Getting around here late. I did not want to get up this morning. My neck is sore; must have slept wrong. My eyes are burning. I thought maybe the receptionist was burning a cinnamon candle, but it's the usual one she burns, so that's not it. I'm just not feeling the love for today.

I've got a case of the Ho-hum Tuesdays too. I know the reason behind it though. I'm totally wiped-out tired physically and mentally, dizzy, slightly nauseous, and dropping things like crazy. And no, before anyone says those doomed words, I'm not pregnant, exactly the opposite. It's been years since I've felt this bad without being actually sick. I still wish I could've stayed home on the couch watching movies all day.
Morning all. I too am having one of those days. Definitely would have been good for staying home. I have a headache and we have rain. That a double stay home reason if I ever heard one.
It is interesting how I put an IT ticket in on Aug 2nd and asked them to upload the file by Sept 1st and it didn't get done. It was so beyond ignored. It is part one of a bigger project. I can't do part two until they create my 352 local tax codes. And with everything else going on, it could take me four to six weeks to get this done. I think there are about 10,000 PA jobs that I need to go through and assigned a local tax code. In the interest of time (and sanity), I will dump it all onto a spreadsheet and send the file back to IT for upload. That must be done by 12/31. I figured I better give them a month's lead time. I happened to have a meeting last Tuesday on another matter and when we were finished I brought it up with the IT girl. She said she would look into it for me and escalate it. We discussed it again today and she's going to move it along. She actually asked me my drop dead date, to which I said Sept 1st. It is sad because it is not like any code needs to be written to get this done. And they wonder why I'm a little crazy.

I definately would have liked to stay home today and watch movies. I've been wanting to re-watch some oldies from the back of our movie cabinet. Maybe Breakfast at Tiffanys or the first couple Planet of the Apes.
I found the cinnamon candle culprit -- it's the OFFICE PEEPER. I don't know if it will offend him if I ask him to put it out because it causes my eyes to burn; it did the receptionist last year.

Our boys lost their game last night 12-6, but they played good, and they played hard. They have nothing to feel bad about. In the "class" department, our team was the clear winner. Their coach was out on the field screaming at his kids every time our boys made a good chunk of yardage and it was obvious that their kids were coached to play dirty. I just don't understand that at the 5th & 6th grade levels.
It's a nice temperature day here, but quite windy. Maybe I should go fly a kite.?.?
If I had more energy today, I would want to go fly my kite. I've wanted to break that thing out forever, but haven't really got the chance. Maybe I'll get lucky tomorrow. But then I also have to find it.
And I have before. I've told them to go away and come back later. It doesn't usually work out so well.
I'm trying to fight a NY audit, I'm finishing up a NJ audit (she'll be back Friday for some followup), I'm starting another NY audit (we won't discuss my anger of this) and I have had preliminary talks with OH for an audit. I don't want to do it anymore. These have interfered with the other things I had planned for this year. My "goals" have severely suffered.

Good day, all. Count me into the "I don't wanna" club. It has been an effort to get anything done today.
My day started out with the latest battle in the raging 5 month long war to get the corporate expense reporting system to recognize my corporate credit card. I've now called the support line 3 times, entered 2 trouble tickets and 1 web request for assistance, and had a manager call twice. The latest, as of this morning, is that I should send an e-mail to the support team requesting that they actually look at my web request. Oddly, it took only 24 hours for my hotline calls to be ignored, and per the e-mail I received when the trouble tickets were opened 3 business days to ignore those... the automated response to sending that e-mail informed me that this will be summarily dismissed in 5 business days.
On the up side, I now have access to the corporate wireless network in the office so I can use my new laptop I've had for 2 months now. It only took half a day for it to decide to grant me internet access so I can get my company e-mail... but hey... step in the right direction. I was just in the last 15 minutes able to connect to the printers too!
Happily, this day is almost over. I do have a pointless conference call in about 50 minutes, so that will round out my day nicely.
Hope everyone is having a nice, mellow one.
