What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today? - Page 30

Never cross in front of a driver-occupied vehicle without eye contact from said driver.

I was intent on getting through the intersection (it's easily a 10-15% time penalty on my commute if I make that light or get stopped) and was going to gamble with someone waiting to make a right. I DID think better of it, but by the time I did I couldn't come to a stop before the intersection, so I had to try to turn off. But I just had too much speed, plus I hit the slope of the corner ramp, so my wheel just went perpendicular and I got dumped.

Sounds pretty Humerus to me.

Maybe a little better, but more importantly, no worse. Decided not to ride today due to feeling the slightest of twinges of a strained muscle on one of my legs riding home last night. Wasn't even enough to bother me during the ride, but I definitely felt it stiffen up afterwards and still feel it this morning, so no point in pushing my luck. But otherwise I'm really barely dinged. Not even a bruise anywhere (I do not bruise easily - except when giving blood).

While getting gas this morning I though hmm let me see if my paycheck is in. It's the first one of the year and they'd sent out an email yesterday reminding people that deductions would be different etc.

So I log in on my phone. No deposit. Uh what. Ok maybe it just hasn't updated yet or on mobile or something.

Come into work and log on, still nothing. Panic. Start trying to figure out who the heck does payroll. We're a remote office, 2 people, and they've done a lot of changes in corporate so I have no idea who's left or who to contact.

So I IM a colleague in our main office and she gives me a name. I say thanks I didn't get paid (or maybe someone's trying to tell me something). Then I look up the payroll persons contact info and start typing an email.

Then I get an IM from the colleague - "It's Thursday"

doh - we get paid on Fridays. Oops

Morrigoon · 01-13-2011, 11:31 AM

Yes, but it FEELS like a Friday, so they should pay up

cirquelover · 01-13-2011, 12:03 PM

I wish it was Friday too!

Betty · 01-13-2011, 02:44 PM

That's it. Let's vote on it.

Alex · 01-13-2011, 03:16 PM

I've scheduled the vote. To allow people time to organize there thoughts the vote will take place in 10 hours. The universe will then have no more than 2 hours to fulfill the decision.

Yeah, I'm going to have to override your schedule, mmkay. It's already Friday which means tomorrow we should all just sleep in.
