True, the internet doesn't help either, although I don't think it's fair that the first thing when the pros screw up is to be all "Fricking bloggers," as if bloggers are the ones that are supposed to study ethics every semester.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why do they keep forgetting: 24-hour news cycle means you can take an bit more time, be sure you get it right the first time.
No, no, you've got it backwards. The 24-hour news cycle means if you're not ON THE AIR BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW, then you LOSE. Unconfirmed rumors are better than dead air.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The Federal courthouse in Boston is currently being evacuated. No idea why.

I am too through with CNN right now. They have been completely irresponsible today. Completely.

I'm watching the local news. I can actually see the evacuation happening on the video, and they're calling it a bomb threat. There are bomb sniffing dogs on the scene.

Yeah, we're watching the WBZ feed here. I can't deal with the 24-hour networks.

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

It is the default method of communication here, even if not given at a meeting. And I managed to get cred for being good at them, so...
RIGHT. BACK TO WORK.
I took a short detour to throw someone under the bus for not responding to me, and it was remarkable how quickly he called once he saw the business cc-ed on the email where I asked him for information. And how sure he was he knew how the system worked (I was lead on the project, he was not involved in the design or implementation) and that he'd never received incident response documents (I wrote and mailed them to him a year ago, and we've had two handover meetings since then--one where he told me "that's not how it's going to work" and one where he told me "well, maybe it's going to need to work this say"). Oy.
I feel zero shame.
And it turns out he told me the wrong information! Yay!
I'm going back to the slides...well, painkillers and then slides.
