whee - a meeting needs lunch ordered today - so lunch for me, YAY. I need to leave at 3 today to go with mac to get sized/whatevered for a new shoe insert that is replacing his brace. He refuses to go with just McPhee. I emailed my big boss, who is in Belgium at the moment, and cc'd 3 of my other bosses, one of whom is also in Belgium. My other 2 bosses are on vacation. It should be a no brainer, right? I leave one day early, but still have my 40 hours in for the week.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wow, that's great!
Will anyone even notice you're gone? I mean, it's night time in Belgium by 3pm central, right?
right - he wouldn't know unless someone was looking for me. There are a few people who tend to run to a boss if they look for an admin and don't find them.
I think it's premature to conclude he's been miscast
That's a thing people are doing? I haven't been reading much of the coverage, so I'm out of all the cloud-related loops.

It's a thing I'm doing. It's one of my favorite books, and I can't think of any two people less likely to be in my mental fantasy casting session than Tom Hanks or Halle Berry. But since I trust the directors, I'm trying not to let it worry me.

JZ,
while I have not read the 200 page document, I read the serious journalism about it when the document was first dropped (I want to say back in April or May). It is at issue of course because supposedly the Obama administration decided their campaign strategy was not to go after Romney for his flip flops, but that he had other weaknesses they could more easily exploit.
I think they thought that the flip flop characterization might play into a narrative - beneficial to Romney - that he is a moderate. When of course he is nothing of the sort.
I am wondering what their final 4 week strategy will be.
Both campaigns have got to be reaching the point of diminishing returns with tv ads. I lived in a battleground state 4 years ago and the tv ads were an absolute nightmare. I cannot imagine any ads for Romney or Obama will make a difference now.
I LOVE Kai Ryssdal.
