oh yes, Vortex, congratulations on achieving HOUSE!!!! WOO!!!
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

I am very jealous of all these home owners. It doesn't help that, in an effort to get hills in on my daily walk, I constantly subject my self to house porn.
And speaking of porn,
Happy Birthday Trudy!!!

Yeah, totally, Vortex, congrats! The house looks completely awesome.
Best wishes, Trudy!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Does anyone here know anything about Google Calendar? Specifically, how to invite other users to a shared calendar and how to get it to send me email reminders for my events? Because my boss seems to think I have this all figured out and can teach the rest of the department, but all I've figured out so far is how to add events to my personal calendar and the departmental calendar. I'm trying the Help Center, of course, but somehow it's not helping. Like, I'm adding a new person, but her name/email doesn't show on the list after I click "Add Person." And I've told it to send me email reminders of meetings, but I never get any.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Go into Google Calendar, add a new calendar (assuming you don't want to share your own calendar) then select "share with everyone" or "share with specific person" and add people.
I haven't actually used it myself - I just played around and found this.

So I came into work this morning. Turned on my computer. My computer booted into Windows, and then went "CRRRONK." That was the exact noise.
Three and a half hours later, I have a new computer. And internet access again, thankfully.

Susan, I created a private calendar and added you (using your gmail address). If you go to your calendars, can you see it?
eta: I also set you up to be able to make changes.

Thanks. It looks like the problem was that one of the people didn't have a Google account yet, so it left her blank until I'd finished the process.
I have to say, IMHO Calendar isn't up to Google's normal intuitive and user-friendly standards. But my boss wants us all to use it, so...
Grr. I'm not feeling good about my job today. Really, I'm not feeling good about ME today.

Yes, I can. Cool. Which reminded me that I can access a calendar from my gmail address, allowing me to have a personal-personal calendar and a work-personal calendar.
Thanks! I'm feeling better. Still a bit cranky, but better.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Remember the woman who raced her minivan to try to beat the freight train?
Ugh. That still makes my stomach churn and chops my heart into little bits.
To offset it a bit, here's a much more amazing and hopeful story from the same paper.
