I couldn’t resist catching up with OMD while a passenger in the backseat and now I am carsick.
I was so ready to be productive today. Then my laptop decided it wanted to be a paperweight. Headdesk
So now I’m coding on paper because our company somehow has no loaner machines?
Boss has been generally better lately, but very classic boss today. Email 15 minutes before quitting time asking for complex analytics, but I can see it’s part of a chain from an exec asking for them… wait for it… 6 days ago. He needs them tomorrow morning. LOLOLOLOL.
Agree that they don’t deserve you or latte
Today is a VERY HUNGRY day. I can no longer predict these days and they’re coming more frequently than they did when I was on hormonal birth control.
WHY.
The job I was excited about applying to that was supposed to be my escape from my job’s craziness turns out to be plenty full of it’s own craziness and now I’m debating whether I really want to apply.
I have a very sweet friend who means well and who I do genuinely like who is always trying to compliment me in patronizing ways. She just texted me to ask if I “got my first client the other day” because of something she saw on Instagram.
…I’ve been doing this since 2013.
I don’t know how to respond without being like uhhh…I already had clients, you just didn’t know?
Maybe just pretend you misunderstood. “Oh yes, it’s been so cool to be able to keep working with my first client all these years. I’ve made sure to keep time for them, even with all the rest of my work, because I value that relationship and it’s duration!”
Yeah, I ended up being like “Oh I’m not sure what you mean. I’ve had clients for a while but I’ve been trying to recruit more which might be what you’re seeing?” and then she asked about something on my instagram and I was like “Oh I had a crazy week of meetings last week, hoping some of those things turn into contracts”
I know she means well and has no intent to be insulting but she does it a lot. I think it’s hard for her to relate because I can say things to her like “how did that project you were working overtime on go?” / “how was your business trip?” but she just doesn’t know what to even ask me because my work life is so different from corporate work life. And part of it is probably my insecurities, when people ask me things in that way it always feels like they’re congratulating me for making sales at my lemonade stand.
The specialist that was trying to help with my loss of hand function has run out of ideas and discharged me as a patient. There is officially nobody interested in fixing my fucking hands. I sort of need them, you know?
My tablet spontaneously wiped itself. All the apps are deleted and the memory card is now blank.
Often when it’s just lying under my pillow it thinks buttons are being pressed and does weird stuff, but this seems extreme. Is it possessed? Are aliens controlling it?
At least it’s just my entertainment machine and nothing sensitive was on it. All the books and music are also on my computer. But still.
Congratulations!!! You have a brand new tablet!!!
I hauled myself out of bed and made and ate food before I got too weak to do so! I still need to add more food, but this is huge
Oops this is a victory
I keep getting tiny cuts on the back of my hand from the door to the breakroom at work. At some point in the past 2 weeks I apparently began opening it differently, and now I bash my hand on the latch at least twice a week.
I keep screwing up my timecard paperwork. I’ve been using this stupid stupid system since June so it’s not entirely the system’s fault ( but it’s a very shitty system ) and I absolutely did fail to notify my supervisor of an appointment (out of like 40 since December).
And this FMLA paperwork is ridiculous.
Was it Daisy?
Daisy isn’t known for being bright or malicious. She is not a suspect at this time.
Unless you have some information that will assist the inquiry?
I received another 1099-INT form 3 days after filing my taxes. TurboTax doesn’t have the “amend” function live for 2019 yet.
I saw a poppy today. Last year we had a poppypocalypse (google it!) that literally turned into a state of emergency in my town. Please, no poppies!
