I was on a call with an Ethan this morning. I asked up front if they could over-enunciate so I could be a lazy listener.
And I just finished complaining about the former co-worker Eda. Nothing against her, just her parents.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Suzi!
I actually just went and asked Christine about her mystery sibling, and her older brother is Christian. Christopher is typing away over the cube wall.
People are weird. There's a Shane on Big Brother whose sister is Shannon, which I think is bad enough!

One of my grandmothers was named "Eda." I don't think I've ever met another.

There were 2 sets of Shane and Sean brothers in my school. On of the sets' mother's name was Susan and their last name was Shanahan. (this is ungoogleable, right)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I do like the cut of her jib, but I haven't even figured out Twitter or Tumblr yet; Pinterest is way beyond me.
ION, a minor work nemesis (ineffectual but very annoying) just got a politely-worded smackdown, after sticking his nose into my and my co-worker's business. After discussing his PITAtude, we forwarded the email to our own boss with an innocent cover note asking him to clarify who's in charge of the procedural reorg around here, as we find it confusing to have to take direction from so many people who are not usually in our direct (or even indirect) chain of command.
He sent the PITA's own note straight back to him (after judiciously pruning out our admittedly super passive-aggressive -- but effective -- email) with a politely worded request, cc'd to his division chief, that in future he really should bring issues like this to the attention of the people who actually supervise us. He also cc'd my supervisor, who instantly emoticonned me with glee (PITA has been a PITA to her, too, and really to everyone with whom he comes in contact).
It's so strange, being in a workplace where someone with lots of letters after their name is inappropriate and an ass to the admins and someone else actually says to the ass, "That thing you're doing? Stop doing that thing." Strange, and oddly refreshing.

Eda
Is that pronounced “eeda”, “ehda”, or “eyda”?

I really should learn to rein in my (inner! Always inner!) eye-rolling and judging at people who are walking cliches of hipster fashion. Because I am a complete walking cliche of goth, which is just as silly. But damn, this couple on the bus are kind of amazing.
