I tried the color test last night and didn't get through the first line before I had a headache and my vision was all blurry. All the shades seemed so close together.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Look, I'm in my fucking physical office 40+ hours a week. I answer the phone. I reply to emails promptly. I've restored the system from home at past midnight. No, I do not fucking want chat.
I will say, I was pissy as hell when we had to institute chat, for that very reason. But I love it. It eases the email flow, and I can see if someone is available or at least online before I try to reach them. I'm now aggravated at the people who are not using it because it's more of a PITA to connect with them.

Also, motherfuck:
The Supreme Court has struck down the individual mandate for health care - the legislation that requires all to have health insurance.

SCOTUSblog says it is very complicated, but that the CJ joined the left leaning justices.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Both Deb's birthday and Nic's (and also my Aunt Pauly's, but nobody here knows her. I don't think. If she's lurking, happy birthday, Aunt Pauly!).
Matilda quote just for Scrappy:
As she was struggling with her footie pajamas a few minutes ago she paused to ponder the foot that was causing most of the trouble, and then said, "I was thinking. If I made a little birdhouse in my soul, I would probably get a splinter."

Thanks for birthday wishes!
Is it deb g's birthday too (or may Nic's, or maybe their anniversary)?
We're all three born on June 28th.
