As I just replied to Peak_in_Darien, I'm feeling even less well today, and if I continue downhill I might stay home, tomorrow. However, tomorrow is our monthly meeting in Augusta, and I might have mentioned that the Augusta airport happens to have a pretty good Thai restaurant in the same building (where a couple of months ago I sat back to back with one of our Senators at the next table). So, I'm weighing riding in the car and being warm against staying home and being cold, as our heat turns down so low during the day. Hm.
Today was fun at work - I got to rip a bunch of books out of the cabinet and shred them! :) I had asked the Coordinator to do that three months ago, because it was full of stuff we weren't going to use, but today the Director came in and said that anything unnecessary needed to be shredded TODAY. Not just for us, but everyone in the office - four huge bags of shredded paper had been taken from the machine before I left, and there was plenty more to do. Coordinator entered as Skipper and I were tossing the pages out of the binders with Great Relish and asked, "What are you getting rid of?" in a rather plaintive voice, and I said, "Just stuff that's outdated," in, I am afraid, a sort of "don't worry your little head about it" voice. ;)
We also had to assign an online course to everyone in the state, and three minutes after we did that the Coordinator came back in and said, "Don't assign that to anyone who's already done it in the past year." Too late. And I'm sure almost everyone must have done it, it's a class that comes up every year, anyway. Getting around to running a report on who didn't need the class and giving them credit for it somehow didn't manage to happen before the end of the day, we had too much else to do. What a screwed up organization, one has to laugh or you'd just get annoyed. As one of my ex-coworkers used to say "Wax on, wax off," which was her way of saying "The left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing."
