I don't know anything about that, but you make a persuasive argument.
I can take every Friday off in February and be back up to having a week of vacation available by April. I think I'm gonna do that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Got an invite at 7:58 for an 8AM call to find that major changes to our department are being rolled out to my direct reports TODAY without any background or prep (including that they are no longer my DRs as of 1/1 but will not be told who they do now report to). JFC, my boss just has no concept of change management or fucking human nature at all.
WOW, Brenda. That is some bullshit.
WTF? That makes no sense, brenda.
You took that other position?
That would make me crazy, Brenda.
Yes? I mean, once that other position came up my boss went ahead and restructured the entire department without me so not really any options. And frankly, since it gets me out of her organization I'm glad of it. But I'm sort of in a weird no-man's-land right now. The new role won't ramp up for a month or so.
It's not just me affected, others are in a similar boat. But god damn this is weird and effed up.
Tep, is [link] the 5k with the cape you did? What did you think of it?
It is! I thought it was fun. It's not chip timed (or at least it wasn't when I did it), if that's important to you.
Thanks, good to know! I do like the chip timing, but it's not a deal breaker.
What a mess, brenda! Well, I'm glad you are out of there before too long, anyway.
Oh jeez, brenda! That's worse than what happened at my job this morning! Some people learned their whole team is being moved -- so they have the same boss, but their boss has a different boss -- in a large department meeting. I had heard this was happening before the holidays, but the people on the actual team hadn't.
The Salt Lake Tribune's weather page seems to be the lair of interesting people. The headline says this is perfect weather for Canadian geese and melancholy Norwegian playwrights, and the article itself includes quotes from Ibsen. But really, when your job is to write about the weather every day, you need to liven it up a little. And the comments are interesting, too, one from a bicycle commuter who only relinquishes his bike in life threatening storms and a couple from someone down on the Hopi reservation. A surprisingly pleasant corner of a website filled with conservative/liberal fights and some nasty name calling.
