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.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have a starter cold too. I'm hoping I can stave off any further developments. Meanwhile I'm drinking chocolate tea and suddenly realizing that Jilli was right, chocolate tea is god, and now I must get my hands on that David's Tea version she raves about STAT.

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.
Ugh, I know this pain. (No, I am not "in charge" of billing/invoicing for the entire department, I'm just the only one apparently willing to open up SAP.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I'm sure that the scenario where I feel I will get penalised for not making it happen, but the person whose job it actually is will not get penalised for not doing it--that's not unique to me or my position or my company. Why does that happen? What are the things that I'm slacking on that someone else is getting unfairly chided for? There must be something, right?
Or is it a type of person that comes with a built in excuse ("You know how developers are..." Lazy? Deaf? Unable to speak on conference calls? I'm not sure what "how" means in that context...)

What is weird is that my job as an administrative assistant is a lot about getting people to do things as well- one of my colleagues always says that we should be glad that the people in accounting and HR and IT need prodding to get things done, or else we would not have jobs.

Crap, that reminds me I forgot to prod someone today.

Thanks Jilli - He will probably be really into that.
HE has been to Disneyland - he knows some of what to expect, it is not that - it is the fact that we are going anywhere, just that we are not staying home is what he is bummed about. That is why he is a turd.
