Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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.

We have no signed agreement yet for being a contractor, so I am refusing to do work. SUCKIT!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. I had to call one of the developers last night and wake him up for the 9pm call. I still feel like shit. He took it with good humour, but I'm sure everyone's seething and about to go postal. He starts work at 5 or 6am, so he goes to sleep early. He was totally "Bwuh?" when I called. I tried to make excuses to everyone on the con call for why we should let him sleep, but nope.
At least the developer that was working all weekend (ALL-he's sent emails at 2 and 3 and 5 am) doesn't have to come into the office today. But he does still have to work. I really want to try and get at least an afternoon off this week.
