Batteries not included, indeed

June 16th, 2008, 2:08 PM by Goddess

Not only is my laptop flashing the “low battery” signal to me, but this is on top of the fact that my Bullet, well, bit it this weekend. I think it was my audacity of using low-grade IKEA batteries in it.

Back to the toilet-less, coffee-less office to recharge. …



Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

After four gloriously stress- and drama-free days, today:

1. I put on high heels
2. And a skirt
3. And went into the office
4. Where there is no a/c
5. Or running water
6. Which means no coffee
7. But at least I don’t have to pee
8. ‘Cause I couldn’t flush it anyway
9. I walked in to 500 missed e-mails
10. 350 of which are actionable
11. I have two major projects due
12. Which I am going to have to do remotely
13. But I don’t know how to use the remote system
14. Nor have I bothered fixing my wireless network at home
15. But I need the software I have on this machine
16. So I will have to go in search of free Wi-Fi
17. In heels
18. And a skirt
19. But it sure beats having meetings
20. And I’ll be able to completely concentrate on my 2 projects!
