I've been attempting to avoid actual work at work this week. Monday we had our IT meeting, and looked at some of the stats from the new ticket-logging software. Bossman and CoworkerJ haven't been entering their tasks, but I think I'd be in the lead anyway. Both in number of calls and hours spent on the calls. Overworked and underpaid. Whee.

And of course, coworkerR is off to a conference in Chicago today and tomorrow, and he was #2 - I'm handling all his calls. I miss him. Mostly because he gets the piddly shit calls: "How do I do a find in Excel?" Shit you not - this is an admin assistant asking this, who's supposed to do the same sort of thing *daily*.

So avoidance isn't exactly working.

Yesterday, the fares up and back were $97. Then this morning up was $97 and back was $118. Now both are $118!
*grumph*

And that's not including the books I shall bring to fortify myself with on the day-long journey. (And knitting, but my hands'll be tired by Oregon.)

Pity I can't afford the sleeper car. They get much more affordable (much in the way cruise ships are, I'm given to understand) if you can share them. And interestingly enough, the family sleepers (4 adults, 2 kids) were less expensive than the doubles(2 adults). Ah well. At least I don't have to drive all that way down. I-5, once you hit California? Ick.

And I just realized I wrote up this post this morning about work and avoidance, and it just *finds* you, man... and I got called in the middle of it and never posted.
