"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

SQL doesn't have to be too scary, Daisy. What do you need to edit within the query? We can probably tell you which bits to fiddle with.

I don't think I'm messing with the query at all-or at least I think the part that tells it what to do, I don't think I'm messing with. I think the only part I'm messing with are the values I'm asking it to use.

My problem is that it means a lot of copy and paste with multiple values and if anything is off (extra comma, missing comma, line not pasted in) it's thrown off and someone has to fix it because I don't know enough to look at it and say, "Yeah, that looks right" or "Huh. Something seems to be missing there." like I can when I'm asked to muck around in the HTML. (Like, I don't know, I'd notice if I deleted a tag or something)

Jesus, Perkins. That sounds awful.

So I left work early today, getting a sub, to go lead a PD. (I never answer my phone while I'm teaching). I get on the road, about 10 minutes from the charter where I am doing the PD and I check my voicemail. The PD is canceled because it's rainy out. Seriously.

I love LA people.

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ah. It seems I have another choice for task I can use to procrastinate updating those lists.

I can wrangle 5 different spreadsheets into the 1 I already created (with different formatting for each one!) to keep track of demi-projects that haven't been hard-tracked since before I got here. Getting everyone in a room and getting everyone to agree on priorities so we can get them all slotted properly (without a major program blowing them out of that date) was the basis of my stoned/wet/feral cat meeting this morning.

Can it be 5:30 now?

There is an elephant appreciation day. My friend K and I celebrate by texting each other stupid elephant jokes all day.

I wish today was Elephant Appreciation Day.

It can be Buffista Elephant Appreciation Day.

I think today is Monkey Appreciation Day. Or it should be.

I have chosen spreadsheet wrangling.
