yendiThis is normally one of my favorite work days of the year, as I can catch up on email and ongoing projects, and there are usually only a few other folks in the office.
Not today. I had to generate various data for a report that was declared urgent and sprung at the last minute, and which involved various Sisyphisian tasks. Nothing I did could be automated (at least, not without generating more work than I was doing otherwise), none of it will ever be repeated, and at least half of what we were asked was impossible. Add data in at least three locations that were suspect, along with tons of other data that appeared suspect but wasn't (but had to be double checked), and today was Not Fun. I didn't leave the building at all today, and barely left my cube, even.
(So, how come there's no Thanksgiving-themed horror flicks? Silent Night, Deadly Turkey, or whatnot?)
I am getting the fuck out of here now.

Date: 2005-11-23 09:26 pm (UTC)People may only want to laugh at/about Thanksgiving. I've had Planes, Trains and Automobiles running through my head all day:
Michael McKean's Cop: You sure this vehicle is safe for highway travel? You have no windshield...
John Candy: Yes, that's true, officer.
McKean: You have no functioning gauges...
Candy: No sir, not a one. However the radio still works!
There could be a horror film -- from the turkey's point of view. (Oh, but that's too close to Chicken Run.
