Hello My Friends,
I would say TGIF, but really...this is my crazy week and I will be working through the weekend. Yuck. It is that end of the fiscal year time and the folks I support are supposed to get their bonus calculations/roll-ups to me by today. It's a lot. And, I can't trust those people. I received a few roll-ups yesterday where (for example, not actual figures) there was available funding of $10,000 and submitted bonus requests totaled $12,500. Do people not look at what they submit? Apparently not...it's the same every year.
Then I have to look at calculations for higher ups and see that some (many) of them will receive bonus payments well in excess of my annual salary. I really can't or shouldn't spend much time on that. Out of my control, same old, same old, etc., etc. It's frustrating though as you can well imagine.
I did manage to cook dinner yesterday and it was somewhat of a failure - LOL
Crispy tofu with shallots, bell pepper, garlic and brocolli with an Asian-inspired sauce. I thought it was ok - could have used a bit more flavor. Fletcher left all of the tofu on his plate! Not a recipe I will be keeping. Oh well, I give Fletch bonus points for at least being willing to try it.
Time for me to get back to work - emails are flying in one after another. I will take a break from work tomorrow to meet up with Dee for some sipping, chatting and knitting. Also a lunch celebration (someone is having a birthday...).
Have a great weekend!
