I've been annoyed at work, as usual. Right now it's because in the last ten days, I've had four separate "this is your highest priority: drop everything else including your last priority and focus on this and get me a presentation of your findings in two days" discussions with my manager, and none of the presentations has actually happened because ( Read more... ) -

We had this blizzard on Wednesday, and I stayed home from work because it really was lousy weather. Somewhere in the middle, the wind was strong enough that it broke out a window in my workshop. (It was gusting to over 100mph, and because of snow and ice accumulation there were a lot of tree branches coming loose.) I managed to patch the window ( Read more... )
