Giles ,'Get It Done'
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.
That really is an wonderous mask, tommyrot.
My workplace just sent around an encouraging email, of the sort they're fond of, that reminds us one way to stay healthy through the holidays is to remember your routine and work hard! Don't just "show up" at work, the healthiest people come in intending to get stuff done! The rah-rah BS is deep around here.
The rah-rah BS is deep around here.
I hate that crap. What it boils down to is:
Management: Here's this cool way we came up with to motivate you to work harder!
Workers: What do we get out of it?
Management: You get to work harder!
The dragon mask is excellent.
The rah-rah bs is not.
6 person office. 4 ppl are on the same conference call right now- 2 DIFFERENT PHONES ON SPEAKER. I hear the people speaking, hear it come out the speaker on other phone. They are less than 30 ft away from each other and only 1 phone is behind a closed door (which is on other side of my very thin office wall). I hate them.
I hate it when I can hear someone speaking into his phone on a conference, and then hear his voice coming out of someone else's phone a distinct moment later.
And they just annoyed with me for suggesting they could all be on one phone in an office.
tommyrot, the dragon mask is awesome!
Zenkitty, an email like that would pretty much guarantee that I woul become cranky and rebellious.
We had a busy day yesterday. We visited my grandfather on my dad's side of the family who really isn't doing well health wise. I really wanted him to get a chance to meet ltc. He was charmed by her and more social than usual. So, the whole thing went better than expected. Then we stopped by to see some other relatives who were fighting over who could hold her. Now ltc is looking at me and wondering where the rest of her fan club has gone.
Plus I got blisters on my fingers from using a scissors to cut the cardboard. But it turned out OK.
You are a rock star of dragon mask making! It really looks great.
Oh good lord, msbelle. People are good about not doing that here, that would drive me up a wall. Just hearing one side of a conference call is bad enough, but that is pretty unavoidable in cubicle-land.
Aw, ltc, more holidays coming up, more opportunities for family to adore you!
Now ltc is looking at me and wondering where the rest of her fan club has gone.
"More giant doting humans, Mama! Bring them to me!"
Pretty sure I'm not making it to any of my morning meetings today even though we've been en route for almost two hours.
