If you haven't guessed already, as I have restricted my self from all other outlets, Imma gonna be blogging a lot. The benefit in this is that it is a mostly one way line of communication so I am actually getting rid of ideas from my head without adding new ones at the same time (Winner!)
Funny story of the day:
(was it today or yesterday hmmm... nevermind...) So I was sitting in our open plan office where sound travels pretty nicely and I overhearing a project manager discussing with a graduate (let's call this graduate Susan) that the proposal that they were assembling was running very close to the submission deadline and that Susan really should be hurrying up. The exact words were "See Susan, it really does take time to put these things together" (sarcasm dripping)
(Aside; It makes me highly amused when people use other people's first names in conversation to be extra demeaning and condescending - in this case I think however that Susan probably earned it)
As it happens Susan is supposed to be working on a proposal with me that has a slightly less close deadline. So first I have had the noise of the crickets from him for over a week since he was given the assignment to work with me. And then today (after major flying fecal matter and panic stations on a completely unrelated set of events in my own work) he comes to me and proceeds to badger me for 15 minutes about how we have to get the proposal information and that it must be done like yesterday and why haven't I completed it yet and I am not taking things seriously...
Subtle how he managed to make that mental leap? Yeah take it out on me that the Project Manager put you in your place Susan, real mature move buddy.
(Yes Susan is a male, I am irked, he gets em-feminine-ated)
Okay Venting over, back to my panic stations... (or lunch first perhaps)
