OK, here's why I actually love my job. I was thinking, Should I work late again tonight, I really don't feel like it, need to go to the drug store, wah wah wah. And then I remembered that here, "late" is 5:30. That is not late! Not when I get here at 9!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Misha Collins is also batshit insane and a fandom nutter. He was an intern at the White House, worked at NPR, is a published poet, heads a charity, is a distance runner, and enjoys working fans into a complete lather by being a crazy person. I might fangirl him a wee bit.
Married his high school sweetheart, who is herself a published author of a very instructive how-to manual.

Wow nice! I'm usually one of the last people leaving here 5:40 - 6 usually but I'm also one of the last getting in, I think.
I have a totally irrational thing about working hours, like, I think I am the only person who works them. I officially work 8-5 (we have to take an hour for lunch, and no we do not get paid for it). I am usually in by 7:45, and often enough nobody else is here until 9:30. I leave at 5, and I am rarely the first to leave. Now, I know that we have flexible schedules, because we work one night a week and people flex for teaching evening classes, but it totally makes me feel like I am the only person who is enough of a sucker to actually work the hours I am supposed to.
My hours are so all over the place it's ridiculous. I am so grateful for this job and my boss who also works insane hours. I don't know that I could ever go back to a set-hours schedule. Or one that I'd have to show up and work in the office for a set amount of hours. I am crazy lucky.
And it's very important to one of my reports that his schedule is 8-4:30 (he's back in school and also is involved in a lot of after-work sports) and I make sure he is out by that time every day (I often will pick up on one of his projects to complete it that night just so that he can leave). We're an excellent tag team.
I am about to kill someone. Our tracking document where we note when every content change requested is open by an admin asst. somewhere which not only means that I can't make some changes that were requested, but it also means that if she's jacked with anything, I and my team are screwed.
Can you do a "save as" and upversion it, thereby making the one she has opened and possibly changed obsolete?
Oh no she didn't. She just sent me a "No problem, I just got out" email. Excel is telling me changes were made.
Flea, you would hate working with me. My offical work hours are 7:30 - 3:30, lunch at my desk. I usually get in the office earlier than that, but when I leave at 3:30, I always feel as though I'm getting away with something. Often enough, I check in on e-mail in the evenings and sometimes end up doing work.
Then there are the days I work from home - I'm trying to cut back to just Wednesdays, but since a good 80% of the people I work with are in other offices, I can get my work done anywhere. And working in my PJ's is so comfy.
