I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

So, same old same old?

As always, I'm one back-breaking straw away from becoming a cautionary tale.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm bored and homicidal.

I just e-mailed you. Oh, and I forgot to tell you. Um, remember that blood feud we were slightly worried we might have started at Escapade? I left a comment in a certain person's LJ (completely sincere feedback) and she left a very personable reply, so I think we're good. Or she doesn't care. Or she didn't get a good look at our badges.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just focus on May, shrift.

Thanks, ita!

You don't provide everyone with exactly the same product, though, right? At some point (near the beginning) don't they say "Blue, tweed, five inches long and lemon-scented, please."?

Actually it is pretty close. They only have content variation and a few choices on other things, but with our parameters a client cannot come to us and say, we want XYZ.

Also? I've only been doing PM officially for 8 months, so even though I managed projects in previous jobs, it wasn't strict PM. I had never heard of PMP or PMBOK or PMI (Project Management International in PRI voice in my head).

t zooms over to Y!Mail.

I had to ask myself, "Which possible blood feud?" Because. Er. Heh heh.

Saved by the noisy ice machine! Now if we could figure out the mysterious case of the mistaken identity.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmmm....

NAPLES, Fla. - If Domino's Pizza founder Thomas S. Monaghan has his way, a new town being built in Florida will be governed according to strict Roman Catholic principles, with no place to get an abortion, pornography or birth control.

The pizza magnate is bankrolling the project with at least $250 million and calls it "God's will."

Civil libertarians say the plan is unconstitutional and are threatening to sue.

...

Homebuyers in Ave Maria will own their property outright. But Monaghan and Barron Collier will control all commercial real estate in the town, meaning they could insert provisions in leases to restrict the sale of certain items.

"I believe all of history is just one big battle between good and evil. I don't want to be on the sidelines," Monaghan, who sold Domino's Pizza in 1998 to devote himself to doing good works, said in a recent Newsweek interview.

Is this a terrible infringement of people's rights? Or is it a case of, "If you don't like the rules then don't move there"?

I dunno - I think it's a bad precedent. What if half the towns in a given area that you wanted to live in were organized like this?

The town must follow the laws of the state and the nation. If it takes away rights guaranteed from either of those then no way no how. Unless there is some private community/membership thing that can get them beyond that.

Also, I'd never choose to live there, but I wouldn;t choose to live in a dry town either and there are plenty of those.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't want to be a full time PM, but I do want to be as excellent as my skillz will allow. Hence the studying and stuff.

Plus I haven't gotten certified in anything for forever.

Municipalities can do a lot with zoning. Like the dry thing.

Oh, sure. Go you.

Drunk pig fired from cannon

Probably stills from a film of some sort - hopefully fictional. Although if it was real, it appears the pig survived unharmed.
