Plei, you have a beautiful girl!

Happy birthday Lilybean!

Grace's face it too funny. I used to test software -- the testing period was 4 weeks for a new release. ( ha) the first week I surfed the web with no guilt because new stuff broke everything. And then the co in its infinite wisdom. Fire all the testers. yes all three of the part time testers-- thinking to save money because the programmers could 'test' there own software.

Oh yeah -- bad management hates on QA because it exposes all the flaws, which they'd shortsightedly prefer to ignore. So one of my major warning signs that an IT department is going down the tubes is when they can QA.

(Another is eliminating the free juice in the breakrooms, followed later by eliminating the free soda. But that's just from my bitter personal experience.)

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

Where did everyone go?

I have a dentist appointment today at 4:00. Which means I won't have to resort to Plan B, which was "DIY dentistry with a Vise-Grip."

I expect it's a very intense Monday out there after a holiday weekend.

Especially if you're working in the Marketing department at Amazon.com this morning. They should just be getting in now....

Happy Birthday, Squeakaboo Lily!

Good to hear, tommyrot. DIY dentistry is not recommended.

Happy birthday, Lillian! My niece is 4 and I can attest to it being a super cute age.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday, Lillian!

I do not understand how I can still be drowsy after 10 1/2 hours of sleep on top of a nap yesterday afternoon.
