Corsari

Hey, we bought a new card game called Corsari. It is fun. We'll bring it for Christmas.

Work was tiring this week. I fully realize I'll get no sympathy since it is over & only lasted 3 days, but trust me it was tiring. The highlight was a meeting today where a colleague said that I had used our model to design an attainment strategy w/o regard to whatever was possible "as if I were all-powerful" and I made wizard motions like I was blowing up cities (w/ sound effects)by simply putting spells on them. Like I said it was a long week.

We had mandatory EEO training this week which didn't help. I thought they were talking about mandatory ELO training which wouldn't have been so bad. (Man, I use to like the ELO when I was 12. And I can still tolerate them, which is pretty impressive.) Alas, this was EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity). Who knows why it was mandatory for staff? The one lasting memory I think I'll get out of it was that the instructor said it was not harassment to accidentally bump into someone in the hall while rounding a corner, but if you had a lookout who told you when a potential bumpee was coming & then you purposefully rounded the corner at the right time to cause a collision, that would be harassment. Honest. They actually said that. Who is this 2nd person, who provides the intel on when to round the corner. What is his/her motivation? And, if you are the harassing type, how much harassment can you get in a collision? And isn't this a whole lot of trouble just to effect? Sadly, it was 2.5 hours of my life that is not coming back.
