Doc Nilly!
Heh, I suddenly had visions of pulpish Nilly adventures...
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Karl Malden was still alive? Well, now he's not: [link] He was 97!

97? Wow!
In Crazy Republicanland news, did you know that the Democratic Party can now steal elections at will? According to Michael Steele, it's all due to a conspiracy between Democratic secretaries of state, ACORN, and George Soros.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
As is my custom, encouraged by my director, to make floral arrangements for new employees, I put together a bowl of roses and daylilies and brought it up to our new ED.
First thing out of her mouth:
"Oh, how beautiful!"
Second thing?
"You shouldn't have wasted your time."
Maybe she meant it as "Oh, dahling, really, you shouldn't have (minemineminemineyay!), but it came off more as "I already see that you are an employee who doesn't prioritize her time wisely" which led me down the path of "Great, now she's going to think I have an easy job with lots of downtime, and can stand to fetch a few extra sticks".
Then bossman comments, while I'm still fuming, that all my furniture at home should be where it's supposed to be and all the walls painted, with a sad shake of his head that it's not. I shouldn't be surprised, since he also authoritatively stated way back that if I needed to rent a u-haul truck to move, I owned too many things.

Juliebird, if you can't attribute it to an office-wide attack of asshattery, perhaps the new ED meant it in the spirit of "oh, you shouldn't have!" (with an unspoken "but I'm glad you did"). The other ... well, that's just dumb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From KOS:
Wall Street Journal editorial board lives in fantasy land. And lies.
"Mr. Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election," the Journal concludes. "If the GOP hopes to avoid repeats, it should learn from Minnesota that modern elections don't end when voters cast their ballots. They only end after the lawyers count them."
Yeah, in wingnut land, Florida 2000 never happened. And not even Coleman alleged that the election had been "stolen". Not even Coleman.

I went and cheered myself up by making a belated "welcome" bouquet for our seasonal gardener.
Bossman makes me fume, but he also looks the other way when I'm late, and I'm surprised he doesn't have a kink in his neck by now. Yes, dumb. Even if he was my dad, it'd still be dumb and outside his realm of beeswax.
