Hello again.

[willow_25]

24-hours on, 24-hours off.  That seemed like the way to do things.

After blogathon, I slept a whopping 3 1/2 hours.  Yeah, I was not happy.  Then, a friend I rarely see stopped by and kept me awake, and I stopped minding so much, because it was good to see her.  

After a couple of hours we hopped on the Bus (because Metro was all crazy) and went to

mymagritte's house briefly.  Then we wandered over to where another friend is house-sitting until she moves to Boston next week.  Then, we went to DC Tribal Cafe, to watch tribal belly dancing and eat vegetarian food.  At that point, I was running on caffeine and carbs. The show perked me up, though, and I managed to get home alone under my own steam.  Passed out around 10:30.  Woke up still tired.  But, I am awake enough to do my job, which is about the best I could hope for today.

No further excitement, except...FIVE DAYS UNTIL CAROL LEAVES!!!!!  I can hardly believe it.  It's just so wonderful.  Although, there was a brief low point this morning when we noticed she was wearing capris. She tried to explain how, because she's wearing wide-leg pants on her scrawny chicken legs they magically count as a skirt, where they wouldn't for people with fat legs; and so it's okay for her to wear capri pants, in violation of the dress code...Because, on her, they are a skirt.

There is no way I can adequately express to you how glad I am I will no longer be working with this woman.

Amen, sistah.

Carol sounds like a loon! Capris are capris whether one is skinny or fat. And if she has chicken legs she REALLY shouldn't be wearing wide legged ones, cause, euw, unflattering! But hey... if she stays at a desk? You don't have to look. :P

This is mostly annoying because I've had an ongoing battle with her on this topic. I have a couple of pairs of very nice linen capri pants, wide-ish in the legs. Certainly not skin tight, anyway. But I have large thighs, so the pants are less-than-baggy around the tops of my legs. She yelled at me when I wore them, then has the nerve to wear pretty much the same thing, and find odd reasons why it's okay for HER and not for anyone else.

I can't even take her picture and send it to the head of HR, because what would they do, fire her with 4 days left?

no, you're right - but she sounds like a hypocrite and weirdo. are other people in the office also glad to be shut of her?

a) the managing partner refused to throw her a going away party

b) a group of us are talking about going for drinks on Friday after she's gone, to celebrate the fact that she won't be in Monday...or ever again!

I have a few co-workers like that. Party on!
