Pru I'm so sorry. I know at times my workspace is a complete disaster but I know where everything is - any movement and chaos ensues. And doule boo on your suitemates for helping.

I see all your ducks are in a row. Oh! and they have a chance to win it all at home this Wednesday. Why yes. I expect you are a happy BTD.

Biggest mistake ever was to fire that puck off at Scotty. Alfredsson has a giant target on his back now. Not just for the Ducks - but for the entire league. No one likes a dirty player. And Scott is respected throughout the league as being an amazing player.

Well, it's actually taxpayer money that was wasted - so perhaps wendybeth should write a letter. I'm about to head into work now. The situation has not resolved, so I'm going to get some of my things to make clear the "will leave permanently" threat. In fact, once our HR person told my co-worker that marketing could NOT put their fan on my table, my co-worker brought in a fan of her own because, now it's not marketing's fans. And apparently because it wasn't a stick fan she stacked up a bunch of empty boxes and taped the fan to the top, where it promptly fell down once the table was bumped. (Fortunately, I wasn't there to get conked on the head.) The co-worker is being belligerent and keeps replacing the fan when the HR person left, because "those poor people across the hall" are hot.

Some more dirt has surfaced - the coworker who moved my stuff wants the manager of the fan-owning unit to hire her to work for them. So this is all about her future prospects. And my big boss lady is apparently pissed, because it's interfering with her "team-building" efforts to have team members sabotaging the team in order to curry favor with outsiders.

This whole spine thing is quite refreshing. I feel really bad-ass. It probably helped that I listened to "Start Wearing Purple" before going in yesterday. Got the blood going. I'll probably do the same today.

Go Pru!

Sooooo, is it better to have so many options that is seems overwhelming or is it better to have only a few options and be frustrated?

wow. that could be an entire thread all its own.

nice goin Pru. even better than the claw hammer thing.

I'd go for overwhelmed rather than frustrated.

Overwhelmed because you have solutions for the overwhelmed feeling, but nothing will fix the frustration of too few.

but too few will urge you on to find more options. having too many options may create a need to abandon ship on all of them
