Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thank you, Sara you just reminded me that we have to get our deck furniture and grill in the house somehow. Might have to disassemble the furniture because it won't fit through the sliding glass door.

(I love inflight wifi.)

Shrift, I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up. I had no f2f time this time around. The good thing is the next time I come to Chicago it will only be for personal reasons. One week until my last day with current company.

Oh, and the NDA and non compete? My CEO waived it for me. Now the other company has to put up or shut up. May be too late though, but it is a nice feeling to know I'm that respected.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oooh, Maria.

That's great, Maria.

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

Wow, Maria, that's pretty awesome! Good luck with other company.

Stay safe, people in hurricane's path.

Maria, that is awesome.

Also, all the navy ships in Norfolk were ordered to sea today for the storm, and my cousin was supposed to be home with his kids this weekend. But I guess you got to keep your billion-dollar boats safe.

I know! I was shocked. Technically the NDA is still in place, but the no compete was the larger issue. I'm only ever the second person they've done it for. I hope this is a portent of better things to come.

Now tagless for your comfort.

That's great news, Maria! I hope it happens!

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

Ooh, I hope the waiving works.

Meara, if a woman came upp to you during Pride and said "I have a policy of letting people know If i think they're beautiful during Pride.You're beautiful" followed by long eye contact. Would they have a chance?
