memed kicking and screaming

work!  so how is work going, ESC?

WELL!  work is going just fine, thanks for asking!  Umm…OK, so things can get a little boring.  REALLY boring, actually.  Especially when both managers are gone on vacation, and only a couple people in the department realize that they can give us stuff to do.  Anything.  Just give us anything to do.  IT’S ALLOWED.  IT’S WHY WE’RE HERE!  One woman had us go through some files and toss out old stuff, and was so GRATEFUL that she brought us bagels and cream cheese this morning.  Thanks!  Unneccesary, but thanks!  It got so boring yesterday that we actually played hangman.  HANGMAN!  This is not 6th grade study hall!

Saturday we drove to scenic Gadsden Alabama (a good halfway point) to meet my in-laws for lunch.  After cramming our craws with seafood, we walked around a nearby mall and chatted and caught up.  It was a lovely afternoon, but we were pretty exhausted by the end of the day. More »« Less

dressed for success

Work is getting busier, thank goodness!  Late yesterday we had a fairly big project dropped on us, and today added one priority (which we completed) and two this-will-be-coming-at-you-soon-so-watch-out warnings of projects.  I’m liking having an office mate to work with.  We’re sharing projects, and it’s making the work go faster, AND I’m learning more.  She has more experience with the terminology and data than I do, so she can translate a lot of things for me.  Today we had a big discussion over some data we were looking over.  I couldn’t get over it…WHERE ARE THE ERROR BARS?  WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THEY ONLY TESTED 3 SAMPLES FROM EACH TIMEPOINT??  HOW DO YOU GET STATS FROM THAT???
