O good. He needs some serious stability. Poor little guy. How is he behaving in school?

Mrs A.D. doesn't say much. I get the feeling he's barely manageable in class, but out of control out of it.

I could tell you some truly sickening things about some of her previous students, but I won't.. too sad...

Damn. Talk about a f-up family. :bleh: Poor kid and poor teachers too.

The Queen just showed up... And you can see the anxiety level in the building go up 50%... :bleh:

I'm really hoping that our new engineering manager will provide the necessary buffer zone...

He seems like a nice enough guy... And he likes Clapton and Cream. :victory:

I'm working a 14 hour day today. :pout: Four more hours and I can finally go home and sleep...

14 hours? How come? PTA meeting?

We have grade 8 parents night (of prospective students). We always put up displays and answer questions. Get numbers is verra important to run our program. It just sucks that this night fell on the day we had our Fieldtrip. I'm dead tired.

I see.

we'll it is the west coast data center, they're backup for the east coast data center... customer traffic, EDI, etc...

I see. =T

so we had a meeting today w/ the head honchos from my new corp office. I can already feel the CBS (Corporate Bovine Scatism to the uninitiated) flowing from the division COO.

The benefits are pretty damn good, the company is stable, publically traded, mentioned in Forbes numerous times in the last 4 years... but I dont think i can work the galley manning an oar to get this beast of a company moving. The only thing missing is the guy beating the drums... it's quiet, BS certificates of acheivement all over everyone's walls, no one talks, and it's like working in a funeral parlor.

monster.com here I come.

oh yeah, the meeting ran 1.5 hrs OVER, i left late and we aren't getting OT for the time spent... and i'm already short on time for our current project that's due next week, that got dumped on us yesterday.

Management. :shakehead:

Are you working with a guy name Dilbert? :beaten:

nope no Dilbert, but we got a "Wally" AND a "Milton" in the office. :rofl:
