Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Speaking of 15 y.o. boys... someone please tell me (lie if you have to) that 15.5 to 16 gets better?

Not a boy, but I spent 15 listening to angry music, wearing combat boots, being tragically misunderstood, and in retrospect, with the emotional maturity of a newt. I got better.

In other news, my meeting with big boss ran twice as long as scheduled and I came away with a million action items, but this was actually a good thing. And I was more productive today that I thought I'd be, so I may not have to log into work this weekend after all! Time to watch all the TV premieres I haven't gotten to yet!

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

Mid year performance review just popped up on my radar. Came and went pretty well--boss had no disagreement with my self eval, and just wants me to communicate more. Which I honestly have no idea how to do.

Best of all, he's approved, without blinking, two days a week working from home. HALLOO.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And I was more productive today that I thought I'd be, so I may not have to log into work this weekend after all!

Whereas I seem to have lost both this weekend and the weekend of the 8th to needing to actually be in the office.

I CAN HAZ HAWAII NOW?

Punishingly Intricate

In really good news, DH's full body scan came back, and NO CANCER IN THE MAJOR ORGANS! I'll take it.

That is great news!!! And I support sticking with Hopkins. We've had a really good experience there. (And, really, let me konw if you have questions about any of his doctors. I can probably get information about them. Sometimes it can be nice to hear, like, "Oh, yeah, she's one of the best in her field.")

Kathy, whoa. Glad your job is safe but that must be majorly unsettling.

I haven't had my phone for the last two days. It had some firmware update pushed to it and it stopped recognizing its charger. And couldn't be fixed evidently? That's some bug! Anyway, they sent me a new one and now I have to figure everything out again. argh computers!

Can you pick the Pit?

A very cool page/game to see how quickly you can identify a Pitbull from a series of photos of purebreeds.

Communicate with him? Or in general?

That's great about the working at home!!

In general, I think. What the hell am I supposed to say? I talk to PMs and their ilk. I think I'm plenty chatty.
