Friday, thank you for your service. You did well today. Come back and see us next week, okay?

Friday!

tom — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:29:03 +0000

At last, Friday has come to join us. A week of long days, a few technical failures, mixed with the drear of North American late fall. But Friday means the weekend is near, and after this week, the sight is a welcome one. So, tell us about your Friday!

We’re Off Today

It’s Lich-King day! We’re off today, Thursday is promoted henceforth to Friday.

Wednesday, Thems Be The Haps.

As the assistant coach of my high school swimming taught us to say, “Thems Be The Haps.” And so Wednesday is. Neither good nor bad, Wednesday has just captured the essence of being, like a good Buddhist. So, we will leave Wednesday to continue along their journey, untouched by management’s cruel hand.

Wednesday’s Arrived.

Oh sweet hump day, your mere presence cheers me. Once I’m through lunch today, the week is half over, and the best parts remain. Please don’t make me dwell on this week’s struggles and difficulties, and instead let’s talk about what’s kicking ass this week. How about the story about the now-defunct spammer colo? That’s pretty awesome, yeah? Alright, give Wednesday a review:

Tuesday’s All Good!

Tuesday, you did good work today. You ditched Monday’s technical issues, and you seemed to treat pretty much everyone with respect, which is to be lauded. So, we’ll see you back next week, Tuesday, and be sure to grab a lollipop from the front desk as you go home tonight. Here’s your reviews:

Sabre in IT wrote, “Traffic was good, the coffee was hot, my work load is not overwhelming, I have happy hour plans, and scored an invite to the DC101 Downtown Countdown (VIP all the way, baybee!)

I got nothin’ but love for you, Tuesday!”

Matt in the Art department said, “Tuesday is the worst day of my week but this Tuesday hasn’t been too bad”

So yeah, we’ll see you again soon, Tuesday. Be well.

Tell Us About Tuesday

tom — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:23:11 +0000

I wanted yesterday to work out. I really did. But, between other appointments and server difficulties, it just didn’t happen. Yeah, sorry about that. My bad. But Tuesday’s here, and I can watch this post hit the server. That means I can watch as this goes up and shepherd this little poll through the day. So, let’s get this show on the road, yeah?

Tell us about your Tuesday. Don’t be afraid to comment to give us all the juicy details. Good or bad.

Monday had… technical difficulties.

tom — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:38:20 +0000

I wish I could say that, today, everything was working just as expected. Sadly, the Polls plugin I’m using to run the site didn’t publish the right poll, so it’s impossible to separate this Monday with the last Monday that ran. I have no idea quite why the Polls plugin didn’t display today’s proper poll, but I will chalk it up to inexperience, a schedule with a few other obligations, and I’ll work to fix it.

So, Monday, you get off easy. Technical malfeasance has kept you from justice. Work another day!

Welcome Back, Everyone!

It’s been a rough fall for a lot of the staff at Circadian Diurnal Supply, and we’re hopeful that this recent furlough has cleared your head, and given you some perspective. We were going through days like Vincent Chase goes through Starlets, and it just wasn’t tenable. So, let’s put on our overalls, and get back into the groove of things with a nice, simple, Fall Monday. Polls will close around 5pm Eastern, and we’ll know just how Monday fared around then.

On Furlough

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Circadian Diurnal Supply is suspending daily operations to concentrate on…

Who am I kidding.

I don’t have time right now. And, it seems, we’d pretty much like to fire every day that comes down the pike. So, assume that if you want to fire today, go ahead and fire it. It’s been a pretty crappy year for a lot of folks that I know, and that’s influencing the polls heavily, meaning that there’s not a lot to look up toward in the comments or in the polls.

So, I’m taking it down for a bit, hoping folks’ lives will look up a bit and we can fire fewer and fewer days.

Thanks,
