There were Executroids, and they were boring. I don't think I have EVER been to a class that started on time, in this case about 40 minutes late. That particular training room used to be chilly, but when they "fixed" the A/C, it went up to room temp---not cold, not overly warm, just sort of neutral "I'm going to fall asleep now" kind of temp. They were showing us vids, and I damn near nodded off.

They passed around clothes and stuff, boring stuff, most of them totally not worth their prices, IMO. There was the usual Q&A, boring. There was no food, no drinks, no candy, no loot---we didn't even get our own style booklets because they didn't bring enough. In short, I don't like them any better than I did before the training, as in, I don't like them. Period.

In even more uninspiring news, our CEO has posted that there's a wage freeze because of the economy. I would've been up for a raise next month; nice timing, tightwad. We had yet another potential partner come in to tour today...they're on a par with Trendicrap. In fact, Trendicrap has cited them as direct competition. If they come to us, this should be interesting!

Seven more days! When I get home from work next Thursday night, I'll have six consecutive days off in a row to look forward to, four of them with GK in town. (And on my first day back, I have LeSnobbi training. They're generous, I'm looking forward to that!) I hope the weather is nice---she's been freezing her ass of in Massachusetts all winter.

from the world of work: There was a posting today for a management-level position in our department...the word on the floor is that He-Boss is departing. C-Boss will be filling his slot, meaning they'll be looking for a replacement for her. She-Boss remains where she is. HA! He barely lasted through one holiday (I can't remember the last time I saw him on the floor, now that I think of it. Certainly not since the new year!), after all his shit about his previous experience and how freakin' fabulous he was. This probably won't have any impact on me, but I'm still smirking. He lasted LESS than a year, what a putz.

Several major fools crossed my path today; I'm happy enough about the Red Hot Rumor that I'm not even going to vent about them. (Although the fool who was trying to return a pair of "barely worn!" Butch Boots that he'd had since 2005 was at least entertaining!)

Oh, and lest I forget, the Executroids have cancelled for this Friday. I'm sure they'll reschedule, but I'll worry about that when it happens.
