If you are at work today,

what are you doing?

I'm making my detailed cleaning and prep list, in Excel so I look busy, just in case the one other person back here walks by.

Re: If you are at work today,

  • I have a meeting at 8:30. Then I have plenty to do to keep me busy today so I'm going to hurry and do it all this morning so I can slack off and do nothing this afternoon! :)

  • Nothing. 

    I already did my billing, ran errands, paid bills, did payroll, etc. now I'm just waitin for the phone to ring. Or the guys to finish a job so I can do more billing...which will last for 0.02 seconds. 

     

    And the phone rang, I answered and some guy screamed in my ear. Then attempted to sell insurance. 

     

     

  • Dude, wtf does this.

    Emails (Re: report for next Tuesday)

    Boss #2: Motzie, we'll need 12 copies for the meeting.

    Me: Ok, thank you. I'm making the edits now and will print and bind on Monday.

    Boss: Ok, just make sure you check with me before you "print"

    What's with the quotes dude?!?

  • Ugh I'm working on some stuff I have to finish up for the break. It's keeping me busy though.
  • I'm slacking. I've been reading truuconfessions.com all morning.

  • I'm here today.  And will be here on Friday (but will only probably have about half a day).  We work when the stock market works... and the stock market is fvcking stupid and opens the day after Thanksgiving.

    I'll probably be continuing to read War and Peace on the Kindle Cloud reader on my computer so it's less obvious I'm reading.  I'll also probably do a bit of Christmas shopping.

  • After lunch, I'm programming 200 cipher locks with a hand held PDA.  Meaning I need to physically go to each lock.  Yuck.

  • I'm lurking around TN and posting on boards I usually never visit just to get some human interaction.

    I felt all motivated yesterday and stupidly got all my work done... so now I have nothing to do.  All of my project teams are out for the day so I can't even get status updates from them.  I do have one meeting at 12:30 and I'm kind of excited to have someone else to talk to for half an hour.

  • My bosses are out meeting with clients.  I'm on TN and likely ordering in lunch because it's raining out-- boo :(

    I can't stand unnecessary quotes. My old boss did that-drove me crazy. It was just a symptom of her idiocy.
  • I'm pretending to be busy!  I am the Front Desk Manager at a hotel, and while Thanksgiving day itself is usually pretty busy, the days before and after are so dead.  So, I'm perusing the Nest, looking up recipes for Christmas Eve dinner and looking forward to birthday drinks with the fam tonight!

  • I'm actually working pretty hard today. I'm at lunch now.

    We have branches in both Canada and the US, and I work in accounting. We're in inventory season, and one of my bigger branches I look after is doing their inventory tomorrow and Friday. So I'm trying to haul ass to get things cleaned up in time for them to start tomorrow. Yay.

    Oh, FFS.
  • I went and got a coffee this morning and am now researching tablets and trying to determine if I should buy one or not as a Christmas gift for DH.

    Leaving after a lunch engagement - all bosses are out. :)

  • I'm jealous of the East Coasters who are almost done with their days!  I am actually working today too.  Our control agency is working - which means deadlines deadlines deadlines.  I'm also learning a new job.  However, none of this is keeping me off the nest.  go figure.  Happy T-day!

  • I spent my morning trying to teach my client about network security and what our mission is, yet again. Then I did a bunch of stuff I can't talk about on the interwebz. This weekend I'll be working on some spreadsheets, a directive, and a brief. FML.

    I told BF I want to be a stay at home GF. He gave me the hairy eyeball and snorted. He offered to help me with my spreadsheets though. Score! 

    This is my siggy.

    Did you tell him those skills quality him to be a SAHBF? Does he have at least a master's degree?

    Alas, no. Looks like we will have to slog it out in the workplace for the foreseeable future.

  • You and your BF are so cute bowies!
