Deal: $2 AmazonMP3 Credit for Free →
Yep. It’s free. And it’s for we Tumblr-folk. If you have an Amazon account, follow the link and enter the code ‘HITUMBLR’. That’s it.
I get nothing from this deal. There’s no link magic that gives me a fraction of a cent every time it’s clicked a la Superman II. I just think it’s a good thing. Plus, if you’re an Android user like me,...

Just Led a Presentation
And by ‘led’, I mean ‘did my best not to seem completely disinterested in the content while other people spoke’.
I’d like today to be over now.

Semantics
You say: “Final Presentation Run Through”
I Think: “A live walk through of the presentation for pacing, finalized scripting with (hopefully) minor tweaks, clear understanding of the presenters’ responsibilities and hand-offs, review of content to ensure coverage in event of presenter’s illness, and discussion at the end of the run through of any areas to be smoothed out or revised.”

It's Not A Lie
Today is someone’s birthday in my office.
As a result, I had cake after lunch.
Cake makes everything better. And much more sugary.
I’m going to log on to a conference call and fight off a food coma.

I’ve only waited 18 months and watched as Walking Dead was fiscally knee capped for this.

At the Theater.
Statement: The arm of my seat is easily removable, to the point of falling off.
Question: Do I remove it as a show souvenier?

I’d rather cruise into Friday well rested, not stupid-eyed and lethargic.

Woot Local Deal - $10 Amazon.com giftcard for $5 →
I’m not looking to spam the intarwubs with deals, but this offer is half off a $10 gift card. I buy a fair bit of things from Amazon (including almost all my mp3’s), and thought this was a good deal.

truthful tuesday
glitterbubbles:
I am lacking motivation. entirely.
xoxoxo
I was going to post the same basic thought.
I got nothin’ today. Work’s happening. And it will continue to happen until Unfortunate O’Clock tonight, due to the West Coast constituency with whom I must meet. Not sure I have the cognitive capacity to care.

Client: Hi there, I just have a few technical questions. Me: I can help you with those. Client: Oh no, honey, don’t worry. I don’t ask women technical questions. Is there a guy around who could help me?” Me: No.
Client: I’ll call back when there’s a guy around.
Likely this person had a really complex and well informed question, such as “How many internets does our...

Clock Management
Just finished my last meeting of the day (unless there are other projects wherein I’m announced project lead in absentia). The last 30 minutes of the day is complete garbage time.
Can I run a QB kneel and run out the clock, head to the locker room early?
Anyone with me?

What's Better?
A) A decent bonus
or
B) A decent raise
While the answer is invariably C) “At least you have a job to go along with your whiny middle management middle class problems”, I can’t help being a little upset that I got one and not the other, especially after getting a pretty damn good performance review.
I don’t ask for a lot. I’m usually just happy with what I get. ...

The Lady Of The House: Rules. →
ladyofthehouse:
I don’t text well. Mr. Of The House and his friend text all the time like teenage girls. I’m puzzled by this. A, how much can they *possibly* have to say to one another involving fart jokes, the defiling of M’s mother, and Taco Bell (apparently quite a lot); B, why the hell can’t they just pick…
I text like a boss. Actually, I text most often when I’m doing other...

Dear WebEx Meeting Participant
I can see that you’re the one who put the call on hold. I can hear your fucking hold music, too. We all can. At this point, I’ve heard enough of it that I can get my guitar and play the melody. The chord progression is G-C-A-C, with an F as a turn before it repeats on loop. On perpetual loop. Like it’s taunting my intent at productivity.
Either hang up, or join us. Or die in a...
