I know you were all waiting with bated breath, but after a few near disasters, the event went off spectacularly last night. Everyone was pleased, which is the most important part. My feet still hurt and I feel like I'm hungover, but I went in late this morning and left early (boss1 called and was like, "You should leave at noon! I should have told ( Read more... )

So the event is today and I was preparing to print out the seating list for staff onsite, but I just got an email switching stuff around for about 10 of the 27 tables. I have a car coming at 1 pm to take me to the venue so I can spend my afternoon stuffing gift bags and putting inserts in program journals, so if it's not done by then, someone else ( Read more... )

I did in fact stop in at Home Depot last night to pick up a new light bulb for my bathroom (everyone I mentioned this to was surprised but it's not like they carry 3 ft. long fluorescent bulbs in Duane Reade. Or maybe they do and I just can't find them), and then when I climbed up onto the toilet to install it, I discovered that the reason the old ( Read more... )

Went out to the island yesterday for a birthday dinner for my dad - he turned 81! He's doing pretty well, and it was a nice afternoon, even if it required ~4.5 hours roundtrip of travel for a 3.5 hour visit ( Read more... )

no love,

I definitely need more coffee for this.

eta: also, stop wasting my time with meetings! Just tell me what needs to be done and ( Read more... )

Another board meeting successfully completed! Woo! Plus free bagels for breakfast and lunch! Plus it's warm enough today that I wore a sleeveless dress with a cardigan and no tights. And it's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow! Look, I know climate change is terrible, but if I have to put up with multiple instances of polar vortex in my winters ( Read more... )

Well, I'm glad this week is over! My board packets got done, but it was a near thing at points today - I had the usual screw-ups, but also a few brain farts that led to copying only one side of a 2-sided document and only figuring it out when I was collating, and also copying something in black and white that was meant to be in color. That I ( Read more... )
