farwell, nemisis!
So. I'm having some guilt about an announcement made at work today. Quick backstory, MRN was in deep dark financial sauce. It was bad. So we went looking for an acquire-er, who could handle the very real debt. And we found one, LRRI. So now we're being acquired. They told us there would be some "condensing," because both organizations have ( Read more... ) -
Happy Thanksgiving: Sweet Potato BANE
This Thanksgiving was epic. All four brothers of Nate's house, their four SO's, my family (brother, parents), other brother's SO's mom, Nate's parents, some other people who then canceled. A party of 15. We decided to bring cranberries and a vegetable. Then on Tuesday, after the ingredients were purchased, our farm box comes: 3 pounds of ( Read more... ) -

I don't remember how I found this blog, but it's interesting. It's along the lines of nerd self-help, with an eye towards fitness. Writing style isn't exactly my thing, but I've come across a couple gem ideas that keep me coming back to it every once in a while.

BWAAAAAAAAAR! (In which I strangle the accounant with my mouse cord)
After I made painstaking efforts to submit a billing report of ultimate correctness, a monthly report is sent out to the all the directors showing less than half of the scan hours that I reported.
I send an email full of alarm. My nemis accountant is not included. The monthly report sender replies that "Nemisis can forward you the final billing ( Read more... ) -
a bit about work, a bit about vacation
Thanks for the advice and empathy! I will be taking my vitamins and I thought this was also great :
"be prepared mentally and financially for what might happen and then put it out of your mind" Thankfully, we are prepared financially. It's a huge help to not have to worry about that. Mentally is a bit trickier, but I'll be looking out for ( Read more... )
