And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You misspelled warping.

Indoctrination FTW!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The dogs went crazy tearing through the barn and the horse pasture and the hay fields all afternoon, body checking each other into a tumble every so often and then tearing off again. Too funny.

I love love love taking Frankie to play with his BFF Roscoe. He sleeps forEVAH after that. Roscoe, being a boxer, is still hyper as shit. And that is why, though I love boxers, I am happy with my mellow mix of a dog.

And, jinx. Now I have to put on outside clothes and take her out.

And that is why, though I love boxers, I am happy with my mellow mix of a dog.

Seriously. Vader is like more than twice her size and crazy rambunctious, and she kept up with him 100%. (Actually, toward the end of the day he kept trying to lie down and she kept poking at him.) But once we get home she mellows out considerably, and I'm pretty sure that's not the case for Vader.

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

Happy birthday, Sue!

Smooth surgery, Perkins.

Software went live successfully over the weekend. That's 6K users right there. I wonder how long we'll be holding our collective breath...

Now I have three October site launches using a new back end, which should be nothing in comparison.

Now tagless for your comfort.

HD5 lemon for second breakfast.

Oh, msbelle, why must you taunt me???

Stephanie, I hope you can find another place soon so you can tell these people to fuck right off.

Just had a coaching session for tech support. The first ten minutes where this "exercise" to illustrate why it's important to send customers documentation on common procedures. The trainer tried to walk me through a complicated origami project. I'm afraid I went a tad ballistic on him for wasting work time on a kindergarten exercise when the point was made after the first two steps. I've been "spoken to" about my disrespect for the training system before. But dammit, we're all supposed to be intelligent beings here, why are we doing arts and crafts?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Congrats, ita. That`s awesome.
 
And eesh Stephanie. Hate that.
 
msbelle, are there social work programs that could get you plugged into resources and help you find help for mac? You need some relief. I dunno when I last heard about you able to take some msbelle time, and while I recoignize that`s part of parenthood, I really feel like that`s something you need.
 
I am unexpectedly having an extra admin day. The SO has been working double shifts this weekend covering the music store because the owner is on an elk hunt. He has not gotten his elk yet, so we rescheduled today`s classes to Wednesday. I dunno what he`ll do with Tuesday. I think "elk hunt" is a crazy reason to reschedule work, but what do I know? I live in the wild west.
 
I am having trouble getting my head around what I need to do today now that it`s different.

Is anyone else familiar with hamburger fold as opposed to hot dog fold? That was the phrase the trainer used trying to explain how to fold a dollar-shaped piece of paper. I figured it out by realizing what he meant by hot dog fold, but it seems a ridiculous phrase because you don't fold hamburger buns. He claims it how he was taught in elementary school, but he said most other people he'd talked to were unfamiliar with the phrase as well.

(still expecting to be scolded for not having proper respect for the training procedures)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Liese, it's possible. I am a million things behind in lots of different areas, so it just goes on the list. Today I am hoping to get very close to caught up on work, that may allow me a full day off this week to take care of my life stuff.
