Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)
This has been the Tuesdayist Tuesday that ever Tuesday'd.
Drove in, hit ridiculous traffic, took me close to an hour for a drive that shouldn't have been more than 20 minutes.
Got to my little parking lot, one car ahead of me, two attendants, nothing happening. I sat there for 7 minutes. Attendant had to go get change so he could give me my $2. And when I say change, I mean change. Goes to his car and gets 8 quarters.
We have this internal social media platform that's been in existence for a while but is very confusing and the user experience sucks. Well, we re-launched our intranet today and this platform is a big part so I tried to make a post in the FIFA FanZone community and include a link and for some reason it didn't work. Argh!!! Why did I even bother???
Also at work, trying to get up to date on the 4th, see that the weather has taken a turn for the worse and now we're looking at a ****ing HURRICANE for the 4th, trying to figure out several contingency plans.
Get two emails from employees in one of our close by branch office all upset and ****y that they didn't get the email asking them to volunteer for the 4th. I almost said "Sorry you're so upset but maybe it was because I've been traveling and ridiculously busy that it was just easier to email our home office with the request." JFC. Why do you email me THREE DAYS before to complain???? Idjits.
Red Sox game with Dad. Thought I told him to meet me at 5pm, like every other time. He thought it was 5:30. Finally gets to my office, we drive over to Fenway but because we're late, no more spots on the street so we have to park in the Warren Towers (BU dorm) garage. Thankfully Dad remembers his Alumni card, I forgot mine. Gets us 50% off parking. But Warren Towers garage is undergoing massive renovations and there was poor signage and many foreigners directing traffic that were unclear and rude.
Go to dinner, that was actually OK. Except that I asked about the Team USA soccer game as it was 0-0 last I had checked. Oops. Now it's 1-0.
The Red Sox are awful. They lose to the Cubs.
Get home, my internet isn't working. I had to unplug and reset my modem.
Tomorrow has to be better, right????
