Okay, and he was planning on leaving at 10.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Although, really? HOBBIT.
Now I'm trying to picture a Hobbit in high heels.

Did I mention my internet doubled in price 2 months ago and I just noticed? So I got on live chat just now. They say I was on a 24 month introductory rate. Anyway - they have now switched me from $62/mo to $50/mo and supposedly faster speed. $12/ month is better than nothing, but I really wanted it under $40.

You haven't LIVED until you've seen a hobbit in heels. And a corset.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now I know for sure--the CIO is 3 years older than me. I know that there comes a point where it's not about age-related seniority, and I really don't want to be a CIO, but...I do feel a bit inadequate thinking of the difference between what she's achieved and what I have at our relatively similar years.
Went for lunch with the other business analyst, manager, and boss yesterday. I think it was a deliberate morale move. I forget that my boss might expect to socially be my boss outside the office, but..NSM. I have conversation lines I won't cross, but my attitude is still pretty brassy.
My first boss there and I completely failed to click. Any time either of us tried to be funny, the other one would take it seriously and misinterpret and it would just be awkward and we could never have a conversation longer than 3 minutes about anything other than work. Boss now is from India, and he finds a lot of similarities between his expat experience and mine, despite the differences in culture. We talk a lot about random stuff. And he's also startled, but pleasantly, at the sort of humour I display at work (I think he's not used to poker face absurdity? If I say ridiculous things with conviction, I can almost always shock him into laughter. It's...too easy. But it means that after the whole "WHY IS NOTHING GOING RIGHT" meetings I can turn around and be remarkably honest to him, because we get along well, better than I get along with my manager, and although it's impolitic, there are things I'd rather tell him.
tl/dr; This all IT meeting better end soon, but then I have to work--I really should be on a sick day today, but that's impossible. But I just want to curl up and cry myself to sleep. This week has taken so much out of me.

I have been idly pondering the question of which way to wear a Wonder Woman logo bracelet, and I have decided that when you pose in bullet-deflecting stance with that fist up and elbow down, the logo should be right side up.

The guy with the "bomb" was shot last night, and died not long after. No word yet on whether he actually had a bomb. The man had been involved in several court cases and had been claiming the DEA was at his house and he was being harassed etc. Various pundits are assuming suicide by cop.

And I have decided that when people kiss my hand they should be able to read the logo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Good luck to DH, Cashmere!
I still think SF should be on the list, but it's not, so GO SEATTLE!
