It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

I'm all set up at my new office! The first two days were horrible because my corporate overlords don't want me using Firefox and they've set the proxies here not to contact it. That left me with Explorer and since Explorer hates Gmail, everything was running super slow. Then I ran into the fabulous smartmunkey last night at the Mint and she suggested Google ( Read more... )

Have a puppy icon to celebrate :)

Fingers crossed for the Other Situation <3

Yay puppy! And thanks. I check out of the hotel this AM, and I think I've turned a corner. Now I think it's the psychological stuff I need to work through.

As long as I'm not in a bathrobe and the fuzzy bunny slippers I should be ok.
Sounds like a good place to be *G*

It really is. For years I said I never wanted to be an onsite, but when I really needed a job I did it. This is really the best of both worlds. I'm only dedicated to the one account, but I don't actually have to see them. Or be seen.

I wish I had a 1920s-style icon to go with this comment mad_jaks January 20 2011, 18:42:35 UTC

Giles is always appropriate!

Appropos of nothing in particular...I don't see that you've left any prompts for my Drabble-a-Day project. I'd love to have some from you...especially a birthday request.

Glad to hear about the upside. Too bad you can't telecommute like Steve.

I'm not cut out for working at home. I need the minimal discipline of having to make myself semi-presentable and go to an office.

Plus hubby works nights and sleeps days, so I can't be home with the phone ringing.

I hear you. I did it once, but found it hard to separate work from personal life.

I'm glad to hear things are turning around for you.

So far so good. I have to post something about the OTHER SITUATION, but I'll do that under lock.

I love Google Chrome. Love.

If I were the maternal type I would offer to have its babies.
