Same project as yesterday's strange spelling, but different author:
He means participants'. He wrote percipients.
People, the red squiggly line is your friend.

Percipients are people who percieve things, clearly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, a series of SNAFUs already this morning made me laugh so hard alone in my office that my boss came in because she thought I was crying! TGIF, bitches!

Dana, I'm sorry about the work and family problems your DH has to deal with.
Pix, that duvet cover is lovely. Ginkgo trees are nifty!
I've reached the stage of ongoing insomnia where everything is slightly distant and unreal. It's not unlike being mildly drunk. Coding work-arounds for our craptastic CMS today is going to be exciting--no idea what will come out of my fingers. Do modern browsers accept the blink tag? My org might find out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pix, your new duvet is lovely! Don't fret. (It's just a duvet. It doesn't mean what you think.)
Seconding the request for kitten-duvet-surfing video. That's hilarious. My cats do that with the tablecloth. Less hilarious.
some management tactic to me--it involved quadrants of motivation and ability, and indicated what techniques you use when you're dealing with someone that was, say, highly motivated but low on capability, or both highly capable and highly motivated, etc.
Where might I find this thing? I can use all the help I can get.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Pix, I looked for a duvet cover for months and months before finally finding something. All the white-based covers - do none of these people have pets and/or kids? So I feel your pain, and yes, it's a lovely and very reasonable duvet cover.

Percipients should almost be a word. Almost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My 7AM just got cancelled and so did my 7:30AM so fuck alla y'all.
BECAUSE I AM AT THE OFFICE.
However, the muffin thing worked out, and the other people here are appropriately understanding (they do this all the time???) and, as noted by the Cowgirl, TGIF.
Zenkitty, let me try and remember the keywords he used and see what I can find. If not, he's back in the office Monday and I can ask him then.

Are you sure the person had spellcheck on?

Oh, our sales team used to use this. Also a similar system for mapping clients against a grid of "high-value" vs "high-maintenance" to avoid wasting a lot of time on clueless people who never spent any money.

Oh, my gracious heavens. Check out these absolutely beautifully stunning photographs. [link]
From the article: Kirsty Mitchell's late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen's death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.
She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.
Jilli, you will love these photos, but the story may be a crypoint for you. Also, anyone who loves fashion and costuming and stuff. I might need this book.
