Already?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Wow, is it really May 1st already? I wasn’t really paying attention until just now when I glanced at my calendar. Suddenly my daily workload got a lot heavier. I wasn’t really planning on running all the month-end stuff today, but I guess I will be now. 🙂

But before I go off to do that, a lesson learned. When you’re using all-caps to do titles on something like, say, a resume, as I do on one of the versions I have, (the one I posted yesterday) make sure you go into Tools/Options/Spelling & Grammar and uncheck the “ignore words in UPPERCASE” box. That way when you misspell one of the words in your title, Word’s spell check will actually catch it. Definitely a “duh” moment for me.

    Yesterday, as I was leaving work I noticed that one of my coworkers has a telescope in his office. Naturally, it’s pointed out the window. Two thoughts raced into my head: 1) We only work during the day. 2) Even if you were here at night, we work in a downtown, urban, hence, well-lit area….

    Maybe “toughing it out until 5” wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. In my weakened mental state I think I just agreed to do some on-the-side consulting work for an organization that I’m not all that fond of dealing with as part of my regular job! Oh well, it’s one machine, a couple of…
