The Condo Meeting That Wasn't....
So, there was supposed to be a condo meeting tonight, and I never got an official notice. Granted, I knew, because one of the co-treasurers told me friday, but I never got the piece of paper ( Read more... ) -
Professional ethics, and setting a good example.
When I started this job, I was much more careful about getting to work on time, and working all the hours I was supposed to ( Read more... ) -
The joy of "cheapest bid" construction, and a rant about writing.
They've just shut down every bathroom in my building -- 16 floors, lots of classrooms and labs along with the offices -- due to a problem with the water system.

Maybe I'll walk back to the gym the long way....
