Things that are annoying at work: on Monday the library integrated system software went down, which was annoying enough while it was actually down. But now we are discovering that part of the outage involved the system sending emails to a bunch of people - apparently enough emails that yahoo mail, gmail, aol and rr.com have all identified anything coming from any ourlibrary.org address as spam and bouncing them back (although helpfully waiting 48 hours before bouncing back). Which as one could imagine makes accomplishing our day to day work rather troublesome. Can I get a TINO, people?

Tell them if they'd given you snow days it wouldn't have happened, RIGHT TINO!?!?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh man, I had forgotten about TINO. Fuckin' TINO!

McPhee called me from the road and I told her to turn around and go back home, she was slipping and spinning out and was all tense. My house does not need cleaning that badly.

I will blame TINO for my rage tears at work this morning. The people who really are to blame should be thankful that TINO is taking the fall for them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We got a new accountant at work at the end of last year. He decided to withhold an additional $1300 each month from my paycheck for federal taxes. I only noticed after the second such paycheck. Oops.

My boss is having him change my withholdings to what they were. Otherwise I'd be getting about a $16,000 refund next year. I just don't wanna wait a year to get than money.

Okay! I've been to the police station. I went to the bank and they can't give me a temp debit card without ID, so I have some cash that I hope will last long enough to get me home. I've reported my corporate card as lost & they are expediting me a replacement for Monday. Calling to replace my health insurance card is next.

I can active my Ventra transit card this weekend and I can replace my Driver's License on Monday. I'll work on replacing my rewards cards after the big stuff gets taken care of.

I'm also somehow managing to squeeze in some work around all this.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My mother is being released any minute now. And Jesus, she's a terrible patient. I think we're all going to need a crankiness-related nap this afternoon.
