I am trapped at my desk waiting for one of my bosses to finish an earlier meeting, so I can go with her to one of the conference rooms and set up everything she needs for a teleconference with a colleague in Columbus. There's a free lunch waiting downstairs for a welcome-new-office-manager reception, but I can't go to the reception until I've done the conference set-up. I also had no breakfast, but did slug down three large mugs of coffee. I am ready to commit a felony for some food.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I felt fairly awful last night with the ick, so I stayed home today, although I don't feel as bad as I expected to. In my defense, I'm protecting my coworkers from getting my ick.
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have too many things to remember and no memory. I actually went as far as purchasing the 3M Post It note software in hopes it'd help me stop stuff from slipping down the cracks. I just haven't made time to learn to use it right.

This is flabbergasting, if true. You know how Obama has had Secret Service protection for quite awhile because of threats against him? And you know all the big rallies he's had at places like Key Arena? Apparently there's less security at the rallies than at ordinary sporting events in the same locations: [link]

What's your email software? Is it one where you can tell it to send an email at a specific time?
If you do this in Outlook, it sends at the proper time, but it has the date and time stamp from when the message went into the Outbox.

I know that Joe Montegna used to have a restaurant that specialized in all-Chicago cuisine located somewhere in the LA area. Is that still open?

Yup. It's called Taste Chicago, and it's in Burbank near Warners. [link]
