I couldn't find the toilet in my room in the Denver Four Seasons. I actually had to call the front desk.
Wait, what? How did they hide the toilet from you?
After my recent experience with bed bugs, I think that is going to be the first thing I check next time I'm in a hotel. (We are assuming our infestation came from K-Bug's trip to Las Vegas).
Wait, what? How did they hide the toilet from you?
It was behind this door, which didn't look like a door. I think it was a pocket door, in fact, but there were not a lot of indications it was anything but a wall.
Sadly, the woman at reception said I was far from the first person to call about it.
No social capital blown at all, amych. I'm confident that your feelings are shared by many. We are talky meat!
amych's feelings are my feelings.
I suppose a separate thread for images would be fine, and I understand wanting to have a place for stuff that others (facetwittumbl, etc.)don't see.
Still, since I already have three domain names, posting images here wouldn't be much different than adding them to my wordpress account and linking to a comment in-thread, would it?
If we do have images- can Dana be Elijah Wood again?
Hey!
I think if we do have images, Dana is required to be Elijah Wood again. Or a lamppost.
Sadly, the woman at reception said I was far from the first person to call about it.
Not sadly! That means it's a design flaw.
Hey, speaking of hotels, since I'm going to be gone for a bit, I'm not sure how good I'll be at keeping the Good Stuff coming. So if anyone wants to submit stuff to reblog between tomorrow and Wednesday, that would be awesome. I don't think I can make new posts from my phone, what with the switching between tabs and saving pictures and everything else.
An awesome short comic story.
I guess it sucks to be a unicorn. Or this particular unicorn, anyway.
News from Chicago:
School buses scrapped - chicagotribune.com
Eight school buses were stolen from the Far South Side overnight and driven to a salvage yard, where they were cut apart and shredded into a two-story pile of scrap, police said.
...
The buses were all equipped with GPS tracking devices, and police were able to track "their entire movement" to the scrap yard on the West Side, police said.
When officers arrived, several people who apparently worked in the scrap yard ran into a building, police said. Officers initially apprehended one person and later took two others into custody.
"There was a pile of shredded school buses about two-stories high," one police official said. Some pieces were large enough that police could see the "Sunrise bus logo," the official said.
Engines and transmissions from the buses had already been cut in half, and the seats tossed in a "big pile of scrap."
wtf?
What does your company think this means? Because I don't think they are doing it right.
This isn't something I can hold against the company. When the director went to a different group, he got what he wanted within minutes. My manager is still balking at providing that *exact* same thing, because she didn't read the original email, and refused to let me tell her what was in it. She needed a meeting with the director, she said, and in the meanwhile, someone else got to look like they do their job right, and I and my group look like idiots.
I tried to hash this out with the analyst that doesn't butt heads with the manager, but all he could do is tell me the history that provokes the constant freakouts--when I asked him why not forestall all that by reading the whole email he shrugged.
I've been making a point to look better than what my team actually provides, because so often management gets in the way of us doing anything at all, and I'm frustrated that I had to lose face here on top of not doing my job right. It can't keep being my fault that she doesn't think I'm taking all the criteria into account, because they're right there in the email, all the stuff she says she didn't know.
But that's not important right now--I made it about ninety minutes at work, and had to cancel/postpone all my meetings and come home. In fact, I might have passed my manager in the parking lot. This means I won't get a one on one before the bonuses/raises are given out, but I don't expect to get much, since my direct management has the poorest impression of me in the company.
