Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So essentially my boss feels that since it doesn't matter, the forgery shouldn't matter either.

This totally matters!

I mean ... it matters.

How can it not matter?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Game 4 is Wednesday night, game 5 is Friday, and if there are games 6 and 7 they'll be next Monday and Wednesday.

Yeah. That's my sticking point too.

OK, that's bizarre. Why would you forge a signature if you could've gotten it anyway, and/or didn't need it!?!?

[ETA: i totally used to forge my mom's signature, but I can't imagine ever forging the school's signature!]

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I can't imagine the fury Suela's coworker would inspire.

There's a lot of whispering in corners. My one consolation is that the micro-managing division chief has basically been sidelined: he used to have all 22 of us reporting to him directly, and now he has 3 people, and my chain of command goes around him entirely. So My Nemesis is one of his only remaining resources.

My Nemesis supports him, he supports her, and nobody can do anything about her (or him).

I fantasize that after the reorg is complete we'll get a manager who knows something about team-building, but I doubt it. The whole place is ridiculously stove-piped and territorial, not a team environment at all. But if I can only get my stuff away from My Nemesis, I'll throw a party...

Coming in to say Congrats Ethan!!!!

But I couldn't resist:

I'm sort of train-wrecky fascinated by how Jon Stewart will handle it.

"Handle it." Hee.

Yay! Well, having just stayed at her guest house I can say that she has excellent taste in first editions and decorating. They're in Vegas for seven weeks, I think.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Colbert's show tonight is really really funny. His take on Palin's version of Paul Revere's ride just made me roll off the couch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just saw that and barked with laughter.
