Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What about long lace gloves, Jilli?

Is that tunic really tunicy or a dress? It's adorable but seems more like a dress.

I took Noah on the subway to Hollywood and Highland where we went to Johnny Rockets for lunch. He's been begging to ride the underground train, as he calls it, this week, so we did it. (Grace's nurse came in today). Normally we go all the way to the library downtown, but it was near lunch, the first car of the train was full of stink and the second full of crazy so I let him decide when to get off.

He liked the station at H&H and was thrilled with a chocolate milkshake. I love spending unstructured time with him.

Unrelatedly, when did folder take over and become a proper synonym for directory?

In my own world, when I realized my boss does not know what a "directory" is unless she's holding a phone book.

My office goes one further and refers to the directory named "Common" as the "Common file." It drives me bonkers. Chatty!co-worker and I tried to get people to at least refer to it as the Common folder, but no. A frigging ginormous directory, and they call it a file.

(Of course, I still suspect some of my co-workers think you scan things by rubbing the sheet of paper against your monitor screen, and I am not making that up.)

Finally, as a decades-long Mac user, I still don't know what the fuck an F drive is, or why my co-workers think I can find it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I think in my job, it's supposed to be "Shared files," but people definitely say "Shared file." I don't care, though!

Speaking of not caring, I just had the trashiest dinner ever: Buffalo chicken dip. So frigging delicious, even though I forgot I only had ranch dressing in the house, not blue cheese.

Also, I'm pretty sure that's a thing you can learn. It's not magic!

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

I think you're reading the long cami as dresslike, but it's not attached to the blouse.

The only short non-leather jacket I have has kind of a waistcoat style to it, so I don't know if would clear the ruffles in the back properly or not.

But I'm really feeling I should try it, although I don't go bare-armed much just because I end up getting cold.

I'm confused. Are there ruffles in the front also?

Never! (Actually, it's one of the servers, but on my computer, they have actual names [like "SYSTEM" -- we are just brimming with creativity], so when a Windows user tells me it's on the "F drive," I have to stop and remember which damn server that is. Apparently on their computers it says something like "F: SYSTEM." I think.)

Oh -- other people are working on Windows machines, but you're on a Mac? OK, I can see where that's confusing, if you don't even see the letters.

I think the front ruffles are the cami, not the blouse itself.
