Skipping yet again in between all the end-of-semester mess (and, well, grading) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is SA's birthday.
Happy birthday, SA! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
[Edited to hug msbelle from a distance (which I wish were so much smaller). I've been trying to keep up, what with all the skimming and skipping, with what's going on with you, and I'm thinking about you a lot lately, obviously. Good luck with all that's left to be done.]
I didn't realize that the Susan Buffet Foundation (wife of Warren) funds so much pro-choice and contraception programs.
Oh yeah. The old Buffett Foundation was a huge funder of the pro-choice place I worked for.
JESUSITA - just got word that HR is trying to retroactively make 7/9 my last day as an employee! FUCKERS! My boss and I were trying to get info from them my last two weeks. Then I worked from home another full week. They would never get back to us. I HATE THEM!. He is trying to fight it, but I am not sure he will win.
Jesse, it still does! I don't know why I'm tickled by that, but I guess it's because I think of Buffet as so plain spoken and midwestern, precisely the opposite of the stereotypical baby killer liberals. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also currently funds LOTS of contraception work, especially overseas, and I think it's great, just not as surprising.
Also, good morning buffistas.
Happy birthday SA.
I think some of the Grace bumps have diminished, except at her waistline where she has continued to scratch.
Oh, msbelle, that BLOWS. I am extremely sorry.
Msbelle, that just sucks!
bonbon- I think the antiperspirant might work AFTER this rash has cleared up, but right now, unfortunately, it is sort of problem of stewing in ones own juices, so to speak.
OMG WTF, msbelle!! Would you still get paid as a contractor for the time, in that case?
I don't know why I'm tickled by that, but I guess it's because I think of Buffet as so plain spoken and midwestern, precisely the opposite of the stereotypical baby killer liberals.
Stereotypically, those folks like to be left alone, and are willing to leave you alone, too. Of course, Susie (Sr.) lived in San Francisco for many years before she died -- they never got divorced, but Warren has been with his current wife for a looong time. Susie introduced them.
I know way too much about the Buffett family. Back in the day, the administrator of the foundation was Susie Jr's ex-husband.
