feels like a field trip
kelly | May 22, 2006
for reasons not thoroughly articulated until i was walking out the door, day 1 of the new job felt like a field trip. i can’t really even elaborate on what that feels like, just that’s how i felt all day. the reasons, identified at the end of the “trip” are that 1) i [...]
i don’t ever have to go back there
kelly | May 18, 2006
i think if i say it enough it will finally sink in, but i’ve been saying it so often since i left yesterday at 4:30 that it’s practically a mantra. i had a brief moment of clarity last night, that almost brought me to my knees, but it faded.
i don’t ever have to [...]
one more day
kelly | May 16, 2006
8ish hours to go at work, starting in about 8ish hours. i want them to be overwith. i want to be done, and because of that, i can’t sleep. it’s like my insomnia before flying, only have no packing or planning to do in the waning hours to keep me busy.
i also have sneaky [...]

me: so about how much of your day do you spend in meetings?
she: a lot. too much, but i expect that to get better
me (skeptically): what does “a lot” mean?
she: like…maybe…2 of every 8 hours.
me: in my world, “a lot” means about 6 of 8. …or “my normal work day”

in my company’s most recent cost cutting efforts, mail will be delivered to a single place on our floor (each floor has about 120 employees), and sorted by sets of 5 rows (40 people). not by a single row (8 people), and certainly not by individual address (1 people). also, if i want to mail [...]
seriously
kelly | December 11, 2005
i think scott adams has my office bugged, or maybe one of my cohorts in california. the first 1/2 of this comic has been my life over the past 3-4 weeks, only it ends with “yeah, well, suck it up.”
seriously, we’re supposed to be done by now, and the client is insisting we [...]
buzz-phrase of the day

“experience sensitive to cost” – a customer who does not spend much money with the company (or only has services with a very small overhead) should expect their customer service to suck it.
