Matthew Fox is a woman beater?

Ugh, that's depressing. One of my friends worked with him many, many years ago in a live theatre troupe in LA, a little bit after Party of 5 but long before Lost, and she said that he was sweet and kind and egoless (it was a shoestring everyone-does-everything group, and he was hanging lights and sweeping under the risers and sitting in the lobby folding programs along with everyone else) and that he seemed to utterly dote on his wife. It's completely plausible that the seriously big money and attention and everything else conspired with whatever he already had going on under the surface to do a number on him; it's just depressing as hell.

Holy Clothing.

Oh, lovely, but I'd have to lop at least a foot off all of them to fit my short frame.

La Nubian!

I don;t know if this still means anything to you, but I did it--19,504 frogs, all present and accounted for!

Lee, I am totally craving a bacon cupcake this afternoon and that is entirely your fault.

Eta: but now I have the potentially genius idea of adding bacon to my next pound cake, so you'll get credit for that, too.

Man, everytime I look on Twitter it seems like there is another fire on a different Chicago El line.

I am evil like that.

I seem to have hit the point where I am so far behind I've pretty much stopped trying to get caught up, at least for the day.

Oops.

Lee!

I am right behind you. I am at 97%

I am on the phone with the lousiest tech people ever. We have a severe issue, and troubleshooting needs to be done, and none of them have any idea.

I'm trying to suggest recreating the commands that the really slow application is cho(c)king over directly in the backend app itself to see if it's the backend app, or something in the .NET application calling. Everyone is silent..tumbleweeds rolling. It's fucking pissing me off, not least because my manager keeps asking me what to do.

I am not a developer (of this system). I have zero clue, and I'd really like an actual developer to have some initiative.

TRACE THE FUCKING CODE MOTHERFUCKERS. CHECK THE NETWORK TRAFFIC. FUCK.

Man, everytime I look on Twitter it seems like there is another fire on a different Chicago El line.

I've been waiting for almost an hour for a bus that isn't already overcrowded since everyone headed north is taking a bus. I'm starting to get hungry.

Timelies all!

I need to find some more work-appropriate t-shirts that are long enough to tuck into the mid-rise pants and jeans I own. Part of the problem is finding things in colors I like. (popsicle colors are not my friend)
