I'm so looking forward to this three day weekend, I can't even tell you. Especially since I'll be spending tomorrow at my sister's for a BBQ, and including travel time, it takes up the whole damn day.

Last night, L. and I went to see Pitch Perfect 2, which I enjoyed a lot, though lord knows, they could cut out the worst of the *ist jokes and it'd ( Read more... )

Last night's event honoring my boss who is retiring went well. The free food and wine were excellent, and best of all, it only took me 15 minutes to get home ( Read more... )

So we had a bit of a situation here yesterday when suddenly just before 4 pm, the power went out. Just our floor and the floor above. We waited around for a few minutes, but when the building said they weren't going to be able to fix it quickly, we all went home. It was nice getting home early. Now it's mostly fixed, but the AC in the server room ( Read more... )

ZOMG WORK. I was already late this morning - sick passenger at 59th St messed everything up - so I decided to stop in at the World's Slowest StarbucksTM for coffee (I don't understand how a store that is busy even at off times is always so understaffed and overwhelmed). And when I got here at about 9:20, it was all, "ORG CHARTS FOR EVERYONE" and ( Read more... )

Ugh, this day has been one long interruption.

City Council budget hearings on health today, and my boss wanted me to stay for the public testimony, so it took up my whole day. Which was fine, but in addition to not eating lunch, I also had no caffeine this morning, so when I got home, I had the worst headache. I took a nap, and now I'm waiting for a chicken parm hero to be delivered, because ( Read more... )

Board meeting is over with - they spent most of the time in executive session, which means the minutes are going to be super short, so that's a win on two levels. Plus, free bagels and coffee! (Also, there was a brief discussion of the porn industry at the meeting, in the context of HIV prevention, i.e., adult film actors wearing condoms v. using ( Read more... )

I'm 98% packed. I will need to remember to bring my phone charger, since it's a different cord now from my iPad charger, and I was undecided about my cab situation - I knew I didn't want to have to schlep to a corner and hail a cab, because the corners are disgusting with ice and slush, and also I am not going to wear a heavy coat or boots and ( Read more... )

Last night I posted a draft here instead of to my writing journal. I think it's only the third time it's ever happened, but ugh, I hate it when I don't pay attention and do that ( Read more... )

Because I know you were wondering, boss1 is okay - no broken bones, just bruises and aches. She's actually here today, which I have to say, I do not think I would be that hardy. Which is probably why I'm not a CEO.
