amatyultareA slow(ish) Friday at work. Le sigh.
I've answered more work emails this week than anyone should ever have to in that amount of time (since I wasn't in on Friday OR Monday, and apparently no one has the time to answer them in my absence, it was hella backed up), I've made an executive decision; I finished all the emails we've received up 'til now and closed the program. Anyone who emails us at 7 PM EST on a Friday before a (in the U.S., anyway) holiday weekend deserves to wait until Tuesday anyway.
Also, since I realized that my 'gate email will be deactivated eventually, and my current personal email is hard for people to remember, I made a new one. It's my full first name dot my last name at Hotmail. If you don't know/don't remember the spelling of my name, comment with your email address and I will email you (comments are screened).
Two and a half hours until my shift ends. Hmm.
P.S. Random quote from the tech support guys (on a different contract) who sit behind me with which I wholeheartedly agree:
Tech guy 1: Whenever I tell people we're in Maine, they always start going on about lobster.
Tech guy 2: I know, they're always *falsetto* "Ooh, you must eat lobster ALL THE TIME!"
Tech guy 1: I always want to say, 'Yep, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They grow on trees around here!'
Tech guy 2: *falsetto* "The lobster there must be so good!" *normal voice* Seriously? It's the same ocean along the entire eastern seaboard.
