Am still mulling over what to do about tomorrow. I (and at least two other coworkers that I know of) sent an e-mail to HR expressing a request for them to not make all those announcements. You know how corporate culture is, though, they'll never change their minds. Can't possibly admit we were "wrong" now, can we?

I'd love to come in around 10:30 and avoid all those dreadful announcements, but tomorrow is my soup-ervisor's first day back after a long vacation. Probably wouldn't look too good to take comp time on a day like that. But my computer's CD player just broke, so I'll have no way to drown the PA out. On the plus side, as the CD slot is stuck in the out position, I do have a nice new cupholder attached to the CPU.
