Lights were on when I came in this morning, which is unusual since I am typically the first one here. But, no one was here. There's also a possessed elevator in the lobby. This whole building is just lightly haunted for Halloween, I guess.

So awesome when I ping someone asking if they can help with a particular issue and they just don't respond. If you can't help, that's fine, but SAY SO. I will move on.

My computer wants updates for the second time in as many days.

"You just had your updates."
"We have updates at home."
"Did you not finish your last updates?"
"You can have updates when we finish this task."

Discussion going on as to whether next Wednesday is a holiday for our multi-national team - "National Day for Truth and Reconciliation".

This is not a US Holiday. We do not do truth or reconciliation.
