I think Terra Nova starts next Monday.

Hey, all y'all Radio Lab fans--Jad Abumrad won a Macarthur genius grant.
That is great! And I think I owe being a fan of Radio Lab to you, Consuela, when I was asking about podcasts in Boxed Set a year or so ago, so thanks!
Also, damn, they give out a lot of grants!

Also, also, Jad looks different from the picture in my head.

Happy birthday, Sue! What are you going to feed yourself on this vacation/birthday?

Happy Birthday, Sue!
Happy Book Day, Amy!

what do I say about a "You're not paying attention" lapse?
Perhaps you didn't realize the the document is numbered at the bottom and the upload date is [here].

what do I say about a "You're not paying attention" lapse?
Yeah, what Ginger said.
I don't know what to do about my Nemesis. Apparently management is never going to actually manage her, and seems to think it's just that I don't like her (and she doesn't like me). But I would like her fine if she just did her fucking job. Well, and stopped lying about people.
She's only 64. And her daughter's a junior in college and wants to go to grad school, so apparently she's planning to keep working to pay for all that.
Argh.

Because books.
Happy birthday, Sue!
Thanks so much for the good wishes, everybody.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, he just called me, so we had to have the discussion where a million people could hear, but I pointed out that other people had been using the numbering system for a week, that the update had been announced by other people, and that I plain didn't think he trusted me.
He took some of it back, but not enough, IMO. There's shit you can call me on, but back off the easily verifiable stuff. Other people can't refer to a numbering system I didn't put in, yet their numbers and mine magically agree.
I'm really pissed at him right now. I don't know if he understands how many holes there are in this project, and somehow he's expecting that if he rides me hard enough, they'll get filled.
NO. They get filled by the business users. Don't tell me to "pick a process and put it in". I don't work that way. If the users outlined a process that doesn't match any they have to choose from, my job is to call that out, not wedge one into the other, or flip a coin. It's requirements gathering not requirements decision that I do as an analyst.
I am twitching with anger. I'm glad, at least, he called immediately to address the email, but I'm wonder why he didn't make the call from his desk, but from a private place, and I had to take it in public. Grr. Just grr. This is going to be irritating me all day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Birthday, Sue!
