While I was out.

Work was utter chaos. They ran things for my application over and over again.

The connection to the core accounting system was severed while I was gone because the file transmissions were so unreliable.

From the way they described it today, it appears they totally ignored a large portion of what I told them about before I left. They'd describe something that was a problem and I'd say it was in Stuart's notes, then another and I'd say it was in Stuart's notes. (etc.)

At Christmas my seestor gave me a little flip sign. It is full of pithy phrases for the workplace. This week's phrase is "I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter".
