Huh. That's teh first time I've felt even marginally useful in weeks. Go figure.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

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.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
HEY.
oops.
Pretend you didn't read that, okay?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just sent the email, but thanks! Really, inviting people to this thing isn't my job (and they do apparently get a pretty heavy-hitting attendee group -- Shonda Rhimes was there last year), but I just thought it would be fun to send to a couple of the people I'd like to see there! Even though I'd probably not even see them if they are there...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am on hold with the post office. Theoretically. It's actually been about 13 minutes since anyone's talked to me.
I should hang up and call back, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nope, Dana. I sometimes call on another line, to see if it seems that bad, but heaven forbid they're actually FIFO, and you lose 13 minutes.
You can do other stuff, right? The internet is your playground.

Happy Birthday, Calli!!
Happy Birthday, Burrell!!
Lovely pictures, Tom.
And now, from the files of A Day Late and a Dollar Short:
My DH is KG6PCM, but he uses it only for hang glidingThis goes back a bit, but... what is the connection between a HAM radio license and hang gliding?
Nukes freaked me out as a childThey didn't freak me out, because I thought mutually assured destruction was a logical deterrent (I did not think of it in those words). Then I grew up and realized that the world is chock full of whackaloons in high places (and low places, and medium ones), and it is no longer even remotely reassuring.
edited because The Day After is not exactly the same as The Morning After.
Heh.

I have no other line. I called back using a different number, and apparently the person I want is at lunch. I wonder if they would have just left me on hold until she came back from lunch.

OMG, you weren't in a queue? My advice was way wrong, then, Dana.
Happy birthday to Burrell and Calli!

Nope. Placed on hold by an actual person. No musak or anything.
