How does work make you feel today?

[kinch]

Work makes me feel nothing as I'm not there, again. 1.5 more weeks until I show up for negotiations.

I think I'm having a mid-life crisis.

My hair is now again long enough to touch the tip of my nose. I have cut parts of it. It is jagged and at times short and at times long. I look like a short haired guy with long hairs. Ha.

I have a wedding in Columbus next weekend before I return to work. I am going to look like a freak in an expensive suit. Ah, the good old days.

 

[TooTall]

meh.

 

[FrancisSoyer]

Again.

Hey dumby, learn how to spell. It's laboratory, not labatory

 

[Apache]

Frustration reigns supreme today.

 

[scarletmike]

I spent my time at the office today reading a dissertation, and it was glorious.

No, really, that's pretty much all I did. I'm in the lull between program registration and a fundraising campaign where I am perpetually bored.

 

[buxfan4life]

Bored. I am in that lull period of my month, which makes for very long days with not much to do.

 

[buckeyebri]

Alas, I am bored as well.....

 

[Mac]

Thank god it's Friday.

 

[BayBuck]

Having a staff Halloween party today--I'm setting the over/under on folks willing to dress up (ten days early) at 1.5.

So, I get a call from one of the guys I work with to see if I can be available for a presentation meeting next Tuesday. Funny thing is, I sent everyone I work with that counts on me for presentation meetings an email about two weeks ago telling them days that I would not be available through Thanksgiving for meetings, this guy included. Well, guess what Tuesday is one of those days....

Is it wrong to just say what part of my fucking email about days I am not available didn't you fucking understand......

 

[buxfan4life]

Server is down. No one can really do anything. Ugh, i hate idle time at work.

This is where you need the advice of a slimy lawyer on language.

Obviously, we can't write offensive, or rather obviously offensive, comments in our briefs. So you do it like this:


Embedded is the e-mail I sent to you on [date]. The embedded e-mail details which days I will be unavailable for the week of [week].

Curiously, you requested my presence on one of the days where I detailed my absence. I intended to be clear in the aforementioned e-mail. I will not be available for your presentation. Should you still be confused about which days I will be unavailable, please contact me at [whatever] or consult a calendar while referencing the attached e-mail.

Warm regards,

buckeyebri

Or

Are we to believe that my e-mails do not enter and leave company network servers...or that my emails passing thru our servers are slower than anywhere else on the face of the earth?

Well, I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on your inbox. Were these magic e-mail eating Outlook programs? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

You can get all wordy like those above, or simply reply "Nope, I can't make it that day. Refer to my schedule in the email dated [date of email]" and be done with it.
