As you might have guessed by some of my comments in the blogs, I'm the person at work who says in a public setting what other people wish they'd said.

We had a going away party for my former boss, and I volunteered to tell a story or two before we hit the cake (others did too, it wasn't just me). I told a couple and then told the most amazing fact about her - that her first job fresh out of college was working in a women's prison. And then my line: "and that skill set was probably the most directly transferable for this place."

Sigh. Its a blessing, its a curse. If I ever leave, my co workers are probably going to have a roast.

In the PTO/403B news, I got an apology from the HR person, our vacay time will be rolled over for 2007. HR fought the COO, and the COO won. Now to work on whether the limit is 15% of your salary or $15,000. From the change-your-403B-stuff form, it looks like the latter. Again with the innocent letter. Not nice when you have to train HR.

Very busy today. The pledges and money are pouring in.

Savings log - $3 tip box, transferred $7.04 from t-bill interest into my ING account.
Spending log - 2$ coffee and milk, $10 lunch (hmmm, hot tempura fat), 10$ dinner. DH and I went lazy today.
