Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jodh Groban should not be tweeting that.

Why not? Surely the only people that need to be okay with that are Adele and the father, whoever he is.

Oh...I see his copypastaing. Still, I don't see the inherent problem.

I just got tossed entirely under the bus by a co-worker. To my boss. It was a really touching emotional moment, as I tried my best to explain that if the answers change to the question I keep repeating, there's not much I can do other than wait for them to change and react as swiftly as possible.

The first three times I asked the developer for his DEVELOPER expert opinion, he said no. The fourth time, he said yes. So I told my manager, and she didn't tell our boss, and the development rep basically said "Yeah, that was on ita !" Whereas, really, his contractors just need to give me the right answer sooner rather than later...

And, honestly, I told y'all what resources were required. You didn't do anything about it AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME you weren't doing anything. I am not a manager. Some things are not my job, I swear.

My boss has never been madder at me. He was spitting furious. Jesus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our seatmate has his headphones on, and he is singing along with his music - LOUDLY. Does he not realize that he is not using his inside voice?

Ha! I almost wish I were the kind of person who would do that.

Ugh, ita.

HA! I get caught all the time singing along to my iPod when I walk home from work. But on an airplane????

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm in the window seat, Beau is in the middle, the singer is on the aisle.

I am laughing so hard I am crying.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beau (for some reason) is not nearly as amused as I am!

What's he listening to?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So I can't figure it out. Seems to be nothing Beau nor I are familiar with. He isn't exactly singing on tune. My best guess is country.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oh, that is hilarious, le n. I wonder if he even knows he's doing that?

The temperature has dropped from 107 to 105. It's not much of a help.

Also, I need to recover from a nasty adrenaline spike. When I came home today, the cat was not at the door as per usual. He didn't appear when I called out, not even when I used the tactical nuke of cat summons, "where's [neighbor cat]?" Not in any of the usual hiding spaces.

At this point I freak out, as I had contractors in the house this morning, so my first thought was that they accidentally let him out. After some searching and calling outside, I give another check inside, and the little guy is hiding under the sofa in the back room, clearly terrified by something. I coaxed him out, and he was still wide-eyed and jittery.

He's calmed down now, but I'm still reeling a little bit from thinking my elderly indoor kitty was wandering around outside in the 100+ heat.
