So far my sister blames herself, and no doubt my mother blames *herself*. I haven't asked my father whose fault he thinks it is yet, but at least I'm pretty sure I'm off the hook. My mother, with disdain for how disease calls the shots, and incredible optimism and a desire to not act like a sicky (hey, maybe my sister should sit her down and make her watch The Princess Bride--instant lead balloon--while we stuff her full of leafy greens) had laid out a schedule around her chemo that had her lecturing and marking again. Given she's useless chemo week and she's now one week off, all that will have to be re-jiggered.
Translation would be highly appreciated, Burrell, as are everyone's good wishes and consolation.
Oh, good god, msbelle. That's the best two week wait ever! Good on you! (Have you done anything highly illegal you need erased off your records, stat? I mean, not that I know how, but I understand...stuff happens)
I just had to send out an email with a bit of "Why the fuck isn't everyone at the same alert level as I am?" The middle went like this:
The first change is “OMG, Compliance violations! Fix this now!” level of priority, and the second is somewhere around “That’s no good—we should fix it while we’re fixing the other stuff.”¹ Our goal is to complete QA by this Friday, so if you could do your darndest to get the queries modified and back into QA as soon as you can, it would be highly appreciated. And then there’s the vendor wiping of QA, etc.
Also—the query that generates who’s qualified and who’s not should be run before our next “initial” file feed. (for your interest, I rank that at “Well, if we do it now, we don’t need to remember to do it later.”)
¹: If you need my full priority list, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Get on it, people!
