Well, it's midweek, isn't it? That was fast. Perhaps because I've just been so DARN busy...

We have a staff meeting today. Entire staff. Our staff is mostly women--out of around 70 people, only six of us are men. That has many, many implications. For instance, I will rarely, if ever have to wait to use the bathroom at work. On the other hand, if I stink up that area of the building, they'll know it's me, because I'm the only man who works on our floor. So that's dangerous.

Our workplace tends to be pretty damned emotional, too. Women tend to wear their hearts on their sleeve, which is not a bad thing, it just is how the world works. And then, they sometimes complain about this "PMS" stuff that I know nothing about, nor do I want to. I think that means "leave me alone." That's what I'VE taken it to mean, anyway.

So. The staff meeting. I got off on a tangent there, didn't I? Oh well... it happens to the best of writers. I'm getting to show off the new LCD projector and laptop to the staff today, and then, I'm going to have the arduous task of teaching people who don't know the difference between Excel and Word (don't even think I'm kidding) how to use PowerPoint. So that will be more fun that I wanted to have, but hey... such is life, right?

One woman at work who really, really is excited we have the new technology once gave an entire presentation on an overhead projector with the slides upside down. When we told her they were upside down, she adjusted the screen. At that point, we pretty much gave up on the visual portion of her presentation, and just dealt with the audio, which was about as goofy as you'd imagine. I am loathe to send her out there with a projector that costs three grand, but hey... that's life, right? No skin off MY ass if she breaks it, and she's got a rich husband, so I'm sure she'll donate a new one, right?

RIGHT?!
