On the whole, today wasn’t bad; I’m beginning to fear that this might become a trend.

And I was also right about something: Karen, our acting manager, was “officially” announced as our permanent manager. I wish her well. Honestly. I just wish that the recent “events” had been handled differently. I did hear that when she was telling the staff about her promotion that she made a couple of comments that could be tabled under the heading of “revisionist history.” But, that’s neither here nor there.

Otherwise, work was pretty run-of-the-mill. And it was my last day to supervise for a while… at least, I think it is. As a 204-B, we can never be quite sure…

Here’s the day’s only blemish that I can recall: I had to deal with ANOTHER episode of someone crossing my personal DEW Line (see my entry from 03 July 2001 @ 2:56pm for details on that). *grrr* I was wearing a baseball cap at work today – one of the benefits of working Fridays/weekends is getting to dress down. Anyway… I was wearing it backwards (sorry, Mom) and had just finished forcing a workgroup to leave, when one of the DCOs felt that he needed to grab and wiggle the brim of my cap and then make a very unnecessary comment. It was all that I could do NOT to snap him off a little something. After he left, I had to excuse myself from the floor. I went and talked to two of our techs; one of them told me that he’d had a similar kind of experience a few years ago. The difference – he went off on the guy; he didn’t touch him, but he scared the bejeezus out of him. *sigh* A few minutes later, I was better. I found Bruce (Ops Manager) and explained the situation to him; he understood. The rest of the night was cake.

The drive home was uneventful other than trying to find SOMETHING on the radio to listen to. It was almost L&O time when I got home, so I watched it, Brimstone, and DS9.

Now… I think that it’s about time to call it a night. I feel a couple of chapters of Hugger Mugger, the next book in the Spenser series, coming on.

Until next time.

Peace.
