I’m waiting for e-mails. The Intranet and HR people are driving me insane; Intranet won’t give me a timeline until they see the finished product, and HR won’t give me a finished product until they see a timeline. There is nothing fun about being a middle-man, but at least it’s sort of interesting, trying to negoitate with both groups. Also, the Intranet people need to get over themselves. If I could be bothered to learn how to PDF things I could do that job. I mean, they still use HTML, ffs.
Anyway, I was very very bad today and went to the caf for lunch. Whatever, I’m sick of soup. I got fries (bad) and a Pepsi (very very bad). So much for my kicking the habit. But you know, it doesn’t really taste all that great. AND I noticed this morning that my teeth have actually gotten whiter in the 2 1/2 weeks since I quit drinking it. So, I’m going to finish the bottle and then I’ll be fine. It’s like smoking, you know; you can quit but still have a drag every now and then and it won’t kill you (well, it might, but whatever).
I’m also waiting on LDD to get back to me with a translation. Because they thought the text they gave me was “too wordy”. Because, you know, all of 30 people look at my weekly messages, and we’d hate for those people to have to read a little. I doubt they’ll click the link anyway.
Ok, so HR is pissed now. They want to know why the Intranet team can’t just post half now and then the other half later. Honestly, I can’t see why they can’t do that either. In fact, I think it would be easier for them to work in chunks, so as to be less rushed come the end of March. The Intranet people have never been anything but polite and accomodating to me, so I hate to have to bitch them out, but this really needs to be done, and I can’t see what else they’re doing that would possibly take up so much of their time.
I’m still waiting on the translation from LDD. I’m giving them until 2pm, and then after that I’m sending it out. Also, I think certain people on the Intranet team are avoiding my calls. Good times.
