Did Spitzer resign yet? My sister said it was expected about 7 tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got a call that boiled down to "Well, unless you tell us to do our jobs, nothing's going to get done." To which I reply "Well, tell me precisely what to tell you."
And they're good with that. I don't always get people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I bet NY's lieutenant governor is still reeling. That must have been a surprising call to get today.
David Paterson would (will?) be quite the ground-breaker himself. He's African-American, and legally blind. [link]

Because books.
I heard that he was going to resign, I'm not sure if he did yet.
And yeah, Jesse, I saw that! It's sad that I had no idea who he was until today, too.

I don't really know anything about him. My sister seemed rather delighted about that aspect of the story. Apparently she likes him more than Spitzer. (off to read link)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Looked at the tiny house. Why for no oven?
( and why did I type that way?)

The tiny houses are cool...but the tiniest ones have no bathroom!!
I couldn't make cupcakes in those houses, either. Sad!
Of course, I really don't need all the space I currently have (partly because the apartment is slightly funky shaped). But I *enjoy* having all this space, after years of living in a fairly tiny apartmnt, so...

What response do you think you'd get to "Why don't I just tell your replacements to do your jobs?"

I've known who Paterson is, as a big-time Harlem politician, but I had no idea he was blind.
I just had a really interesting and flattering conversation with a grad school classmate. It's neat to find out how other people see you (when it's good!).

It is one of those few times I regret managing projects at this stage in my career and not people. But I'd not fit in here as a people manager. As a project manager I just have to remember I will be startled.
