dchenesIt's not nice to bite people. And it's a short week, so I shouldn't want to bite people. But the Drama Llama is getting on my last nerve because I can't stop hearing him, even if I'm not listening.
And my boss is out of the office doing semi-work-related things, and since I'm technically her spare brain, I'm getting asked all sorts of questions I can't answer because I am not her actual brain. And I get to interview somebody she doesn't want to interview. She got out of it by not being here. I can't get out of it and I don't want to interview this person either.
And my assistant is now on medical leave until at least December and so we're getting a temp, and I'm suddenly in charge of that, and also in charge of answering "Any news from S?" from four or five different people every week. No, there isn't any news, she's on leave and I'm not expecting any news until after Thanksgiving at least.
And my phone has been stuck in 3G for the last month. It was perfectly happy in LTE when I bought it a couple of months ago, once I finally got the SIM card problem sorted. But suddenly it's stuck in 3G and I've tried airplane mode, I've tried removing and replacing the SIM card, I've tried restoring the network settings, I've tried messing around with the cellular settings, and it's still stuck in 3G. Which only really matters when it wants to update anything, but it seems to always want to update something, and it's frustrating that it takes ages.
HOWEVER. I am still going to Bonaire in January, and I'm going to the dive shop Halloween party tomorrow, and that means I can ask all of my questions about what gear I need and when I'm allowed to arrive at the resort and all like that there so I can start thinking about flights. And I can pick up my official open water diver certification card, which has my picture on the back and everything.
And I am still enjoying my silly tote bag, which fits everything I want in it now that I've added a pencil case to its permanent inventory.
And I got a letter that says I've been here for so long I can cash out up to 10 days of vacation into a TDA. Which I probably should, because I never use up all my vacation. But I think I'll only do five days.
And today is Friday, so I don't have to come back here and Deal With Everything for a couple of days.
