Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least my work people should be leaving for the holiday soon. Seriously, if the person reading the thing doesn't care about X, we do not need to have YET ANOTHER conversation about X!!

OK, deep breaths.

Maybe we can help each other out a little? Criss-cross?

Strangers on a Train?

Oh, my god was that Muppet video hilarious!! It really did have everyone--even the Newscaster, and I haven't seen him since the Muppet Show!

Sigh. I miss Jim Henson.

But the new minds at Henson Associates (or whatever they're called now) are doing well with the franchise.

Oh man, I'm irritated. I wanted to take Monday off because this weekend is going to be fucking hectic, but couldn't because our other on-site team leader and the remote lead are both off.

Except no. On-site person marked that day way early in the year just in case and forgot about it and never bothered to say anything until I pointed out just now when she scheduled a meeting on Monday.

(Remote lead is out the entire week. And I'm not sure how that works out, exactly, given that she put us all in the shit by taking off the entire month of April. And I counted the days - 17 consecutive PTO days. We get 18 total. So how exactly is she off the entire week following a holiday?)

I wish I had headphones so I could watch Muppets.

--------------------

Ok, my boyfriend is sick -- spent the last two days home -- but he spent all day playing a video game while I did all this! He got the leaf out, and helped me with that -- that's it!!

I get that he's ill, but he could have at least brought me a glass of tea or something.

I get that he's ill, but he could have at least brought me a glass of tea or something.

That depends, which video game was he playing?

Anybody know how to set a print area (or something like that) on a PDF? Is it even possible? Should I take this to Tech?

You can set the bleed in the originating program (which is also where the page size is set up). But I don't believe you can alter it in Acrobat.

If youhave Photoshop, you can open the PDF file one page at a time and crop them down to a smaller size individually if that's that you need.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

that it implied bad things are out in the world.

Um, there are bad things out in the world. People should take care.

I am back from TJ's. They had the horseradish pub cheese. I didn't get any, but I noted that it was available. And I just realized that while I did get buttermilk biscuits I forgot to get frozen croissants. A woman standing in the dairy section asked me if the whipped cream had eggs in it, is that a thing that happens? And while I'm asking questions: I got a Kosher turkey, do I really and truly not need to brine it?

All right. I'm off to Union Station in a few minutes. I hope I haven't forgotten anything, because if I have, it's too late now.

Happy Turkey Day to those that celebrate.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Man, I am all of a sudden getting a lot of push back from a co-worker asking me to do stuff. I don't wanna. It bugs her that I do not want to learn more and take more of a role, but I don't, deal with it. I am so much happier in a job that does not require a lot of thought. dude, whatever. I will call people tomorrow, but I hope she chills over the Holiday.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm working from home and have been having an e-mail discussion with my boss that basically boils down to me explaining that a positive number minus a negaative number makes a larger positive number.

We both crunch numbers on a daily basis. Headdesk or more accurately headcoffeetable.
