Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am so sorry, ita. I hope you get some answers soon.

Why must there be so many gray rain boots with interesting designs and then random birds? No, Portland, I do not wish to put a bird on it!

Free lunch

That reminds me--my bosses are doing what they can to pep us up during this transition. We all got free lunch vouchers for the cafeteria last week, and they announced at today's meeting that they're taking us out to a real restaurant for lunch in two weeks.

I'm sorry, ita.

My building at work is on what they call a "partial lock-down". They're expecting a pretty big protest soon.

Tom, can people working in your building leave? What makes it "partial"?

(Because if I worked there, I'd be headed for the door if I could.)

The building is completely surrounded with barricades, and there are only a couple of checkpoints you can enter or leave.

That sounds both good (barricades keep you safe!) and nervous-making (barricades keep you in!).
