The thing in Madison? My boss is headed up for that with her husband. Sounds like a heck of a time.

That sounds like hell. There were of course the people who usually were not subscribers that would get mad and report you for walking on their grass.
It is interesting though how that whole don't walk across people's yards thing has degraded with time. When my SIL go to the party thing we were at on Sunday night she walked through two peoples yards to get where we were. I thought it was kind of rude but also knew that with their attitude of "it wouldn't matter to me so it isn't a big deal" that it was best to bite my tongue.
I will never set foot on grass that isn't mine unless I have permission. Even at like Target or something I won't walk across the medians if they're turf.
I guess it probably has to do with growing up with an old man who was a golf course superintendent for 30+ years.
AND ITS NOT DIRT ITS SOIL.
Dirt is what you sweep off the floor, soil is what you plant in.
also nope. More likely that when team boss gets back from maternity leave she asks person who set the meeting dates WTF they were doing picking those days when me + two other people on our side were unavailable then and tells vendor to get their **** together. Again.
this coworker is the type to go home and be back online within 5 minutes. I do not think they have a life outside of work. Like they've been annoyed at me being gone on a Friday and thus unable to work on something they wanted to finish over a weekend. Something that in no way needed to be done over a weekend. I totally get working longer hours on things that need it, but they work just to work. So when they said "well if CG is volunteering" (to my wi-fi comment), I was definitely glad boss said what she did.
This vendor was originally supposed to be done with me in like January. They are ridiculously behind and always have an excuse. We are now finally making progress but I'm still like **** this, I booked my vacation based on your own timeline projections that I then gave you triple the time for, you don't get to blame this **** on me.
I'd do a lot for boss and team boss. They are great.
nah this one is in Milwaukee. What one is here this weekend? There's a big one in August that DH has a tickets for. Needs someone to go with. Couple people have obligations and the others already have tickets.
I'll check with her. But I wanna say like Great Northern Beer Fest? I did a quick search and that's in Eagle River this weekend. Is that close to Madison?
They aren't afraid anymore. They say that a govt accountant killed you in the murder house and think you're not as scary.
CG's coworker sounds like some people I used to worth with. A lot of people that didn't understand work life balance and their *** was in the fire so clearly everyone's had to be. My favorite was sitting in a meeting at 8:30 AM and a manager complaining to the VP that he emailed so and so about something at 10:30 the night before and didn't have a response yet.
Aren't those people lovely?

I had some.people who reported.to me complain that I showed up at 9 for a couple weeks because everyone else started at 6:30 (I was the only salary person). I had to remind them that I was also overseeing 2nd shift that month meaning I walked out at 1 am.
Oh yeah, my boss was going.to reward me with a set of free tickets to do some work in new York. With a one year old I passed and no one went. I was supposed to land for two nights on 9-10-2001.
their *** isn't even in the fire, that's what makes it annoying. They are generally in an hour before me and leave an hour earlier. Totally fine. That means that sometimes I'm sending them emails after they have left for the day. Normal stuff that can totally wait til the next day. I'll see that they responding at like 6pm or 11pm and I'm like what are you doing? Go outside! Take a walk! The thing they wanted me to do when I was out was something that we had like a week to get done yet. Not pressing at all. Like they just left about 25 minutes ago. They are already back online.
And our team boss is totally not someone to be an *** about this so it isn't like this person is getting pressure from team boss to be available and working all the time.
