The copier/printer for this floor is just right outside my office. They just installed a new one and are having an impromptu training session in the hallway right outside my door. What a good excuse to shut my office door and do absolutely nothing until 4:30.
The copier is right next to my desk. My favorite thing in the world is when my boss is yelling at me from her office (we loud in nola) and then someone decides to print right then. Or when I am on the phone dealing with distribution or whatnot and the printer starts printing. #loveit #sarcasm
I'm pretty sure since I'm the new guy they just gave me the worst office. Worst office is better than no office, though.

I was actually moved here. The layout of the office was really dumb when I first started working here. We are in the French Quarter, which means we are basically in an old apartment. When I first got here, the editor was in the first room right in front the main entrance, so he would be the first person you would see, then we had like a print/fax/junk area (where I am now). When we moved things around, since I am not only the production manager, circulation and distribution manager, BUT also the office manager it made sense that I was the first person they see when they walk in the door. The printer, which is a monstrosity can't move, hence me next to it. I secretly hate it.
I haven't worked on a Friday since last May Just wanted to complain for a moment.
I am in the same boat, lady. I could have taken today off per my normal schedule, but it would have cost me another day vacation.
Our managers had a discussion with corporate regarding the missed hours this week/state of emergency situation. Corporate has agreed to let us make up the missed hours through the end of March (originally, we would have had to make up all missed hours by next Friday or take PTO). I could have taken today off, but that would have just been 10 more hours I would have to make up, on top of the 20 I already have to make up. So here I am.

There's that at least. I was talking to one of my neighbors who was dead set on making it in yesterday because otherwise she would have just had to take a zero on her paycheck. As disappointed as I am by having to take vacation days, at least I got paid.

I had this conversation with a three year old at work yesterday...
3: Patting my arm "Miss Kathy, you're getting old." Me: Ummm, thanks? Me: What makes you say I'm getting old? 3: Because you are, silly! I'm getting old too. So that means we can be getting old together!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I hire 22 year olds pretty frequently. I'm always feeling old.
Jeez, how old are all you guys? How many grandkids you got?
I only have one kid (16) and no grandkids. But I have a few grand-niece/nephews... I am not sure how many (2 or 3 she keeps popping out babies), my sister who is 8 years older than me is the grandmother and we aren't that close. Oh and I am not that old, jeez!
Haha yeah I work with high school/college students. Some kids who are just starting their college search are born in 2000. I am seeing that year more and more. Tears happen.

100% expected to make it to the office today regardless of the weather at the same time we receive a strongly worded email stating we should only take out work vehicles if it's "absolutely necessary". Makes sense.

So basically "fuck all y'all, but please don't risk denting our precious fenders"?

We got a new system for our ads and the work flow. Basically they rolled it out the day after everyone had a conference call training. It took a total of one week for the new system to roll out, which is stupid fast. Production is still learning the system just like we are and it has HUGE glitches. I have been busting my ass all day trying to get shit done for our current product and I have officially hit my productivity wall. I am all the sudden, tired, cranky and if I have to look at the system again today, might shoot someone. Please make it not 49 degrees that feels like 42 and time to go home already.

Dallas Texas froze over yesterday and today. Made for an exciting commute that I only had to see and not participate in. New job starts Monday, wish me luck guys :-)
It was -9 when I went to work this morning. To make things more interesting, I was in a job function that required going in and out of trailers on the docks much of the day.
I avoided the west facing side of the building until late morning, when it gone above zero outside and maybe into the 30s inside.
