Yes, I know I’m horribly unhip to have a full-on love affair with my Blackberry (and NOT an iPhone because I don’t HAVE an iPhone), but OH. MY. GOD! Am I happy to have a BB today.
After more than TWO WEEKS out of the office, I’m not digging through hundreds of e-mails. I kept up [...]
Ok, I know I still have a job and I know that I do a good job at work. But, I still get this uneasy, queasy feeling each and every time my boss says “I need to talk to you for a few minutes.” So now I have the next 30 minutes to go over [...]
Ah, my dear SupaCoo, how I have neglected you for so long. How I have failed to tell good, juicy stories involving lost, drunk, abandoned nights on the streets of Prague, and the edible baked goods of Amsterdam. Nor have I mentioned the friends getting picked up by German police, and that one TEENY incident [...]
I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me a note excusing me from work until Monday. I kind of laughed and said to myself “Ha, I’ll be back by Wednesday.” But when I told my co-workers my deviant plans to break the rules, they said absolutely not. Apparently it is some kind of [...]
Nicht so gut.
Same with the food. But it was a good anniversary anyway.
On another note, one thing I’m learning here is that there are a lot of laws. Like, lots and lots. For example, last week I was planning to do some work on the weekend. I mentioned this to a co-worker and she told [...]
There is a person in my office who is a stander. It drives me crazy.
Here’s the deal. I’m sitting here, working my tail off, trying to get a day’s worth of work slammed into one hour before I have to go to yet another meeting. The stander will walk over, say “Hey, how’s it going,” [...]
One of the most traumatizing events of my life was happened at my 8th grade graduation awards ceremonies. The typical awards were handed out - those above a certain GPA, the president’s physical fitness awards for most situps, etc. And then I heard, “And, for perfect attendance her entire middle school career…”
I tried to hide. [...]
As the year winds down, I find that I’ve been asked to write performance evaluations on a number of my colleagues. I’ve done this in the past, and usually it’s not something I even think twice about. “So-and-so meets deadlines and is fun to work with.” This time, though, I’ve been asked to evaluate someone [...]
Crap! Two days left of NaBloPoMo and I’ve found writer’s block. (I have some good stories about work folk, especially stupid work folk, but I’ve made a resolution that there will be no more making fun of co-workers. Lame, I know.)
I did, however, talk to some of the folks in Germany last week. I subtlety [...]
A new “me” started yesterday. I’m calling him that in hopes that it will really become true, even though I’m not completely sold on his abilities. (And really, a new “me?” Them’s some pretty big shoes to fill.)
This guy is my golden ticket, my European vacation for two years, so I really need to keep [...]
