Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was so psyched that I had decided on Chinese for lunch, and then very disappointed by the actual lunch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

then very disappointed by the actual lunch.

I hate when that happens! There should be a word for it.

This is extremely cool: Moray eels have a second set of jaws that shoot out, like in Alien.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is there any polite way to tell your boss "You probably should have asked me before you sent that complaint to [partner here](eta: without PH asking for it), because [partner here] has had that complaint since Thursday night, is already working on it, and kind of doesn't like random emails."

No. Sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Work is marginally better than being outside because of the completely unacceptable level of heat and humidity.

Still would rather be in Canada.

Dropped Dylan off at his new daycare today. DH did the really hard part (actually went in with him and said goodbye) and reported back that Dylan was pretty upset but very brave. He cried but didn't run after DH or try to block the door or anything. I just hope he's able to nap - the new place uses cots instead of cribs, which I'm guessing won't be an easy transition.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Is there any way to blame you for the email? Can this be generalized to asking your boss to check with you in the future before sending certain types of stuff? If the answer to both those things is "no" I would not bother. If the answer to the first is no, then question is how much are you willing risk annoying your boss for his own good?

I always forget about the Air & Water show until fighter jets are scrambling overhead as I'm waiting for the bus on the way to work.

That's what I thought.

No--it was pretty clear I wasn't involved in sending it this morning.

It's her own good, not his. I may mention it, later. She's pretty good about such things.
