IyayME!N, I went into the law firm today only to find that I now have a replacement! So I stayed to get her all trained up on what to do and make sure she knew how to do it, and then I left for the last time. I now have Sundays off--yay!!

Perfect timing, what with me going on vacation for a week this Thursday.

At least it's better than the dead person room they always do whenever the family has recently lost someone.

Okay, what? Seriously, what?

Okay, what? Seriously, what?

If the family who's on the show that week has recently lost someone (firefighter dad who died while rescuing a family, soldier mom who died in Iraq, etc.) then they'll just about always set up a "Mom room" or "Dad room" that's filled with pictures and stuff that belonged to Mom or Dad -- his firefighter cap, her medals, huge pictures of them -- frequently with heroic sayings or stuff like that painted on the walls, with chairs so that the family can sit and reflect and remember. The adults and teenage kids generally react to this with a sort of, "OK, thanks," attitude, but if the families have elementary-school-aged kids, if you look at their faces when they first walk into those rooms, the main emotion seems to be trauma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, yeah, you think? That's creep-tastic.

Yeah. They seem to do much better on the design stuff when the story of the week is "Family has several disabled kids and live in a house that's not at all handicapped-accessible" than when the story is "Single mom just died in Iraq and four kids just moved into one-bedroom house with the grandparents."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Boot: [link]

  • Is this boot cool, or not?
  • Would this boot and stripey tights be a good or a bad thing?

Yes.

Maybe?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Depends on the direction and color of the stripes in the tights.

And the huzzbah to carry it off.
