My Dad is a blonde, blue-eyed lefty. Unfortunately I got all the dominant genes of my brown-haired, brown-eyed, right-handed mother.
 
My part of the office has an 80ish receptionist. She always comes directly to me because I sit over the wall from her, instead of sending in a work request email. I am getting a little tired of that crap, because my supervisor demands that every call be entered into the ticket tracker. So I demanded that she send the email today, even after I fixed her printer issue. Instead of sending in the work ticket, she sent an email to our entire organization that her printer does not work (230ish email accounts.)

I think she has received 10 calls and emails back from different people wondering what they can do for her.

It suddenly occurred to me this morning... it's the 20th anniversary of my mother's death today. I'm not sure what to do with that.

At first I read this as though your receptionist was so totally stuck in the 80's that she hasn't bothered to learn how to use any of the technology that has been released since. It wasn't until the second read-through that I realized you were just saying she is old.

We have a bug tracker for the internal release software I create. No one uses it. They just cruise by my office and offhandedly mention bugs.
 
I have a remote office where the manager called in and wanted to know what I was going to do about "all these computers that are blue screening all the time."

"I'll repair them on a case by case basis as soon as the first person reports an issue." Not one person sent in the correct email or even incorrect phone-call.
 
We're in the process of rolling out a massively more functional, exceptionally more up-to-date software system at my company, as our current software is criminally out-of-date (it was copyrighted in 1981). It's going to revolutionize the way we do business, but training everyone to use it (from our perpetually clueless junior buyer to our 60 and 70+ year old estimators and material take-off team members, not to mention our material handlers, who can hunt and peck at an average rate of approximately 1 key per minute) is going to be pure, unadulterated hell.
 
Getting home from work and taking a shower would have been awesome, but instead I sat down. I figured "ahh get off my feet for a minute, cool down a little, and then go hop in the shower."

Now I don't want to get up. Damn you, me.
 
I'm surprised so many want to stay in Maine. I honestly understand how the lobster feels being boiled after spending a week or so there in the summer.

Surprised sc is green. The two states I know of with the most pride in their state identity are sc and tx.
 
Ever look around your home and notice just how much stuff you have?
Today is one of those days. I don't even know where most of it came from!
 
You're moving soon. Purging is the best part of moving.
QFT. During my move across town this weekend, I accidentally purged all of my kids Fisher Price Little People but not the barn or the garage.
We were planning on sorting and purging them anyways, but not quite yet. I have a huge load of stuff to take to the dump next weekend.
