bookkeeper committee balloon vaccuum

so we met a couple days ago to hash things out about this project, and i was given the task of sending the email to the vendor to explain what we wanted. i crafted the first draft and sent it around the dept for review - boss had a couple correx, everyone else was a-okay with it. the vendor received it and anxiously requested a conference call. he immediately called into question our good judgment, challenged what we requested, proposed what he wanted, and i listened to my boss fold like a house of cards. clearly, the vendor won him over with the cool factor. you would not have known that the boss was actually the one who spearheaded the meeting to hash out the request that i emailed - not from the way he disavowed the request and by association, the group. earlier this week, he'd commented on the confusion of the vendor - how the vendor didn't understand our needs. glorioski, man, could it be b/c you are letting the vendor dictate the agenda? just saying.

today i went for a walk outside & when i returned to my desk found in my inbox an email from the vp of hr. she wanted to tell everyone not to go outside without great caution b/c a most-wanted man had escaped the FBI sting at the bus station - less than 50 yards from our building. would have been nice to have known that before i went outside, because jeez... i went the other way and missed all the action!

stopped by big lots after work and found they had big honkin bags of mary janes, and at first i was excited, but then the bags were all... sort of compressed. like, they were vacuum packed or something. i couldn't figure out if they were vacuum packed or if they were just wacked-up packs. i ended up purchasing a package, so i will be sure & let you know.

speaking of vacuums, at some point during my grade school career, the teacher had printed up on those big sheets of ruled paper some words that had 2 or more double letters in a row. balloon. bookkeeper. committee. vaccuum. vaccuum? eh? yeah, she frogged me up on spelling that word for-evah!
