Not exactly showing Thanksgiving Day gratitude for having a job! She probably won't last long. "How you do anything is how you do everything."

My oh my! I just heard more things about this woman. Apparently she takes 2 hour lunches when the big boss is not in. She comes into work 9:30, sometimes 10 (work officially starts at 9, but some people have flexible schedules) Her position includes doing murder phone duty on Thursdays from 8:30 to 4:00. Dolly who is in charge of it just told me that when she was training her, she didn't take notes and got a call on her cell phone which she answered and talked on a bit before saying to the caller "I'm in a meeting". And when she gave her an intake form and said these are the important information you need to get. Dolly handed her a yellow highlighter. She said "Do you have a pink highlighter?"

So, for the day after Thanksgiving, my organization has a skeleton crew. If you have off, you get paid. If you work, you get a day off at another time of your choosing (within 60 days) So, in one of the departments on my floor, this new woman started. She was the only one in her department. She said how she was told that she could also have taken the day off if she wanted to. At about 10 (we start at 9) she says to me and another person working "You won't tell anyone if I leave right?" I thought she was joking, but later when I brought the mail over to her, she was gone. So in effect she is getting 2 paid days off.
I'm thinking that she might not last too long. Further on this new co-worker. In the previous office she worked in (same organization, different city) she had her own office rather than a cubicle. She is just an administrative assistant both there and here. So, she has been complaining about the draft and actually left work early today due to a sore throat. Well, now it appears that she is getting an office. Not quite a private one, but still an office. Right now there are three interns working there. Not sure if all three interns are being moved or just one. I don't say this about many people, heck about most people, but I do not trust this woman at all.

Oh my. How does this woman have so much clout in the organization? Sounds like something is very fishy.

OK. Co-worker again. She has been in her "office" for a couple of months now.
Here a couple of us rotate mail duty. This consists of bringing mail down to have postage put on it (done twice a day) and then pick up any mail for the floor (3 departments) and pass it out. Office co-worker handles the mail for her department, so all the mail for her department goes to her. She sent out this email:
Good morning everyone,
I have a another mailbox located right across from the printer in case my door happens to be closed feel free to drop my mail in there as well either one works fine.
Thanks,
Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

Got thrown under the bus by a classmate. We made a decision together and announced it to the people we work with.Then she reverses her stand in public (though she does apologize publicly for changing her mind unilaterally, despite us having discussed otherwise earlier). Damage has been done though.

16 hour days constantly are starting to wear on my old ass. Got in last night at 2am and woke at 6am. Haven't gotten to do any of the things I needed to do, today's Sunday, agri supply is closed and the lawnmower don't go without a new drive belt. Time for my 3 month diabetes doctor stop, and instead of a quiet, calm, relaxing day, gonna be up to my armpits in shite!
grrr.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Sorry to hear that, Rick. It's tough having a busy workweek, and trying to do all the chores on Sunday...

I love swimming, but hate how it messes up with my ears. I have to take this medication to control earwax build up. It works wonderfully, but sometimes I have to wait a few hours for it to work. During that time my ear feels uncomfortably full, and my hearing is impaired

This has been bothering me for a long time, and even talking about it with Rhino hasn't seemed to help abate this (I'm sorry Rhino, it's not you, it's me) Lash didn't deserve to die without at least having the comfort of enjoying a new Legion comic before it happened. Neither did Dev.

It often annoys me when I see something that I know Lash would really have enjoyed that he's not around to see it. I have the thought at least several times a week that "If he were still here, we'd be talking about this..."
That's always going to be the case no matter when we depart, however. There's always going to be some experience that death cheats us out of. That's the nature of the beast.
Then again, maybe there's a whole slew of super-groovy Legion comics waiting for us in the afterlife (written by Ed Hamilton and other departed Legion creators), and Lash is sitting there thinking "Too bad EDE isn't here to enjoy these!"
