begin using them forthwith ( Read more... )

Why can't people send out notice for meetings in advance? Like, I'm just asking for a few hours. A day would be ideal, but give me more than 35 minutes' notice. I tend to take a late lunch. This is the second meeting I've missed in as many weeks because I didn't get notice until just before, and was on my lunch break at the time. I could have ( Read more... )

So, I wrote this last week or something, was going to finish it, never got around to it. It's a brief rant about co-workers, proposing a definition of the difference between "kitty-cornered" and "catty-cornered", rambling about exercise, more office whining, and a survey thing. Real entry soon (already begun). Feel free to pass this one over, ( Read more... )
