sara, dude, the flipping is normal. You'll survive it, and we're here to bounce off until then.
exactly this.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Most annoying, msbelle.
Franny has been sharing her dreams with me: Mom, I dreamed that a hotdog fell in the water.

“Not dead yet!”
Well, that was surreal.
My father-in-law just called me, telling me he'd heard the Richard Harris version of "MacArthur Park" three times in the last two days on XM radio and he was wondering what in hell the song was about and was that the Richard Harris?
I... I'm still kind of shaking my head.

I'm so sorry, Perkins.

Punishingly Intricate
I am having issues with a higher up at work. Not someone I report to, but someone above my level. The person is not doing work that I need and it is affecting my ability to do meet deadlines.
ugh, this happened to me at my old job. I just made sure that my direct supervisor always knew what was going on. It's super annoying.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yes, we would love to have you. Email me what dates you are thinking of. We have Memorial Day plans, a wedding in June, and might vacate the city for july 4th, but that last one is pure speculation. Otherwise we are homebound all summer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Air Canada has $135 ow flights to New York. Soooo tempting!
Doo eet!! (Seriously, I was going to post exactly that before msbelle beat me to it.)
The only remedy I've ever found for that is to CC the known world.
Also this. Although it doesn't always help -- I had a somewhat analogous situation yesterday, where I cced a bunch of people so that I would have to be the bad guy (when it's really not my place) and two of them responded to me directly -- one in person, one on the phone. Dudes! I copied you for backup, not moral support!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
he was wondering what in hell the song was about and was that the Richard Harris?
Well, see, Jimmy Webb was driving by the park and there had been a reception that got rained out. So there really was a wedding cake in the rain and he thought that was a sad metaphor for something.... Maybe that won't really help your dad.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Many sympathies, Perkins.
