Liese, I'm sorry. It was the same with my mom. It always hurts.

Kat, FFS. I hope that's not a sign of how the rest of the year will go.

Pix, whatever that was, hope the shady thing has gone away.

Viva Las Vegas, Jesse! "Hardly any" hookers and blow, hmm?

I woke up at 6:30 to call smonster, fed the furry demons, took out the trash, said fuckit and went back to bed, slept through the second alarm, got up an hour ago when Leo walked across my head, and ate tuna sandwich for breakfast while discovering a bunch of crap I have to deal with at work. That's been my day so far.

My friend's roommate and very good friend was killed in what they think was a robbery this past weekend. So tragic. He had just recently moved to the city. Another man, a pillar of the commmunity, was critically injured in the attack. The police haven't made any arrests and I am not sure they even have any suspects. It happened in a, for Baltimore, relatively safe part of town. There is a vigil tonight and I think I will go. For what it's worth. It is all just so senseless and sad.

Oh, lisah, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

I just realised my post blathered on without being specific. Der. Rude and insensitive. Liese--my sympathy goes out to you and your family that are mourning her loss. Nothing is gonna magic that away instantly.

I set my snooze for 30 minutes, since I'm working from home, and it technically goes off 30 minutes early anyway, since I never switched back from the adjustment I made from when I had to be in the office at 7:30.

So I lay in bed for 5 minutes and then just got up. That just doesn't work.

Tech document question: I'm writing a test strategy document, and some of the audience doesn't understand some of the acronyms--glossary goes at the beginning or the end? I can't really expand it in the text, since it's a label in a diagram.

I'm possibly wasting my outfit on home. It's linen top to bottom--blue linen top, brown linen slacks. But kind of relaxed. Definitely cool.

Ach! On top of that, cross post with lisah. That's tremendously shocking and sad.

Oh, lisah, that's just so horrible. My condolences to your friend.

Condolences, lisah and friend.

lisah,

I'm sorry to hear that. just ugh.

was this a home invasion or something that occurred out in the street? I ask because is your friend in danger? maybe said friend needs to stay somewhere else for a bit if they got identifying/residential information.

Liese,

96 is such a long life, but it is sad you lost her long ago. Peace to both of you. Losing the last grandparent is hard.

I'm sorry about the SO's grandmother, Liese. That's so hard. When my grandmother died last summer, she was the last of my grandparents, too.

Many condolences to Scrappy and Jason, too. I saw a notice about his death on Tumblr before I had any idea there was a connection, and he's really being mourned.

he's really being mourned.

Yeah, a whole industry is shaken. It's a loss of a cherished person on top of the any talent consideration.
