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."
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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

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.

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?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So my father has bought his airline tickets. No, I never told him it was okay to visit. I didn't know there could be more incentive for me to get a job, but there it is...

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

Does it come with the super villian features? Or do you need another $25 mill for trap doors, secret panels, ceiling mounted giant hooks, etc.
