Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Unrelatedly, in my office of like 50 people, we have three preggos! Doesn't that seem like a lot? Although not really given how many of us are women in our childbearing years....

Ann, that's a ferret.

More than normal, but I've seen more. Once, I was in an office of about 20 people with three pregnant women and one expectant father.

This is what everyone is saying on facebook. (Also hilarious: All of my coworkers posting on facebook throughout the day.) Actually, we have two in this office of ~25, and one at the other main location.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Liese, do you have the second feeder out of sight of the first?

Yeah, I do. One is on the window of the sunroom, south-facing. The other is at the corner of the dog's kennel, northwest corner, visible from my office window. What this has achieved is making my whole house a battle zone. We keep getting strafed by them as we come out the front door. The SO wants to add one to the north-facing porch, which would make their hummingbird overlord plan complete.

And yeah, msbelle, definitely making the preparations now is a good idea.

I'm re-doing my syllabus for work. Instead of the usual grade offerings, I contemplated these grades instead: Epic Win, Win, Meh, Fail, Epic Fail.

Good plan?
