I would be in Mendocino, apparently, which just doesn't seem right.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I missed something, what are we all talking about?

Huh, I'd still be in New York, I think. Is there a way to zoom in? The Northeast is pretty crowded.

I kind of love that map. (Link, for those who missed it: [link] ) I currently live in Mammoth, named for the cave up in Kentucky, presumably, and previously lived in either Willimantic or Adirondack, I can't quite tell. Adirondack feels more right to me. Though I totally share Jesse's annoyance about Casco -- seems like that area should have a much more olde-tymey feel. Plymouth, maybe?

So I came in this morning to discover that a surprising number of my coworkers (257 and counting) do not understand why you don't REPLY ALL to an unsolicited email from a list you didn't know you were on.
If there are 40,000 people in my organization, and 257 people hit Reply All to the original TEST MESSAGE (which did in fact say, DO NOT REPLY)-- wait, no, another one just arrived, 259, that's well over a million emails clogging up our network.
To cap it off, my boss drafted a satirical email, masquerading as an organization-wide statement from HR. He has not sent it out to the entire agency, though he's sorely tempted. To wit:
SUBJ: RESULTS OF THE DARWIN SELF SELECTION FURLOUGH PROGRAM 1. This ALDORPNOTE is to announce the results of the [Agency's] newest human resources and cost saving tool known as the Darwin Self Selection Furlough Program. The program was initiated to identify a set of candidates which the service could furlough with absolutely zero loss in productivity should the ongoing budget crisis requires immediate cost saving.
The results of this first ever run of the self selection program were an astounding 251 people who self-selected by virtue of spamming the entire [Agency]. More self selectors are expected and will be announced in an ALDORPNOTE supplemental message. As an aside, we do expect this ALDORPNOTE to educate all, well perhaps some, [Agency] members of the existence of these self-selection tools so more innovative measures may be required to entice future rounds of self-selectors to show their qualifications for furloughing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Looks like I'm in either Susquehanna or Allegheny -- I can't quite see exactly where the border is. I think I'm in Susquehanna.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Things I want (morning edition)
1) Chicken and waffles or biscuits and gravy (can't decide which)
2) to have gotten more than 2.5 hours sleep
3) For it to be Friday
4) all the coffee in the world.

Things I want:
1) For my Dad to stop driving,
2) For HR to get off their asses and give me my job.
3) For My Nemesis to get hit by a bus retire.
I don't think that's too much to ask for, is it?
