Some days start out well....

[lithera]

So, there was this huge issue for our department that I noticed and pushed forward to get fixed. At first everyone was like, yeah sure, we'll get it fixed and I'm like.... Helllooo? Potentially millions of dollars of revenue sliding away here... and I'm saying things nothing like I normally say here, which get people to chuckle around me. (That they were surpsied by these comments show just how restrained I am at work.) These include things like, "If I don't get some movement on this soon, I'm going to get all stabby."

So, I push and I push on the people above me with important job titles to push and they come back with "Okay. We'll have in a fix by the 20th. How's that?"

My exact response was, "WHAT?!?!" which I am fairly certain could be heard on this entire side of the building. So, I kick some people and get my boss' boss to page some people and e-mail some people and we see some movement on it and they push an emergency fix through last night.

This morning my boss' boss' boss comes up to me and says, "You were brutal. You were awesome. You did me proud." and gave me a high five.

Some days start out well.

Tonight I'm going out with a friend of mine who is in from Alaska and we're going to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith with some people. Thanks for the invite, though!

That movie looks like a total blast. Please issue a full review when you are done seeing it. Angelina looks yummy!
;)

It's Angelina.... Duh.

Sure. I'll write something up tonight.

Boxing kitty!

My two favorite parts of this are getting the hi-five and having people laught at me when I used the word stabby. The hi-five is mainly because the man giving looks a lot like he should have been a beatnick but is completely ruthless in meetings.

And he's a former comic book geek. Which surprised the hell out of me.

Couldn't think of any of my other icons that would be appropriate. And, since you took this one to the mat, you get the boxing kitten.

*cheers*

So cute!

[soquili-gitli.livejournal.com]

So cute that I'll commit sacrilege to celebrate.

YAAAAAY! Both for your ass-kickingness and for seeing you tonight! I'll give you a call in a little while here to make sure we're all on the same page and everything. *beam* Yay!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Okay!

I don't expect we're too far off or anything but that's cool. I've got you a ticket, so you don't have to worry about that at all.

Now that's the way to start off a day right!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[fireballof3.livejournal.com]

Fuckin a'!!!

Of course, the head of online media and myself ambused the (now) VP of sales the other day and convinced him to make a...

ONLINE CATALOGUE.

Yeah, I know, we're a bit behind the times.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Wooohoooo!

Online?

You think that thing'll work out?

[fireballof3.livejournal.com]

Well, we have it for publishing (novels / RPGs), but not for anything else...

Idiotic to only go halfway really.

THAT, and we want to make it so it has a raw download for XML, so y'all could get the info you need on our upcoming stuff too!!!!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Heh.

Good with the stabby

[pamc.livejournal.com]

Yay!!

I can just see the gopher heads popping up all over the place as your "WHAT?!?!" resonates through the building. Yay, brutal!

It was a good bit of fun, really.
