Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good one!

Yay Aurelia!

I am watching Cutting Edge on Netflix and just discovered William Ivey Long wAs the costume designer! He is probably the most notable Broadway designer.

Yay aurelia!

Rose is currently on her third Pack&Play nap of the day, and has been asleep for about 20 minutes so far. The longest nap lasted two and a half hours! I guess she likes the Pack&Play just fine, though I still think we may have some issues when it comes to sleeping there all night. I'll keep you all updated, naturally.

Master Chiefs are nigh unto God in the services. I'll have to point him out to Hubby, who was in the Coast Guard.

Aurelia, what is the job?

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

I left an IT guy doing an installation at my computer while I was in a meeting.

Bets on whether he flipped over to my open browser and read any tabs?

I can't actually decide with him. Could go either way, honestly. The temptation would be so strong. I can't lie. But I would feel good knowing I hadn't done it. And I'd feel great knowing I had.

I have been driven to the point of committing chocolate. Lordie lord...it's just...you have to work out a way to phrase your questions differently from your answers. And agreement differently from dissent. If I can't tell any of those apart, it's kind of hard to be productive with you.

I was having a bitch session with one of the BAs, and I was complaining about the QA group, and how they always tore my requirements documents apart. He cracked my shit up with "Dammit! If the developers can develop without requirements, why can't you test without them?"

Which is...so very perfect. Could not have said it better myself.

The comments about both the Boston rejection of Chik-fil-a and about even the possibility of curtailing the availability of guns are so filled with vitriol and illogic (at least on Facebook) that I fear for my sanity.
