Good luck, Calli.
I'm home today. I thought I'd just stubbed my toe. Then I looked at it, and it had turned several colors that would look much better if they were elsewhere. Can't take a shoe today and have plenty of sick leave.

Good luck, Calli!

Good luck, Calli.
Happy Belated Birthday, Erin!!!

That sounds like an awesome job, Calli! Lots of ~ma to you.

I've used this with a few "other" people recently, and it's been a big hit.
One of the benefits of the DH being in this War College program is that he picks up and uses words and phrases from his military colleagues, which often confuse others (like "call the ball"), so now at least he understands why some buffistaspeak tends to creep into my everyday language.
Another benefit is the pair of USAWC sweats I'm wearing right now - at work. It's so freaking cold in my office I've had to put sweats and a sweater on over my work clothes, and sit on my feet.

Thanks, y'all!
And Raq, I love your tag, (FTR: If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan sufficiently)

Gronk. I fully expected to wake up to fresh new thread, instead this ole thing is still hanging about. What is up with that. I though we were talkative around here.
TPTB at work want my contract manager to enroll in school (following my example). Apparently she never got HER degree and they want to check the box on a proposal that she is working on her degree. I love it when TPTB share the idiotic fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Raq's tag brings to mind a particular krav instructor's motto: "Fuck a fair fight. If you wanted a fair fight, you shouldn't have fucked with me."

Calli, good luck on the call back!
vw, glad you and Toto are settling in well.
I, too, love Raq's tag. Don't love the setting of her a/c at work, though. Warmth~ma.
connie, sinus~ma.
Raq, I've purged most of the Navyisms from my speech, but every now and then I find one creeping back in. I told one of my coworkers the other day to "pull chocks" and even did it with the hand gesture to go with. I've quit calling bathrooms "heads," though.

What is even happening?
Raq, I think you should teach us dh's war college lingo. We can scare the internets with it. What's the meaning of the one you used as an example?
Erin, happy belated birthday!
