I just found out in this morning's standup meeting, meeting?'s last day is tomorrow! Holy moley I thought this day would never come! I thought for *SURE* he was going to be hired on!

No..no.. DK said "while it was abrupt we are treading water while we wait for this release.

Maybe a team lunch tomorrow for his going away?

I made a major party foul earlier this week. At work I made a comment about this post on one of the forums I read. It was a funny joke, but later on one of my lunch gang asked me what forum I was on and where the post was at. I guess he wanted to read it. I shot the forum name back then had the sinking feeling of "oh shit, what did I just do".

That particular forum has a link to this blog in my comment signature. After a quick check - yup that guy from work had been on my blog and probably read my general grousing on life.

Initially this wouldn't be an issue but with how over sensitive some people at work can be they might mistake healthy grousing with some sort of insidious plot. This can easily become a mountain from a mole hill.

So... Monday I will have to talk with this guy and inform him to keep this blog off the work radar. Not mentioning it to anyone and so forth. If he has already spread the word or for what ever reason says 'no' then I'll have to axe the blog to block any potential work related conflicts over the benign content.

*sigh*

I'm done with version one of my wedding ceremony, and it's time to go snag some comics for the week.

Work took an ugly turn today. DK was all huff and puff about battening down the hatches to get these bugs done.

No vacation.
Talk of 24 hour coverage.
No sign (or word) form Jefe (though the grapevine has her showing up the first week or so of August.. which would make it a 1.5 month vacation).
Mandatory overtime & weekends.

Hmm.

Falloutboy seems very stressed

Things.. things the magical nondescript noun.
The more you eat the more you frown.
...
Ah.. yeah.. my poetry muse just left.

Wow... today has just been a trying day at work. Maybe not for me, but for DK for sure.
