Hm, stuff.
Mar. 21st, 2008 10:24 amIt turns out when you forget to pay people for a long time, sometimes they turn things off. I feel this area has been significantly slighted in public education.
So I have been stuck on dialup for a few days while my DSL gets turned back on. It's not actually as slow as I remember it, which seems impossible since I've had DSL for years. Maybe it really is faster than old timey dialup, or my expectations were low enough that anything seems good.
Ah what else. In the style of Pepys, I could tell you about my UTI!
( Or you could scroll away! )
( Unrelatedly, I have reached a new level of understanding with my boss. )
And now I think I actually have to drop by work. One of our minions is leaving, and I am supposed to sign her going-away card. I don't resent having to do it, I quite liked this minion and am sorry to see her go. What did piss me off is that yesterday, when I absolutely had to leave at 5:00 in order to make my clinic appointment, someone thought it was okay to hand me two gigantic shipments at 4:00 that all had to be processed and merchandised by me. This was easily two hours of work, even cutting corners would not have gotten it done, so I just said that and did as much of it as I could, but it was still very stressful.
And as I was trying to leave this unfinished project in a state that it wouldn't be strewn everywhere, my boss goes, but you have to sign Minion's card! So I say, give it to me and I'll sign it. My boss says she hasn't picked it out yet and Minion's last day is tomorrow, when I'm not working.
Have I mentioned: We work in what is, partly, A GREETING CARD STORE. How do you manage not to pick a card for someone in a two week period while surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of cards that YOU YOURSELF purchased for the store.
Well. I will still go sign it, she better have picked it by the time I get there.
Re: mood icon, I am not really pissed off. but you know, it's a picture of a giant urine sample.
