Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

My manager is out on his last week of paternity leave, my coworker's wife went into labor this morning, I'm supposed to start this leadership training tomorrow, and now I have a mandatory meeting in conflict with the training. A meeting where we may find out about uncomfortable changes... or, you know, if we still have a product to work on.

Do I email the trainer why I won't be there? Email and explain why I'll only be there for the first half?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You should be fine with three hour parking. Take a small book, not an electronic device; it's boring, but some judges get irked at seeing a mag or e-reader, and devices piss them off.

Succinct and respectful is good; have any paperwork easily to hand. Your case is pretty in-and-out, and they will just want to shuffle you through. Take a credit card AND a checkbook -- sometimes they take one but not the other. Business-casual dress, but steer away from wearing anything obviously expensive.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Thanks, I picked out a nice outfit so I don't look like a bum with no future, but I'm poor so it's definitely not expensive or expensive looking. I did read on another board that using the phone is a no-no for entertainment, so I've got a book handy. Got cash, got my check book, got my credit card and all my documents for proof that I did my duty.

God, and it was all so easy to take care of, I want to punch myself for letting it get to this point.

I'm finally having a chance to watch the news and catch up and it's just horrifying me. Just...I can't contemplate. It's just so awful. What is wrong with this world??

My yard didn't get did today, alas. Suspect it was the rain. Meetings were long.

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

Is this true Boston people (or those who visited?):

By the way, I love Boston. Only city where you can go into a Dunkin' Donuts there is another Dunkin' Donuts inside

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds about right.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Because books.

That seems odd, I have to say.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My recent visitors from Boston were delighted by the number of "Dunks" in Chicago.

I didn't see the news until I was heading home. Who the hell bombs a marathon? Jeez.
