Here are some things I did today:

-- Read the latest Chronicle of Philanthropy cover to cover
-- Distilled six articles into bullet points
-- Read two back issues of Chicago Magazine
-- Skimmed a forty-page report on giving techniques for two nonexistent bar graphs
-- Found substitute bar graphs
-- Tracked down five slackers and made them tell me what sandwiches they wanted
-- Placed a twenty-person catering order for Friday (flirted the caterer into agreeing to my chosen delivery slot)
-- Shepherded half my team to get their low-cost flu shots in the basement
-- Made a macro about search terms using a squirrel and spammed the team with it

I think I've either written or read all the words today. I mean, in what other job do you use the words "muffaletta", "injection", "boolean", and "philanthropy" all in the course of seven hours?

Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but I'm definitely earning my salary on days like today.

Mmmmm, muffaletta. And also, is "squirrel" a tech term or did you really involve a squirrel in some way? If it's the latter...kewl!

Oh, no, it was an actual squirrel:

Eeeee! It's Disco!Squirrel. ::adores:: Is this macro available for viewing? (I was originally thinking you meant one of those F8 macro command things, and I couldn't figure out how the frilly heck you managed to involve a squirrel. ::facepalm::)

Oh LOL!

I'd rather not, the macro involves using the name of the company :)

Totally understandable.
