Standing Up, Pt. 2

Thanks for the words of encouragement on my post yesterday. I received an email back from my supervisor saying "We have made other arrangements."

Fine.

I feel nervous and rotten, like I've "let down the side" and there will be a price to pay, but I'm trying to breathe through that.

It was a negotiation. I made an offer, they found a cheaper way to go. End of story. I'll be at work Thursday, Friday, making the job as finished as possible for the guy whose picking it up on the weekend.

(related annoyance: the custom font of the Nazi client — literally, at one point in their history — doesn't pdf right, making proofs a nightmare).

Accidental Broadcasting

I'm at home, on the phone with the tech support company our company uses, trying to get remote access to the server set up so I can work at home sometimes.

The tech has remotely logged in and is seeing my desktop. While I wait through innumberable holds (like this one) while she consults FAQs and manuals, I have to remind myself not to randomly surf to porn, lest some engorged member suddenly fill her screen, too.
