cblj_backupI researched the heir of a large paper-plate-and-cup empire today. Oh, job.
It was a long day. I had a doctor's appointment this morning (just a checkup, I'm all good, but they did take a lot of blood) and when I got to work around ten, suddenly there were three VERY VITAL PROJECTS that were due at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm respectively. I have documented my ass off. Alongside the Cup Magnate I had a rush job due on the USA Network's marketing department, of all things, a schedule for a visiting consultant to compile, and an org chart to fact-check and beautify. People just kept saying, "Sam, can you rush this?" and like the fool I am, I kept saying "Yep!"
Add into that the fact that the Dell repairman showed up at work to repair my laptop (HEY LOOK MY DOWN KEY WORKS AGAIN) and it was a bit busy. So I am still massively behind on email and comments.
On the other hand, nobody's asked me to capture and/or feed a pterodactyl, so in all, still coming out in the plus column.
There is a teacher's strike going on in Chicago right now, and my mother is freaking the fuck out. She worried I wouldn't get to work this morning, and worried I couldn't get home. I don't think she remembers my school days very clearly. I feel I have little to fear from teachers. Besides, I spent three years in a union where the entire union leadership was at one point indicted for embezzlement.
It is time to sleep, possibly curled up with my shiny newly-repaired laptop in my arms.
