Snow Day

Microsoft closed their offices today because of the weather, but my office is open.
WTF?

I, however, am working from home today. I have two large projects that require sustained concentration to write, so I have some legitimate, sink-my-teeth-into-it work to justify my pay.

However, the schools are closed today so my Daughter is home with me, which is going to cut into my actual work. I probably won't get a full eight hours in, but it will be more than nothing, and less time cut into my rapidly disappearing PTO.

There are people who didn't get home last night due to the snow. I feel very fortunate I made it at all.

Nominated!

I just received an email telling me I have been nominated for my company's top award.

(Each division has a certain allotment of winners each year, all company winners go on a trip to Hawaii the following March).

However, because I am working from home, I can't access the central system to read the full text of the nomination, so I don't know who nominated me or why.

I don't think I'll get it. There are other people who do far more than I to contribute to the business objectives of the division -- but it sure is great to be nominated. It's not something that happens to admins very often.

Seduction Style

My first answer "The Bubble" wasn't right.
So I went back and chose the other selection on the ones which could have gone either way.
