Personal update: There really isn't much of one. Other than I've been enjoying Survivor SA (South Africa), the series finale of Better Call Saul and the first episode of She-Hulk! That last one would have upset and confused pre-teen me - but pre-teen me upsets and confuses me, and I used to be him! So he's going to have to deal with that!!
Work update: We went back to the office for 3 days. Then I got COVID and was working from home, and pretty much sending the team back home mid-day because the internet was getting worse the more people who were showing up in the office. This came to a head with a virtual meeting with the CFO where he was in the offfice and everyone else was remote. His connection quit 4 times - and I used that as an opportunity to talk about how we couldn't get anything done in the office. So, until the new building is ready (estimated late September) we are working remote!!!
Bad news in that, the new CFO REALLY understands how valuable we are - and so wants us close to him in the new office. GROAN. The only real hope I have is him understanding that it's going to add an HOUR to my bus commute. (it's only about 10 minutes down the road from the current office, but because of the bus routes...) Our team is also being moved closer to him in the org chart, moving over to the Finance team. For those keeping score, that's our third department since I've been supervisor! :)
Speaking of - tomorrow is the official 6 month mark from when I became "acting supervisor" (the official date when my boss stopped being full time and became MY employee for a few months). I've managed to hire two people (one great. the other "solid") Another interview on Wednesday but honestly not expecting to hire her, but who knows - she may be better than she is on paper. I've also managed to pull back my work hours from over 70 a week to over 60 a week. Well, this week was the first time I've done that in months... but I'm HOPING that's the new trend.

I've missed coming in here on a regular basis to talk to you!! How are YOU doing? I know that me talking about work is COMPLETELY BORING so thanks for just scrolling by it. :)

Desree (dmousey) wanted me to tell you that she sends her love. She is back in the hospital, and when she gets out may be losing her house. I've asked for her Paypal info to see if we can help her out. (I even looked to see if I had it from any of the special mini seasons. But I don't seem to...)
Sorry to bring things back down at the end of this post. :) But hey, she sends her love!! That's more love than most of your damn hippies deserve! ;) (It's been far too long since I've called all of you a bunch of damn hippies. But seriously, get off my lawn!! ;) )
