Meeting escape

I just got out of a meeting because it turns out I wasn't supposed to be there at all. Emoji back and forth dance The person handling the invites just picked the first person off the list with my first name, and rather than the guy from the legal team, I got the invite. So now I'm back at my desk and not listening to something I didn't care about at all.

I do have another meeting in forty-five minutes, though, and I had a five-hour-long all-department meeting yesterday, so I haven't entirely won. The upcoming meeting is about another database suite to replace the current one which replaced the previous one, so maybe the problems that I've run into using our current software will be solved. Wouldn't that be nice? Hey, a Democrat won an Alabama senatorial election, so anything is possible.

I did well in my yearly review. We had it a month early because it's due in early January and I'm going to be gone the first week of January to coincide with the [personal profile] schoolpsychnerd's time off between semesters at school. That means that I got it out of the way before my vacation and can go into my two weeks off without anything weighing down on my mind, which is great! But it means that I have to wait another week after this one before my vacation starts, which is less great but still tolerable. We have a half-day this Friday and next Friday off, though, so the shortened weeks will be nice.

Tonight I'm going to a live recording of the final first(?) season episode of [livejournal.com profile] tropicanaomega's podcast She-Ra: Progressive of Power, since [personal profile] schoolpsychnerd is going to be a panelist! I've never been to a live podcast recording despite having listened to a bunch of them, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the sausage is made and maybe learning something along the way.

Alright, back to work.
