Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

So United Airlines replied about that flight they diverted because the family complained about the movie: [link]

Un-frelling-believable.

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

I have a pair of pink pumps that I love so much, but I haven't worn them in quite a while because they're a higher heel than I am used to anymore. I tell myself that I will work my way back up to higher heels again, because it's not like I stopped because of foot problems or pain or anything, I just got out of the habit and now I am scared to just put them on for an eight hour day. But that process is yet to begin.

Got the notice for my Examiner examination, it's two weeks from Saturday. Yikes, I am so not ready for that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What would you be Examining?

Because books.

You'll be ready, -t! Two weeks is both just long enough and not too long beforehand, I think.

I guess flying strictly Qantas isn't possible, huh?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I could probably make it work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So United Airlines reply was ridiculous. It took them how many days to compose that? I could have written that and I don't work at UA.

Hmph.

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

Is this article oddly written, or am I missing something: [link] . I feel like the actual meaning of the article is not there. It just talks around the meat.

Man, when we have to make an emergency change, it's the lead's responsibility to collect the approvals required to proceed. And this is true 24x7. Ir's a weirdly random process trying to cull approval from a director with no direct interest in the change, or someone who has never worked with you. And it's a definite flaw of remote, since calling people and texting them on their personal cells etc to get stuff in by a deadline is...awkward.

And, to boot, the data centre is all "what? now?" We were sitting at your desk, waiting for twenty minutes for you to get off a phone call yesterday. I opened a support ticket yesterday in which I said I'd make this request today. If you refuse to do this things on short notice, TELL ME BEFORE THE LAST MINUTE.

And this morning I get "I iz confuse:(" email from the developer who ignored my request until, hey, the last minute, and then puts IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED on her email subject line. Should I put VAGUELY TIMELY RESPONSE APPRECIATED on mine? If she doesn't understand the question, and her deadline is 9am Thursday, why tell me at 7am Thursday? Why not, say, some time on MONDAY???

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any buffistas know anyone who works at Skadden, Arps? Just applied there and an inside person never hurts.

Financial Institutions! A shifty lot.

So this weekend and next weekend and probably evenings will belong to studying and yard work, I think I can make that work. Sorry interior of the house, you will remain a pit a little longer.

I feel like that article is written for someone who has a knowledge base that I don't share maybe? I didn't finish it, though.
