I got a Yahoo breaking news alert about Capitol police investigating reports of gunfire at a House office building.
Has anyone heard anything further?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The National Review's top 50 conservative rock songs of all time.
That's a phenomenally stupid list, but, as another music geek pointed out to me this morning, The Nation's list would be just as painful to read.

Must have just happened. I'm in DC and I've been listening to a DC radio station all morning, and they haven't mentioned it yet.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MS Project is broken in a way that means I can't see subordinate task descriptions. I've been putting in at least one help desk call a day for the past two weeks. Getting old.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Today is the last day of work before my vacation in which I stay home and pretend to be a full time professional writer. It's going to be difficult to get anything done.
I had my performance evaluation yesterday, and was shocked and amazed that there wasn't one single thing in the "needs improvement" columns. It was all gushing praise from the guys I support (Allyson is overqualified, please promote her immediately) and from my boss (in all the time I've known you, I've never heard a single negative comment).
My mind is sufficiently blown, since I feel incompetent most of the time.
I finally remembered to put a jar on my desk, "ADVICE: 25 cents" because seriously, people need to start paying me for that.

I've been feeling this way for the last five years (IOW, since I moved into the softare development part of the company). Every year I think "This is the year they find out what a phony I am". I figure it's healthier to just keep expecting the other shoe to drop at any moment than to start assuming it never will.

This is brilliant. I may have to steal that idea.
