Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Whoa! The real 'Sybil' admits multiple personalities were fake.

It is good news. The six month thing took the wind out of my sails but still, very good news.

Yay for the good news, brenda.

In other news, the volunteer I complained about yesterday has done it again, going where she was not supposed to go, posting where it is illegal. She sent 4 emails and 10 text messages today, and by the time I got to them the police were calling. Now she won't answer her phone, of course. I am so out of spoons I have my doubts about ever having enough again. And the DH leaves tomorrow for Sri Lanka.

Oh, geez, Sparky. You could use a volunteer to run the volunteers. I'm sorry this is so hard, and I'm even sorrier Sass isn't home yet.

What Jen said, Sparky. I wish I could help!

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

I got five automated emergency calls from JPL this morning warning me that there was a bear chilling out behind my building and so I should park someplace else, go straight to my building and stay inside.

Now we have a special account for our timecards in case we were late to work due to the terror of the bear.

Interestingly, if there are mountain lions, we just get a message on the intercom that there is a mountain lion in the parking lot and to "use caution."

:/

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday brenda!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Oh Sparky, how seriously frustrating! I'm so sorry. At least, now that she's broken the law and gotten the police involved, you can (when you can finally get in touch with her, and when you have the spoons) lay down the hammer: she's part of the problem, not the solution. Cease and desist.

I wish I could help, too.

You could use a volunteer to run the volunteers.

It sounds like you need a volunteer to take out some of the volunteers, and another volunteer to hide the bodies.

Interestingly, if there are mountain lions, we just get a message on the intercom that there is a mountain lion in the parking lot and to "use caution."

I'm sure that if a mountain lion ever mauls someone, you'll get a special account for timecards for lateness due to the terror of the mountain lion.

I think this is what that email list is for that we are discussing in Bureaucracy.
