Ugh. Way to wake up--an email going over my head, asking "do you know what the answer to this is yet?" (for a question asked last week), and the person-over-me responding "This is the first I've heard about it!" ...because my boss, the person between us, apparently hadn't sent it on. Not sure how to deal with the over-my-head person without looking horribly bitchy. "Sorry, I had sent that to MY boss, but she hadn't sent it to the person YOU cc'd yet...because my boss sucks..."

DOMA ruled unconstitutional.

YAY!

Woo hoo!

12-mini-mule hitch.

So the skills it takes to recruit the right wife are similar to the skills it takes to recruit the right players?

I cry foul.

I think I knew you were not a cat person Tom, but cats are less work than dogs and allow you to take day/weekend trips.

Not if my mom and cousin are any indication. Their schedules pretty much revolve around their cats. (Though at least Mom's is also friendly and affectionate once he gets over the 15-minute urge to hide, in contrast to cousin's Ghost Cat and Attack Cat.)

he thinks the best way to assess their abilities to recruit promising high school students is who their wives are.

To me, this indicates a profound misunderstanding of either marriage or coaching, or both. Either way, ew.

Indeed on the woo hoo!

ita, I tried your site, but since I've lost 18 lbs, I think I need to just go and get remeasured. I'm trying a new bra today that's 2 cup sizes smaller and I have a little spill over but not much. My other bras are gaping.

In office gossip news, My Nemesis has fixated on a newish contractor to do all her technical work for her. I suppose I shouldn't complain, except My Nemesis appears to be giving her some projects that should come to me, since they are associated with the program I run. But of course the only way I know about it is because I hear My Nemesis talking to the contractor.

And when I went to my boss and said, "Shouldn't [My Nemesis] be giving me the work that is associated with my program?" He said, "Not really."

::shrugs:: I wouldn't complain, except it makes me look like an idiot if I don't know what's going on at those sites. Which, of course, is her intention. Or so I believe.

It's also unfair to the new contractor, who is very busy already.

Hmm... if there was another way that did not include dry ice, I'd happily share chiles with you. I think I may slow cook a chile stew since I have pork in the freezer.

FYI - I'm planning to hit the F2F, and returning home to San Diego after - also staying with a friend, not at a hotel, so will have refrigerator/freezer access. If you ladies would like to use EpicTangent messenger service, let me know.

To me, this indicates a profound misunderstanding of either marriage or coaching, or both. Either way, ew.

I cry foul.

Given the Penn State scandal(s), you'd think he would be more judicious in how he explains his recruiting mechanisms and the implications it may present.
