!@#$ Wednesday GMT *&^/
- Thread starter stoney
- Start date
meetings. all day. ones that are going to be awkward and uncomfortable and that my conflict-avoidant self would rather not be at. no time to prep a talk i have to give in detroit tomorrow. is it friday yet???
Trash run day. Prepping vegetable garden for winter. Slowly paving a section of trail that is muddy in spring with rocks unearthed thereby.
FTS. I want to ride.
just a wee bit damp with no chance of clearing up in the next week...
41* bet I see people in down parkas LOL short bus then evening staff meeting
Child #2 had a fever yesterday evening. when I picked him up from daycare they said he seemed to be clutching his right ear. He woke up 2 hours after going down in hysterics. We were convinced he was sick, probably with an ear infection too.
I shoved a thermometer up his rectum this morning and... no fever! so off to daycare he went, and off to work I go! Still, he obviously has some sort of cold and isn't quite himself. If the house wasn't under renovation, and I wasn't leaving in two days for Sedona, I probably would have stayed home with him today, just to give him time to relax. Shitty timing is shitty.

Quiet morning so far, have to work all day.
Snow is snowing up high, rain should be raining down here later.

Due to covering for someone sick on Monday I've ended up with the weird schedule of working from 8-10 AM, with 10 AM-5 PM research time. 3/4 of a research day. No heading home early for me, either: visiting professor from Harvard is giving an evening lecture with mandatory attendance for junior faculty, not to mention that I have to ferry her around.
Isn't that your alma mater?
Sucks, I saw it on their facebook page over the weekend. I'm still pissed about not seeing them with Mos Def erlier this year.spark one up for dr know....
The upside is that her hotel is literally across the street from the hospital campus. (The usual hotel for visiting people is in Cherry Creek, a solid 25 minutes away.) That said, since I'm walking to and from there it'll still eat away at my time that's supposed to be protected for research.
For undergrad in Computer Science, yes (like Bill Gates and Zuckerberg, only I actually got my degree). Not much overlap with that and the med school besides the name and self-important worldview.
I went for a run this morning. Gorgonzola in my scrambled eggs, and my coffee is awesome. Shit storm be a brewin' for this afternoon/tonight. Better get outside while the getting is good.

Fuck. Oddjob. I forgot about that bastard. I gotta get some more old Bond flicks for the kids. We watched Dr. No a couple weeks back... forgot how entertaining the old Bonds were.
2 of the 4 annoying meetings cancelled. which is ironic, since one of them would have entailed a discussion about cancelled meetings/absenteeism.
just had a real uncomfortable meeting with my boss. apparently others in my dept are complaining about the amount of time i'm taking off.
So I assume you took the opportunity to inquire as to whether season passes to mountain creek would qualify for the health benefit $?
If the time you're taking off is within your allowed time off (which I'm assuming it is)......who the fuck cares?
Isn't that what the family leave provided by your company is for?
It is to be accrued then lost at the end of the year after going unused.Isn't that what the family leave provided by your company is for?
yea. i'm gonna be spending my afternoon with HRIsn't that what the family leave provided by your company is for?
apparently the petty assholes i work with
Company approved family leave yes? I assume you asked the boss to tell the complainers to go fuck themselves?
Been working for me for at least 8 years now.
i'm more tactful than that. plus my boss was not so subtly trying to convince me to forfeit my remaining leave time.
I guess that's the difference between where you work, and where I work.
Fuck that, if anything sell them back your remaining leave at 150% its value.
