Oh, oh, what he said. It reminded me of something, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Hmmm. Maybe. Most of the icons are basically the poster (or the google image search result), once you know it.

And given that and this: [link] I and my friend entering the contest think you are right! We argued about Grease/Stand By Me for an hour.

I'd rather have had a glowing eval, but she left saying she had a lot to think about, and she left saying she doesn't doubt my zeal to produce, so that's the most important stuff taken care of.

That's something -- it's so hard to share problems with other people without "throwing them under the bus."

I just got a really nice note to the Good Stuff from someone who said it seems to have an anti-oppression viewpoint, which I wouldn't have thought of, but sure!

Ok, puzzle time. The last image here: [link]. Grease, Stand By Me, or other?

Breakfast Club? (Especially if EAT is part of the clue)

edit: I R slow

Oh dear, decisions: 180 Days on a school in the DC system, the Russian fireball or Supernatural??

Thinking of the twins, in my mind, each year is a snapshot of one year's astonishing changes from one TG to the next. Meeting Noah that first year; the first year I got to meet Grace. Feeding Noah his first raw cranberry relish (he LIKED IT!) Watching her reluctantly learn to walk. First TG with her home for the holiday. Noah bursting into tears when I got out of the car to board my plane home. First holiday with both of them home for keeps. Riding trikes in the back yard and chasing balls. And who can forget drama llama? [link]

I can't decide, but so far, I'm taking home from the fireball incident: crowd-sourced science observations. And it just gave me an idea I need to mention at work.

The ads for Entertainment Tonight say "ET has your first look at the heart-wrenching finale of The Bible." I keep wanting to post spoilers.

I took advantage of my momentum and went to my boss, the director, and told him how dissatisfied I was with my performance last year, and why.

Ha! Apparently I have a reputation as a bully, but one with her heart in the right place. Basically, I get monomaniacal about delivering solutions, and I disregard collateral damage on my way to deployment.

I'm not clear why more senior (less incompetent?) developers didn't feel I was telling them what to do, but maybe...they knew what to do. It's a little theory I'm tossing around.

Anyway, I told him I felt there were holes in the team, i was frustrated, and yes, I was losing perspective in my push to get solutions delivered. For a bad review, it was pretty good. But...bad. And I don't know how to solve it.

So they'd rather have happy people than finished work?
