I'm having a bad day
I took a weightlifting class last night, and my dumbass listened to the instructors instead of reading the chart on the wall that listed out what weights I should be using as a beginner. I am so sore today that I literally cannot walk down a flight of stairs.
My client was taken off the project on Monday, so now my team will have yet another change in direction/ramp-up time with the new client. I will try to contain my excitement.
We're losing half of the on-site support team over the next few weeks (there are a total of 4 of us...going down to 2). They are also being re-assigned because they couldn't cut it. Training their replacements will also require some time and patience. I'm already doing the work of two people right now...looks like it'll increase to three for the short-term future.
The only other competent onsite person is gone today and tomorrow so he can be best man in a wedding. Pfffftt, who authorized this? (I'm just kidding here.) So now one of the to-be-replaced team members is going to run the logistics of this afternoon's teleconference by herself, and she just gave me a heads-up that she wouldn't be taking good notes as a result. I mean, really? Who does that? Can you really not juggle advancing Powerpoint slides and taking notes at the same time? I can't shoulder everything by myself FFS.
I need a drink. The pumpkin ale I had last night wasn't that great (New Holland Ichabod in case you're wondering).
Re: I'm having a bad day
Sorry you're having a crappy day bowies. You better drink some of the hard stuff tonight!
On a positive note, your Thanksgiving sounds like a lot of fun!
Buuuut you have a 3 day weekend to look forward to. Right?
I'm sorry you are having a bad day. Would you like to come over later for Jack and Gingers?
I had the Night Owl last night and it was tasty, but one could overdose on it. By the end of the bottle, I sorta felt like I had sucked on a penny. Small doses is my vote.
P.S. Your boss sucks.
What is the Night Owl?
Pumpkin ale from...hmm...
::going to check the bottle::
Elysian. That's what I thought.
OK. ::Puts head on Muddled's lap::
I might bust out the Weyerbacher tonight. It has the highest alcohol content. Or maybe I'll go buy more of the Starr Hill. That one is going to be the one to beat.
I have to work on Columbus Day, though I get to do it from home.
I'm sorry Bowies. That sucks.
We are having a very similar experience. I managed to consume a whole Shipyard Halloween Ale last week with nachos, and I finished a Newcastle once at a bar, and that's it.
I had Shock Top raspberry. It would be great if I could start liking beer because we get a ridiculous amount of it from BF's work and I could drink free at bars. I've been trying a drink every time he gets a beer. He just got me my own last week because he knew I was trying.
::Plays with Bowies's hair:: I know it sucks, but you can totally handle this. You are cool like that. I am surprised you have to work Monday. Sorry.
I have the Weyerbacher too. Perhaps I should bust it out as well. I am going to have to look for that Starr Hill.
You are so cute.
See, that sounds so delicious. They always do. Pumpkin! Raspberry! Blueberry! Wheat! Yum! ... Gross.
Good Lord no. ::Clutches beer to bosom::
I think you and Crabby need to try and find the Starr Hill Boxcar. It actually tasted like pumpkin pie beer. Some beers only give a hint of flavor, but this one...yum.
Now THAT would make for a bad day!
This the Pumpkin Beer that I enjoyed last year. I'm sure there is better, but it is really good with a loaded sweet potato & a good steak.
