dragonlady7R. didn't come in today-- too hung over, apparently. I'd feel worse for her calling in sick with "nausea" except that I know for a fact she was out to at least two different bars for drinks and dinner and had a wild night out planned when she left here yesterday. So I highly doubt it's just that the stomach bug she had last week came back.
Am planning on speaking to O. M., at least, not directly about the IM thing, but at least about the weird passive-aggressive lunch breaks thing. (Also I put in a query to the advice column panel I write for. Which is unsatisfying, but will probably get published, so, har. We'll see who reads the newspaper, eh?)
But of course, all is haywire, because we got in this morning to find that our phone system is completely down and our Internet was totally down as well. Both have just recently come back, but I spent a frantically bored morning sitting at the reception desk attempting to read an awful book on Keynesian economics and torture in Iraq. Oh Christ. I wanted to put a pen through my eye. And I was out late last night too, but not drinking that hard. So I'm sleepy as hell. Oy.
I guess the phones are back up-- so I'll go up front and see what's what. Oy. Nothing makes you crave the sweet release of death quite so much as being trapped between an Internetless terminal, a mute switchboard, and a really awful book. (I learned more about electroshock therapy and unbridled lassaiz-faire economy than I ever wanted to know.)
