Me (to Service Manager): Customer X wants to delete multiple accounts. Can we trust them with the command, or should we do it for them?Service Manager (to me): DON'T YOU DARE GIVE CUSTOMER X THE COMMAND. I DON'T TRUST THEM TO NOT SCREW IT UP! Glad I asked. I relate to this harder than expected. My new job as Senior Administrative Assistant (still at the county health department) seems to be comprised of: 25% learning the personalities and communication styles of current management 25% introduction to the history of the past few decades of inter-departmental drama 50% learning to ask the right questions. That last one has saved me from unintentionally starting drama fires on several occasions and I've only been in my new position for a month.

Thoramel Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 We've been slowly pulling together everything we'd need to go kayaking on regular basis for the last few months. And with the addition of a roof carrier for the car recently we now have all the required gear we need. So today was our first day of getting out and learning to kayak. We chose a decent sized reservoir north of town that has a 10HP limit on motor boats and is mostly used by canoers, kayakers and paddle boarders. We thought it would be a good place to get familiar with our boats and it was. It was great fun and surprisingly no one fell in. Seriously, I fall into water all the time and that's usually when I'm standing on my own two feet. So today felt like an accomplishment. I'm quite sore, but super excited to do it again. I spend a lot of time around the water, but only in depths that are easily wadeable. So this has been quite liberating. We are planning a little river jaunt in the next few weeks and will hopefully be getting out on a regular basis for the rest of the season. Anyways, here's a photo from today, cheers all! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you allergic to him ? Did you luck out and they found one that is, to you, hypoallergenic ? He looks friendly/curious for a cat rather than disdainful. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a curious cat is a bit like having a toddler - with a five foot vertical leap and a box cutter that you can't take away. 2 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I have a feeling this book and I will be gooooood friends. Well, until I try to colour in the stuff right near the center, that's a bit of a pain to get to, but eh. So far though, absolutely having a blast with Mythomorphia and my Polycromos pencils! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWulfe Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 There's nothing quite like getting to finally break in a new colouring book, doubly so when you've had nine come in over the past week or so. "The Stag", from Kerby Rosanes' "Mythomorphia" after a few albums of work... Yes, I measure my hobby time in albums instead of hours Pages are 10" wide and 10" tall (25.4cm), for those wondering 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, "The Soup That Made Milwaukee Famous" just doesn't quite have the same ring as the original advertising slogan. GEM Uhm, beer soup is a real thing - roux, potato, or cheese based along with the beer. It was served as a breakfast soup for quite a long time. The very first potato soup that I ever made was a beer soup. The Auld Grump 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some kind of hand signal that historians use to identify each other or something? Cause when I see a roofer, a discussion of the politics behind a defunct canal system and how it was impacted by the railroads is not how I would start things off. I knew by a term he used - 'we can always paint it brown'. Referring to the great Boston molasses flood of 1919 - sounds like a joke, really wasn't - almost two dozen people killed as a wall of molasses moving at 30 miles per hour escaped as the tank failed, releasing two million gallons of molasses. When the tank started leaking, the guy in charge of the factory instructed them to paint the tank brown, to hide the leak. The dark tide swept a train from off its tracks and the fire department from off of its foundation. The Auld Grump 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I HOPE they didn't rebuild the tank? There is such a thing as too big to fail. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
