Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Much Ado About Nothing will be playing at the Wisconsin Film Festival this year. I really hope I can get to Madison for that.
I think I'll go. Madison is only 2 1/2 hours away from me. Unfortunately MAAN is playing on a Thursday. Maybe I'll drive from Madison to work at Highland Park Friday morning.
eta: Wisconsin Film Festival expands to eight days
Ooh, that could be fun.
Fun, sumi!!
It's still raining here.
Our DC office is closed
Feh. All we got was fat rain.
This cold is not backing down. I feel awful. But in that "this ain't nothing" way. Like, if I begged off now, Friday would have me whimpering like a small child denied chocolate. This is just a starter cold, and I'm being a wuss because I'm not used to it, and because I'm scared it will get worse. But I absolutely can't lead any meetings today.
I'm still trying to navigate being borrowed. This director is setting up things he wants me to take over, but I'm not his--so how is that going to work? I'm assuming it's all flattering (he was very complimentary about the compulsive edits I made to his slide deck--it might be the first time in my career anyone's ever thanked me for not being able to just read) but I'm not sure what's sustainable, or what my actual manager is expecting to happen in the long run.
There are things in this group I have to do, because no one either knows how or is willing to get off their ass and try shit. Like, if you come up with a list of troubleshooting problem-isolating steps that should be performed on the test systems, DON'T BOUNCE THAT BACK TO THE USERS. Do it yourself, system admin/developer. You are misinterpreting the hierarchy here.
The Bean.
Wow. That is now my favorite photo of The Bean.
what my actual manager is expecting to happen in the long run.
That would seem to be the thing to clear up toot sweet, imo.
This cold that had me taking two days off last week is still hanging on. It may be the worst cold I've ever had. My bottle of DayQuil is nearly empty, and I've got cough syrup here at work and at home. It's been rampaging through everyone I know, and I've apparently got another two weeks to get through.
I just got over a cold I had in January, and there is still a lingering cough. This was a bad cold season, although I think it morphed into a sinus infection, as what ended up clearing me up was antibiotics.
