Here, there, nowhere...

Writer, environmentalist, and nerd.

Maybe this was a bad idea.
He asked if I could move his birthday dinner reservation from tomorrow at 7:30 to tonight and I had to change it to 7:00...

This afternoon we're playing "Can you figure out the acronym without looking it up online?"

I would very much like for my CEO to get a hobby.

I cannot begin to describe to you the look of discomfort on the young man at Target's face as he scanned the lingerie I was returning this morning.

//considers adding spiced rum to iced coffee

Once again...
Having one of those mornings where nothing terribly bad has happened, but there have been a bunch of minor annoyances, and I would seriously like to nope right out of today, but I can't nope out because there are deadlines, and I am a project manager, and... well.

No more meetings on my calendar until Tuesday afternoon.

New hires, please stop clicking on every tile in the single sign-on app. You probably don't need to access all these applications.

You're auto-provisioning into my app and I'm tired of going in and manually deactivating accounts for people like you.

Thank you,
Aimes, your [redacted] software admin

I got to drive! And now I REALLY want to go buy another old Mustang with a manual transmission...
When you both love cooler weather, Mustangs, and convertibles...

I wonder if he'll let me drive the car again.

No wonder women used to have other women around to help them get dressed...

No zombies.

I guess I have to go ahead and have these last two meetings of the day.

We created the ppt deck for you. I even automated it. You just click a link in SFDC and pick the buyer's use case. The software fills in all the blanks. It's easy!

Instead, you used an old deck. And changed the colors on graphics because (apparently) you don't like our branding.

I don't like you.

Update: Still not enjoying this.
Stopped working in the yard because something climbed up my pants leg and bit my right leg multiple times. I'm not enjoying the pain.
Gonna go work in the yard to stay busy and ignore the fact that neither of my kids has started their chores and they need to leave for their father's house at 3:45.

I'm going to the beach in a couple of weeks. Is it too early to start a countdown?

I love that I've been sending weekly status reports showing what the marketing teams have/haven't completed, but only after they were copied on the report that went to the CEO yesterday did they take me seriously. Now they're scrambling.

Yes, I'm new in this role. No, you should not ignore me.

In my new role, I get notifications from IT when I need to disable a user account because an employee is leaving the company. I just got a notification of an "involuntary offboarding" of one of my favorite sales guys in my old line of business. Now I'm sad.

Went to dinner last night and when they brought out our bourbons, the whiskey glasses had a little bit of ice and a lot of bourbon. I need to find out who was bartending and make sure I go back on nights they're working.

Us? Yeah, just laying around watching Ford vs. Ferrari clips, because he knows what a girl likes. (GT40s, that's what this girl likes.)

When he's been out of town four days, and has just driven home from Charlotte, and he texts you an hour before your date, and you think he might be canceling because he's tired, but he's actually ahead of schedule and wants to come by 30 minutes earlier....

Yay!

Driving in my neighborhood, I saw a guy walking a dachshund and smoking a cigarette. The man had taken his shirt off exposing his tramp stamp and barbed wire bicep tattoo.

This would not seem strange in my hometown in rural Georgia, but in my neighborhood in Decatur...

It's not even rush hour and I've sat through three cycles of this light.

Having a mild anxiety attack after accepting a meeting invitation from my VP that has me meeting with the CEO/President and the EVP that oversees all our lines of business to discuss my highest profile project.

My boss: *Sends my summary status report to C-Suite and line of business marketing and sales leaders.

Me: *Sees the COO (our boss) is not included.

Me, in Teams: I don't see [redacted] on the distro for the summary report.

My boss: Oh Shit!
