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

Leonard is also cromulent. But I will accept Leonardo as complete. That o is a-okay with me.

The -eo dislike might come from my father having Galileo as one of his names. It's complete, but it's also hella ugly.

There's a time-sensitive invitation sitting in my work email about a "travel club". I missed the presentation, but they 'waive' the $200 initiation fee, dock $20/month from my paycheque, and: I can book travel through them; there are trips (whoop-de-do?); monthly specials (on what?); I don't sign a contract (coincidentally, if I don't join I also don't sign a contract, so how is this a perk?); and I could win a trip to Cancun.

I need to decide by today, but I DON'T KNOW. I guess I should just pay attention to the thing where I don't travel as much as I used to because I Don't Have It In Me, and let that be louder than the whole but-what-if-I-miss-a-deal? thing. I'd be spending $240 for something I don't understand, and if there's half a chance I end up taking a tour of the Holy Land with a co-worker, well, just toss me in a boiling tarpit right now.

Because books.

I forgot about Leonard. I need to watch more Community.

Don't join the club. I always regret things like that.

I agree, don't join the club, it sounds at the very least annoying and also sketchy.

Molly used to be a nickname for Mary, I think

Still is, in some circles. My SIL is Mary/Molly.

Gargh, my Nemesis is being her usual self. She's been funneling work to a contractor that should go to me, which means I'm left out of the loop of what's going on with my own program. And then she had the gall to complain about being left out of the loop in a meeting with our boss last week. The hypocrisy, it burns.

I suspect I'm going to have to talk to the contractor, who seems friendly enough, but I don't want to get her caught up in our office politics, and it's not really fair to put it on her anyway. The ridiculous thing is that the contractor is, in fact, very busy, and I'm not. I could be doing the work, if my Nemesis would just give it to me.

Molly and Polly both were nicknames for Mary.

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

The offshore QA tester has been sending his results to all the developers and the guy who usually project manages the regular releases. And the usual PM has been forwarding them to me. For, like, a week and a half. Finally, I ask other guy--why doesn't QA send them to me? "You didn't ask."

You are right. I am remiss in this. But, seriously, he's really good with forwarding to me for another week and a half? How is he not irritated enough to say "Man, leave me out of this. It's not my project."

I suspect a point is being made, and I might just ignore it as long as the email is in my inbox every morning. There are better ways to make that point.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So no one's heard of Ayrton Senna, I take it? That's far more likely to Me than "female Cinna" ridiculousness.

What would a male racecar driver's last name have to do with a female baby name, though?

I couldn't see how it was actually confined to female babies; plus there was a very successful documentary recently. What does Senna have to do with Cinna?
