My morning was harried – Mr. Russell kept giving me all these piddling projects to do. But by lunchtime I had them all finished and the bulk of my afternoon has been blissfully quiet. Of course, Mr. Russell is notorious for coming to me at 4:30 p.m. with a new pile of work to be done, so I don’t hold out hope that I’ll be chilling out for the remainder of the day.
Tomorrow we head to Denis’ sister’s place in Long Island to celebrate Christmas with her family. Just because our decorations are down doesn’t mean the holiday spirit is completely gone!
In other news, I just gave a quick Powerpoint tutorial to our receptionist – she’s been struggling the bulk of the afternoon typing up some slides as a practice for a presentation that one of our licensing people wants to give. As I was showing her, another admin was standing nearby and was also blown away by the stuff I was showing the receptionist (master slide, slide formats, tab function – truly the BASICS). My thought? WHO DOES THE PRESENTATIONS AROUND HERE? I’m serious – I thought that the admin standing there knew PPT pretty well, turns out she’s been doing all of her presentations BY HAND all these years instead of letting PPT do the work for her…
Oh, and I put a picture of my new hair color over on the moblog. My cubicle looks vast and barren. I need to find out if I can put art on the wall…
Update at 4:02 p.m.: Nice! Mr. Russell just left for the day! YAY!
