I just turned on the local news, and they're saying there are images of a possible suspect carrying a black bag.

@AP BREAKING: Law enforcement official: Arrest imminent in Boston Marathon bombing, suspect to be brought to court.

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

What's important is what you decided to wear, you know.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

I went with a burgundy cotton knit peasant blouse and black jeans and cowboy boots with silver and garnet earrings. The director in the meeting was wearing a burgundy Polo shirt and black slacks, and the CIO was in a red/brown sweater and jeans, so we all looked very harmonious (as her admin assistant called out).

OMG, I keep forgetting how spicy the brains of our CIO are. I am a shameless fangirl. She dumped a large pile of work on my lap to be done by 3, but that's because of how much she did in the hour and a half we met.

And someone in my group I bumped into in the kitchen just now was all "You're working on the XYZ project? I heard you're meeting with the CIO today?" Uh, I never told anyone that...

Note to self: don't fuck up.

Okay. Right. Slides. They are definitely the currency of 2013 for me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

And now they're backing off the actual arrest announcement, but there is a news conference by the FBI scheduled for 5:00.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We are having one of the first nice, mild sunny days here. And by mild I mean 10C. It's been a cold spring.

Yeah, my coworkers and I ate lunch outside, and it's like 60F. Which I see is about 15C, so still warmer than you! But not that warm.

It's in the mid 80s here, and the trees have been getting freaky all over my car windows. It's going to be a bad spring for people with hay fever; I didn't think I had pollen allergies but even my nose is runny/stuffy from it.
