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.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Punishingly Intricate
The most tragic part of this non-snow snow day is that my friend's store, where I had a mani-pedi scheduled for this afternoon, is closed for the day. And I leave for New Orleans tomorrow afternoon! TRAGIC! I may just get to the airport early enough to see if I can get at least a pedicure there before my flight. Otherwise I will have to come up with another shoe plan for my trip (i.e., not bring sandals).
Sorry mac is being a bummer about the trip, msbelle. Hope he straightens up and flies right before you get there.

I am on day 16 of being hoarse, day 20 of the actual cold. Though my voice is getting better, now it breaks like an awkward teen if I try to use an upper register. Ears are still kind of plugged. Don't get sick people.

I'm on day 17 of my cold, which I guess really isn't a cold but rather bronchitis. I suppose I should go for antibiotics soon.
