Day: September 30, 2004

I need sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Posted on September 30, 2004 By admin

People keep asking me if I'm nervous about the fact that Katy will be here in a bit more than 24 hours. Honestly, I'm more bombed than anything else. Between my cold, mad dashes of housecleaning, and the fact that – like an idiot – I've been reading till the wee hours of the morning, I'm dead on my feet.

The job situation is making me anxious… I need to give notice to my boss tomorrow. The McGill people want me to start on the 16th. The project I'm working on is behind schedule – a situation exacerbated by the fact I'm not at my best right now. I'm leaving for 2 weeks vacation. So, in essence, I will inform my boss at lunch tomorrow that I will no longer be working for him in 5 hours. The timing sucks, but there's nothing I can do about it. McGill needs me ASAP, and with their bureaucracy, I need to start at the beginning of a pay cycle, so it's on the 16th, or two weeks later, and that's not something I want. At the same time, I feel torn about the situation. I'd have loved to have more time to do a calm switch-over, but that's not in the cards. The consolation I have is that it's not like I'm burning all bridges and cutting off any contact I have with my coworkers.


Edit: Crap! I just found out I need to send 3 reference letters instead of 2! I need to find someone else to ask, fast! Shiat!

It's 10pm. Is your windows machine patched up to date?

Seriously, if it's not, go to the windows update site and install the latest fixes to plug up the sieve that is windows (but I recommend against installing XP SP2). If you're running MS Office, go to the office update site and get even more updates.

Right now, I'm downloading 100MB of service packs for Office 2003. This is beyond ridiculous.

Quote of the day

Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.
--(Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay)
