I'm beginning to seriously loathe Tuesdays. Honestly, this is the worst day of the week for me, and has been for quite some time. For some unknown reason, people tend to be the bitchiest on Tuesdays, and I'm usually tired and not in the mood to deal with that. Today has been particularly bad with one of our 3 employees calling out sick. I'm ( Read more... )

Well, I'm feeling a bit better today. Still hurts to swallow, but not nearly as much. I'm much more alert today, probably helps that daylight savings time ended and I got that extra hour of sleep. It's been wierd. I've been going to bed really early all weekend, nearly went to bed at 8 last night, but I managed to stay up until 9:30. I usually ( Read more... )

Well, it looks like I'll be down in BC for another week or so. The due date for the integrated phone system has been moved to Nov 1st. So I can look forward to another fun week and a half of fun in Cereal Land. Not that I mind awfully much at this point.

Okay, so my last entry on my blog yesterday is either an essay on the failings of modern corporate culture or I've taken bitching about my job to the next level. I wonder which it is...

Two nights ago I stayed up late reading the latest Timothy Zahn book till 3am, and got about 5 hours of sleep. Last night I went to bed at 12:30, got a full 8 hours of sleep. Yesterday I was fully awake and didn't seem to have lots of energy. Today I feel like a zombie. I'm rather confused by this. I should be fully awake today, having had a ( Read more... )

After today I have one more day of work before the long weekend of Christmas. Lets hope we all don't overdose on family togetherness. Work got into the spirit of things by giving us all Christmas Hams. One of my co-workers doesn't eat ham, so I got two. How can you not eat Ham? Isn't Christmas the time of year when all good Christians eat ham ( Read more... )

My employers are big on morale boosting schemes. What they forget is that tech geeks tend to have the morale of tepid oatmeal at the best of times. Every Christmas, they have us fill out appreciation forms for all of our co-workers. We got them delivered to us today. Apparently I'm appreciated being knowledgeable and funny for the most part.
