"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Can you say yes, you do mind?

Well, since I'm hoping to be promoted soon, I'm trying to be good. But I did say I'd do it only if I could work it into time off in with my sister or The Boys.

megan, if you do come, let me know! I'm twenty minutes outside of Syracuse!

Awesomecakes! We're waiting to hear whether the presentation is a go, but if it is I will probably take that week off and have some time either the night before or after. As per usual, I have no details yet.

Kat, were you the one who read and loved Christine Falls? I just picked it up and it looks really good.

Just shout. I'm pretty sure we're not doing anything that weekend.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I am. I really really enjoyed it, Amy. Very page turning. Even though the ending is somewhat expected and the first two chapters were confounding.

But Dublin 1950s seems made for Noir.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Well there's also a woman with an open red shirt and no bra in "the river of crawling death," but she seems alert enough. Her brave man seems to be willing to go to bat to keep those tatas safe.

Perhaps it's the same woman and the sight of her red shirt and bralessness just drives random small wildlife crazy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Or the man attacked by lobsters (which are red, so they've already been cooked).

And they're calling them crabs.

The killer otter made me snort out loud.

I picture the EIC of these magazines as J. Jonah Jameson.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

So, last night, after 11pm when I was complaining about insomnia? I feel asleep soon after. And didn't wake up until 1pm this afternoon. 12 plus hours of sleep. wtf??? And neither of my kids woke me? And I'm not sick? That NEVER happens.

Luckily, since I work from home a fair bit, no one at work freaked about me not being there. Just means I'll be working until much later today than normal. I'm still flabbergasted.

You must have really needed it, Suzi.

Weather.com tells me it's 54 here right now. No wonder I'm freezing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, my old job has a new CEO. This year, instead of the previous free time Summer Friday situation, the new CEO is making them increase the M-R workday to shorten Friday. I have already seen one pissed-off Facebook post... we'll see what else shows up! Classic. I have to say, while I'm always happy to take free time off, I think it's fair to remember that you aren't actually owed it.
