Back To the Grindstone

I'm back! After a fairly uneventful weekend that was nevertheless filled with good conversation and the joy of seeing friends I see only too rarely. And good sushi, I should add. Always at least one good sushi blow-out with this crowd. :)

This morning I was met with: 186 junk emails, two whiny emails, three wilting plants, and a totally trashed-out office. (Looks like Buehler really did motivate to start packing and moving, now that our deadline is only four days away.) I came back from my weekend in a really good mood. Tired, but very cheerful. All of this is harshing my vibe fast.

The whiny emails were, of course, from Bernie. One was a list of things he believes desperately need to be done today (none of which I will be doing since I have actual work to do for clients and bookkeeping that needs to be done) and the other was complaints about how much time the database guy is spending on the database project. Which comes under the heading of "not my problem" because I didn't do the negotiations with the guy, I didn't lay out how many hours we were willing to pay him for, and I had no control over at least 75% of the time he spent because he was doing things on Bernie's orders.

Among the things I discovered this morning is the news that Bernie changed the scheduled move from Tuesday morning to Tuesday evening, which suggests he's decided that my participation and/or presence are not required. I hope he has fun but I can't say I'm sorry to be off the hook for that one.

How was your weekend?

Tense. Tenure's in the balance, and the smart money's going the other way.

Ouch. I'll be sending the good vibes. You've earned it!
