Mildly Stressful Day At Work
May. 20th, 2015 11:06 pm-->My paycheck came late this week -- and without a holiday to excuse it, either. I'm in the process of joining the 21st century and switching to direct deposit so I don't have to deal with this annoyance much longer.
-->The scanners downstairs have taken to moving at the speed of molasses on a flat plain. The main problem is, I need them to be faster -- but I also need them to create readable images. And sometimes that takes fiddling with the scanner a few times, so. . .yeah. It's a rock and a hard place.
-->Have a new mini-project now that involves looking over a huge spreadsheet and creating another spreadsheet from it with lots of data and figuring out things and let me just say I'm VERY glad copy-paste exists. Trying to type all those formulas out by hand would be intolerable.
Add in that I'm pretty sure I'm PMSing, and yeah, something of a grumpy day. The fact that it's cooler than it ought to be doesn't help. I sure hope they're right about a warm-up over the weekend. . .
Eh, never mind. Wasn't all bad -- I got a small brownie as a treat from a coworker who brought some in, and I managed to get in some writing despite everything (not a lot, but a couple of paragraphs of editing at least), so that's good. And now I really need to hit the sheets -- night all!
