Had a bit of a stress yesterday. The kid sent B a squishable to take with her to the hospital and when I messaged the kid to say thank you, I got no response. No biggie since it was a little after 9am her time and figured she was working. But then later, still no response. Now they still have fires near them. So much stressing and calling with no answer until I finally reached out to bf. He confirmed they were okay but still no response from kid. Turns out something screwy happened with her phone and she had been not sending messages since monday to anyone. Quick reboot and oh look, many replies. Didn't need that stress. But in the end all is good.
Had a meeting with a new employee yesterday. They were hired by the VP on the consulting side to basically be a recruiter to match consultants with projects. Yeah, it was a 5 minute conversation. She's explaining all this "and I want to touch base with people to make sure they have enough hours, need more, blah blah blah." I said that's great, but I'm not a consultant. I am an FTE who does training related stuff only. No consulting projects. "Oh. So we will probably never talk?" Exactly. Bye bye. Easiest work call ever. She sounded annoyed but sorry if you weren't told not everyone is a consultant by your boss. Just going down the employee list is a useless thing. She also started talking about how she wants to organize some virtual stuff and I'm like that's nice, I will never attend because of time difference, schedule issues, and the simple fact I won't do video. "Oh." Yep. Shot down again. Bye bye for real this time.
I also worked on the new class. Getting stumped on a bit of code I hope to figure out today. Trying to get some R code working and its a matter of figuring out the right packages. Stupid R.
B left around 1. Got to the hotel around 5. Sent multiple pictures from the concert. They got back to the hotel around midnight and should be home midday today. Sounds like they had a good time. I am very happy about that. B deserved a mental break from things. Tomorrow is the big day and will be full of anxiety. Fun.
