That’ll be all

Steven – I hope you appreciate the post title because you are going to be the only one who gets the reference!

Why is it that whenever I already have a short day planned at work (left at 2:00 today to make it to an appointment) that I get the most *requests? Seriously – I was approached and/or contacted today by multiple people, mutiple times, about three old projects of mine that are CLOSED. Over. Done with. I want to be helpful, but I am going to be gone all next week in New York City and potentially taking on a new detail for a project located there. Why does this have to happen now?! I do not have time for this…

Do you ever feel like everything gets busy at work when you are trying to **leave?

I am ready for a new kind of work crazy. I hope this New York thing turns in to real work, so I can do something different for awhile. 

Otherwise, ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news, I am such a sexy beast that the owner of the restaurant Katie and I ate in for lunch gave me free baklava. 

Just kidding – about the sexy beast part. He did give me free baklava, but because he recognized me from ordering catering there before. Nom. 

I was sad when I left lunch, because I was having so much fun chatting with Katie I didn’t want it to end. But then I remembered she lives super close to me. Boo yah!

*crazy stupid
**really, GTFO***

      I actually went to my fave Middle Eastern place, way over on Franklin!

      Hope you feel better soon!

    Mmmm, falafel. And baklava. Moving to Greektown might not be the BEST plan I ever had….

    Anyway, on to the point of your post. Yes, it always seems like when I’m in a hurry to leave or the one day I stay home from work or leave early the sh*t hits the fan. Seriously, where are these people when I’m sitting around twiddling my thumbs??

    • kilax says:

      You can try all of the falafel places and rate them for me on a gdoc!!! 🙂

      That is the same question I have. Also though, I wonder if they would even bother me if I were working from home. It’s people who approach me at my desk but will never call or email.

    Jusy say no to extra work requests!! (I know, easier said than done.) I hate it when people(especially those that can’t manage their time and workload well) make their priorities my priorities.

    • kilax says:

      I actually am saying no to a lot of the requests. Luckily I have had support in that too! But it’s still annoying. Ha ha ha 🙂

  4. I love our super cheesy picture! SO excited for the freebies!!! haha I hope Steven enjoys it!

    Work always gets super busy when I’m trying to leave, or when I’m planning to take a day off – never fails!

    and why does it seem like things always happen all at once, instead of being nicely spread out so I can enjoy them one by one? Today is going to be a stress-fest (mostly because I am going to be interviewed for the radio – I’ll let you know how it goes) but also because there is a whole bunch of other stuff going on… *sigh*

    When I worked at the nursing home it seemed like ALL of the call lights popped up at 2:55 (my shift ended at 3). By the we were hiding out pretending we didn’t see them. 😛
