I hope yours is better too.
It's so not. I will be in ER in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, I fear.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I assumed it was a takeoff of the Bengals' "Who Dey?"
Nope. (thieving Cincinnatians, we hates them, precious)
Well, we have a beer called Hudy (short for Hudepohl, the brewery) Delight (which is not so much a delight), so I assumed "Who Dey" was an illiterate takeoff of Hudy.
"WhoDat's gonna beat dem Saints?"
Lord, that's worse than "Who Dey." (To my wordnerd ears. I'm sure football fans of both teams adore their respective versions.)
I have to stop typing "Dey," because it hurts my brain.
I am clearly no kind of a sports fan at all.

ION, Getting closer to practicable fusion.
Construction will also be underway this year the fusion reactor ITER in France. If it is successful, the engineering knowledge will used for the follow-up DEMO reactor that will be a prototype commercial reactor putting power on the grid. The estimated date to have DEMO producing energy is 2040. There are a lot of ifs in there, but there are plans to have commercial reactors in the latter part of the century.
The Lawrence Livermore effort is a different approach than ITER and DEMO, so we got two shots at fusion power coming up.

The moon cancellation was a long time coming. For various reasons, it really looked like a boondoggle.

moon cancellation
This prhase by itself made me do a double-take. Like, are we talking Chairface Chippendale, or Death Star at full capacity?
(KaBOOM.)

Hah. Oops, left out a word there...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. Maybe "moon cancellation" means we'll stop making payments on the moon, resulting in it being repossessed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's so not. I will be in ER in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, I fear.
UGH

:P indeed.
I'm not sure how much New Guy intended me to lie for him. He's quite patently not at his desk, and someone just came to look for him because he's missing a meeting he scheduled. I have my best clueless face on, just like I did yesterday when Boss came looking for him an hour after he should have been in.
