Last week an email went out at work admonishing the ladies of the basement about flushing items they shouldn't. Specifically, it was plastic applicators (apology for the slight TMI there). I knew because I heard the maintenance employee talking about it. I immediately felt defensive because hey - I'm a woman in the basement! But,... Continue Reading →
Whistle while you work – NO!
A tweet I sent yesterday: "Guy sitting next to me here at work just broke into whistling, humming, then singing....O...K.." While the musical interlude got quiet very soon thereafter, the last 30 minutes has provided a pretty steady stream of whistling. Little, random bursts. We've both got headphones on since I'm listening to the Padres... Continue Reading →
I know EXACTLY how to create more jobs!
One of the temp agencies recently sent me an email which contained this interesting info: That Accounting sector total pains me - OUCH! However, see the IT/Technical sector? It's up at least by a small amount. However, I promise you that I have a 100% guaranteed way to explode that number and just about solve... Continue Reading →
That’s MY spot
Today started off crappy. And by crappy, I mean, really totally OK to all rational people. I dropped off SB at school in plenty of time to miss the drop off line traffic. I was happy because I had remembered in time that there was a breakfast special in the cafe that I wanted so... Continue Reading →
What we have here..is a failure..to communicate!
I've freely admitted my entire adult life that I am not a very 'phone friendly' person. I can't explain it, it just is what it is, but I've never been comfortable talking on the phone. Yet I do have a compulsion towards returning calls. If you called me about something - and left a message... Continue Reading →
In case it’s not obvious – I’m underground
Which means offline unless for work 🙂 I've got the dreaded vacancy in That position at work which is the hardest to cover & must BE covered so I am on double time + interviewing so Facebook & blogging are out for awhile, at least for trivial brain dumps. Which I do have clogging up... Continue Reading →
Crank!
Isn't that pretty? Soothing? Calming? Good, 'cause I need that. Just a short rant to say - I think the week of work BEFORE taking a week off might be the worst. Yes, some would argue it's the week you come BACK that sucks more, but..right now, I'd say no. Because at least when you... Continue Reading →
Friday brain dump
Following up on that ergonomic assessment I had done at work a couple of months ago, I finally remembered to take a picture of the new Roller Mouse. That contraption at the bottom of the photo is it - the top part is a rolling bar that glides left and ride and moves the mouse... Continue Reading →
Day by day
Pretty cool when I think about how they have known each other since they were 5 🙂 That announcers booth up there is home base for the checkbook and my purse on Saturday game days. But then I have to run up and down those stairs the whole time chasing kids out of restricted areas,... Continue Reading →
Writing when I dont want to write means that I will be burned out on writing
Is that title enough for you? When I see this program, my brain freezes: I hate MS Word. Very rarely at work I have to use it. It's taken me several years of writing on this site to get to the point when I no longer say that I *hate* writing. But writing at work?... Continue Reading →
