'Time Bomb'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I know a lot of companies take off Patriot's Day because of the Marathon, due to it being a commuting HELLA NIGHTMARE AND PERIL AND OH NOES.
DC is that way for the Presidential Inauguration. It's a federal holiday, but only in DC and only if the government would otherwise be open. (So if it's, say, a Saturday, we don't get the previous Friday off.)
Angiogenesis I've actually heard of, I think, and the intracerebral xenograft thingie I think I can more or less stumble through, but that NASCAR glyval-whatsit -- buh?
However, Pinky and the Brain for your bro.
Happy birthday Mr. Scola!
Happy birthday, Tom! I hope this is a great year for you. Though I know you sometimes feel your process of change is very slow, I want to say that I have nothing but admiration for your courage and fortitude and that I have definitely seen much personal progress in the time I've known you--and you were a darn cool guy to begin with! Have a fantastic day!
I'm looking forward to the thunderstorms, but tuesday night's forecast has me making faces. [link]

happy birthday Tom Scola
Technically speaking, my company gives us off for Patriot's Day not so much for the Boston Marathon, but because since the race goes around 2/3s of our main building, they can't figure out how to get us all in and out of it what with the race barriers* and all.
Grrr!
My boss at the theatre sent out an email basically blaming me for a lot of communication errors that were not so much errors of me not communicating, but that no one responded to my communications
I think I shot back a response too soon.
Damn snarky anger response
Did you hit "reply all" Sophia?
Because that sounds like it deserves a "reply all".
A problem that I'd reported last week has been passed around and it seems they've identified the culprit and...it's been assigned to my officemate.
Way to make me look bright and proactive (I didn't have the tools to poke around the problem so no way I should've known it was a sysadmin issue not something else. But still!)
