Pointless Announcements

My mom does. She has to. And as a new mom, you know you can't deny it.

So THERE!

 

Well, I can get on through my cell...but that's cumbersome to bring up on it...much less type anything, that's worse. Not worth it.
I've just set my own "policy" ...colorful threads only at home. Best practice.

 

I just found out that I can get a 25% discount on a one-year pass to JSTOR through the editors' association.

Must... resist....

 

I checked off most of the items on today's to-do list. Pretty good, I'd say.

 

I bet these would be two fun old dudes to have a 3 hour dinner with, or hang with for a day in the city.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen Are New York's Best Tourists

 

Well they are both in their mid-70s, so it isn't THAT bad to label them 'old', especially when in the context of calling them awesome.


Fwiw, one of my regular riding buddies, who I consider a very close friend, is 65. Another guy who I consider a life long friend is in his early 70s. So I'm not hatin on the 'old dudes' at all.

 

Apparently my landlord bought our house without ever having seen it.

 

My introduction of my potential solution went over positively with the department that was resistant to change when the project was under different project mgrs. Good start.
Now, I get to present it to the workgroup from multiple departments tomorrow.

And that's just part I
Part II, I'm just fleshing out and adjusting it...but the idea was given the thumbs up to the client contact I'm reporting to. And could see many benefits.

Now I just have to get all the friggin' documentation and status reports up on SharePoint.
I hate that thing...glorified file share.
And I don't like putting things up until there's something good to chew on.
Otherwise, it's just redundant or moot work...and people can use it to tear down a project or momentum.

 

It doesn't happen often, but billing for phone calls is fucking awesome.

$1 a minute

 

For my second job, I get to bill my hourly rate for emails. So, fifteen minutes of emailing = an hour of pay. It's pretty sweet.

 

Oh, I get to bill for emails regarding the work I do for my main client, but it's only about $0.50 a minute.

 

Oh, FSM, the things my husband comes home smelling like. There's one chemical that I can't remember the name of offhand that STINKS. I picked him up from work one afternoon, and we had to drive home with the windows down. That was despite the vented hood!!! I can only imagine what he would smell like otherwise. YUCK.
