I cancelled dentist appointments in Georgia for kids and adults, and walked 2 miles to get the kids. I only had to walk 2/3 of the way back, because our neighbor came and got us. Her daughter passed us on the street on her bus, and told the mom where we were, and begged the mom to come get us so she could play with my kids. Now they are all outside singing, loudly and badly. (There are city buses that could cut out some of the walking, but not on any kind of convenient schedule. For the record, my kids' walking pace is about a mile every 38 minutes.)
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Not home yet, so I haven't done any of my onerous stuff there, but I did call about my student loan stuff to see where it is stuck. Didn't get any great answers but will follow up again on Friday.
Also - work is driving me nuts. Too much hurry up and wait. Or PMs who ask me to help but only give me 10% of the information I need to be able to help them. When I send them a list asking for A, B, C, I typically get back B, half of C, plus R and Q. Gahhhhh. This isn't rocket science people. Just answer the questions asked. Not that difficult. If you don't know...just say that instead of ignoring the question.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
oh flea, I feel for you. Picking the kids up from school shouldn't be an onerous task. But yay for nice neighbors!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Weird find during a vanity google: [link]
I always thought my name was so unique. Now there's another me. I feel like I should offer a copy of Sam. But that would be weird and creepy. So I'll just sit here feeling odd about my name doppelganger.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And good Brooklyn walking tours!

Whoa Allyson, your name doppelganger looks a bit like Matilda. She's like the doppelganger girl!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I did an onerous.. Or at least scarey.. Task: asking whether my contract will be extended after Nov 1st.
The answer is actually a Don't Know: the manager wants to keep me as the project isn't near done, but the budget is still being approved. I may know by Monday....

Cereal: Allyson, I can go you one better: currently there is a woman with my real name on trial in Montana for killing her husband.
