It's insane when your manager lies about an easily disproved thing, right?
Yes. Yes it is. Or the manager just doesn't care, in which case maybe s/he's at a point where s/he'll be improving your work environment by leaving it.

She's our new manager. I've been waiting for the mutiny since about a month after she came on board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sorry, Dana. Biyi has had similar issues with one of the interpreting agencies. Because she had the temerity to approach a client directly (to recommend that interpreters be given hearing topics ahead of time), this agency went completely off the deep end, culminating in them calling her to claim that the client had taken out a restraining order against her. Because restraining orders are always served over the phone by a third party with no law enforcement capacity.

This is not nearly on the same scale, but it is that kind of thing.

Wow, that's... really ridiculous. Have some fucking perspective, people.
Okay, I give up. I can't finish this letter tonight, and if I don't leave the building in the next 11 minutes, they lock the doors and I have to go across to the other building and out the back way, which is a pain. The rest of this will have to wait until Wednesday. I am on vacation!

Man, Sutton Foster is a year older than I am. I have a year to win two Tonys. And learn how to dance.

Watching professionals do the breaststroke (or any stroke, really) fascinates me. Some are choppy, some are smooth. Some all power and muscle, so evident, some effortless looking.

200m in under 2:20. That would take me over 4 minutes. Crawl. Breaststroke more like 5 or 6.
