'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I know November hasn't been the best month for a lot of you, but what are people thankful for this Thanksgiving?
I'm thankful my mother came through here surgery OK and that her knee seems greatly improved. I'm also glad my sister is working again, and at what she used to do.
On a more selfish note, I'm thankful I'm still working and that the dermatologist said I had no signs of skin cancer.
And I'm thankful this place is here.
If my coworkers really need to get in touch with me I have email open all through the workday.
Seriously. I have email. I am visible on IM. I AM TWO FUCKING CUBES DOWN THE HALL.
I am at work, playing FB games and knitting.
Yes, it is THAT busy.
Sometimes e-mail is better. My co-worker whose office is 30 feet from mine ALWAYS picks the 15 minutes when I'm eating lunch at my desk to stop by and discuss assignments she's handing over to me.
My one coworker hits "send" on the email and then walks over to talk to me about it. Unnecessary!!
I am thankful to have a job.
Sorry about dropping out of here last night! To get caught up: Steph, shrift was right--surgery is on Monday the 29th.
SuziQ, insent!
And I have a ton o' shit to do today. Making sure I clean off my desk, get some archiving done before leaving, calling various doctors and insurance companies to make sure they've got everything they need for next week, and then heading over to BB&B for the last batch of stuff I need for my apartment and then over to the DMV for my car registration renewal (at least they're open until 7:00). Then back home to finally get my apartment cleaned! I'll probably be pulling an all-nighter to finish that off.
And I am thankful that my stress test was normal. Now, to find out WHY my first ekg seemed to show that my heart had been deprived of oxygen.
My one coworker hits "send" on the email and then walks over to talk to me about it. Unnecessary!!
I have a co-worker to whom I do this, but in his case it is necessary because he cannot or will not read emails. I send them anyway so that our correspondance is documented, but if I don't walk over and say "About that email I just sent..." then the whole thing just vanishes into the aether.
I believe it is sometimes necessary and appropriate, but not in these cases. I respond to emails!
Oh, lisah, if you're around, I have one more restaurant suggestion: Gobo.
