The voicemail at my work has been down for a couple of days. Even though I'm on leave for a month, I've still been checking in regularly. I got an email saying that someone royally fucked up, and since there is no voicemail, I've been calling like crazy waiting for the phone to be answered.
Answer your phone, asshole!!
I would be losing my mind. That is utter shit to leave you hanging.
I was. I finally got through and he was like 'I didn't think you would be concerned about it since you are out.'
I am always watching, I don't trust you. Just because I'm out doesn't mean you can slack off. It also doesn't give you permission to ruin my reputation. You are covering for me. Not ruining me. Moron.

Oh wow. So WTF did he call you in the first place? Sounds like you are wise to stay on top of it. He sounds like a jerk.
I know absolutely nothing about @crackhabit's IRL persona but I am now very intrigued. It's not every day you find out that you know people who are magazine cover material.
This may be a brag plant but I am posting it. I just found out that I can receive my dad's life insurance. Only problem is I need to give them the divorce decree showing he is divorced from my mom. Sounds simple enough. Except when I call my mom she has an attitude because she hates my dad. Even with him dead this shit is still going on. It's been probably 25 years since they divorced. Just find the stupid piece of paper and let me collect this money.
Oh and in the state they come from I can't file for it myself without a court order so I have to get her to file for it which will be a huge fiasco. I jokingly said I need her to find it so I can collect the money for a vacation. She returned that with I haven't been on vacation in years. Umm not my fault you decide to blow all your money on upgrading your house and buying only the best of everything.
Rant over.
Ps I was planning on using a portion of the money for a vacation for my parents.
Oooh, random thought. niq Did you ever make up Mother's Day to msniq?
I planned a nice date night about a month later. The dinner was a dud (we had been to the same restaurant twice on previous date nights, derp), and then we went to one of those wine-and-painting places, which she really liked. I finally took the pictures into a frame shop this weekend. So, maybe I halfway made up for it?

My boss emailed me 'hey, I know you are out, but thought you would want to know that employee fucked up. You might want to get in touch with douchebag cover manager'
I was trying to call the guy covering me, because he wasn't doing anything about the mistake.
He is the cool, breezy, 'it's all fine, it'll blow over' person. He wants my job, and I think he is trying to get all employees on his side, so maybe he has a chance. Not how being the boss works, asshole.
Unfortunately, he is the only one qualified to cover for me. I have to go in this afternoon to get this fixed. If I don't it will cost my office 35000 dollars. It needs to be done right. I don't trust this asshole to do it correctly.

Oh christ, I see why you were called. I'd be on it too. Good luck.
I made a serious reply-all derp today. My boss sent an email to the dev team saying he'd be at jury duty. I replied to his email saying "should I have a Dutch uncle talk with so-and-so about core hours?" So-and-so shows up at 11:10 (standup is at 11), frequently leaves at like 4, does more WFHing then a lot of people, and generally just seems to not care about shit not getting done even when he's nominally the owner.
Only I hit reply all to THE ENTIRE DEV TEAM. So so-and-so knows that I think he's a slacker, and everyone knows that I share opinions on who's pulling their weight with my boss.
A couple random thoughts of the day. My husband is now getting paid monthly and I'm not sure I'll like this. Its always been bi-monthly and I'm nervous about what this will do.
Second thought, I need so much help organizing my house and I have no one to help and no motivation to do it. The house is a mess and even more so since we have a water leak in a storage area. It seems so hopeless but its driving me crazy.
Start with the room/area/cupboard/drawer that is driving you the craziest, set a timer for 15 minutes and do as much as you can in that time. When the timer goes off either keep going or stop, whatever you feel like at the time. If you can do this every day (or every other day), you'll be done before you know it. You'll be amazed at how much you can do in 15 minutes and if your kids are old enough make it a game and get them involved.

This works so well. Sometimes when cant seem to put down my laptop, I'll tell myself 15 minutes of cleaning/housework/etc and then you can have 1 game of candycrush or 15 minutes of laptop time.
I went to the dentist this morning and I am in a crazy amount of discomfort right now. I would' call it pain/-just general ache as the novicane wanes. This does not bode well for afternoon productivity.

Ugh. The part that is really driving me nuts is my closet....it will definitely take more than 15 minutes. The other stuff I might be able to get away with though. Thanks!
