Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sorry to be late with the sympathy, Kalshane. That really does suck, but then we've known your employer is run by asshats, or worse, clueless asshats. Like the asshat that called my project lead at 3:05 PM last Friday -- we were closing at 3 for the holiday BTW -- and demanded that somebody be called in out of vacation to prepare something for him.

Not that he could have been reached, even if she'd wanted to try. I've told her to stop answering her phone when its time to put on her coat, but does she listen to me?

Shit, Hec is on a ROLL today. You made me laugh about 15 times, so thank you, m'dear Smay!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we were reporting exciting evenings?

mine was get through adjustment period of coming home, dinner, homework with mac, bathe mac, read bedtime stories, lay down until mac is asleep. Now I get to log on and do a couple hours of work.

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

Wait--so one of the twins will be named Clementine?

Me, I have nothing more exciting than kettlebell planned for the evening, but judging by how much I post about it, that must be very exciting indeed.

I just hope my lunch digests properly before class starts. I have half an hour.

You're welcome! How many did you COMM, he said expectantly?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I have to get up 4 hours early so I can make the commute to corporate to arrive 3 hours ahead of my normal start time to do something I could do better from my normal desk, just so there's someone physically in the department tomorrow. WTF?

Yeah, that makes sense. Or the other thing...

I'm sad I missed all the Natter threads.

Also, I seem to be eating the world!

I'm getting the pig!

Wait--so one of the twins will be named Clementine?

This is what I get for working so damn hard and not keeping up in Natter. The last Natter, anyway. I was so utterly confused that I had to skim 48 to find out what was going on. In light of that:

Congratulations to Kat and Lori!!! That's wonderful news!

And also, belated Birthday Happies, shrift! And current Happy Birthday wishes to ita!

I seriously need a pause button for the invisible internet people. Or work. Yeah, a pause button for work. That's a much better plan.
