Because you're channeling my Mom?
Hee!
At least these kits aren't taking as long to finish as I had originally thought they might--I've gotten four done in 10 days, when I was originally thinking they might take 5-7 days each. Of course, I end up spending about 8 hours per night on them...
Tonight I'll be taking a break, though, because I must dye my hair and clean my apartment thoroughly. I'm putting up my tree on Friday morning, and want to have everything dusted and vacumned before I leave for Dad's in the morning.
I have to go shopping today, and probably after 5:30 (because I am home alone with the kids until then), and probably to Whole Foods (because it is 200 yards away) and it will probably be a zoo, but since I always seem to end up there on Friday evenings when they have a wine tasting and it's insane, it will probably be just like that. Now if only I knew what to get. We are supposed to bring a vegetable. To people who pretty much don't eat vegetables. I wish we could bring the mashed potatoes, which our hosts make in a blender (SO WRONG.) I think we will do our own mini Thanksgiving here on Saturday.
I dropped K-Bug off at Old Navy and went in to check out today's sale items (Men's and women's clearance is 50% off until 5pm). I found a couple shirts for me, 3 shirts for K-Bug, and a couple of shorts for CJ - $24 total. Not to shabby.
Man, they're having a meeting I'm guest speaker at when I'm not actually the subject matter expert. I tried to explain to just about everyone that I'm not the right person to ask, but I just couldn't get off the call. Thank dog I also ran around collecting information at the same time.
ita !, do they think you control or have access to all the information in all the world? Or is it a lack of caring who actually is supposed to be the SME that drives them to expect you to know everything?

I swear, in this project, I think they do. This is a meeting about billing for a company I don't even work for. I'm not in billing. And did I mention I don't work for this company? I work for their sister companies, who have different business models. I'm kinda making shit up here.
Earlier today, I was invited to a meeting about end to end testing of the project. I'm not in testing. I'm involved in 30% of the end to end. And I've covered that 30% in detail already.
It's a good thing I really like this project, but that's probably also why I'm invited to 80% of the meetings. Because I keep perking up when it's mentioned, so they figure it's because I know shit. Uh, oops?
And...it's just occurred to me that I've found another hole in the project that needs to be plugged, so I'm going to send an email about it, and then they're going to assume I have expertise there, and so it goes.
catching up w/ quick bits:
Perkins - congratulations! That is just wonderful.
Sumi - I'm sorry to hear about the student. Ugh. I'll have to look this up online.
My update: because I didn't plan right, I had to do grocery shopping TODAY. Fucking A.
Anyway, I survived Whole Foods and another grocery store (and Panera!) without stabbing anyone, so it is a win-win.
Peace be with you all during the holiday just in case I'm not back here after getting swallowed by my stuffing preparations.
