No, thank god, that'll be up to our UK team. I'm tragedy-ed out right now.
I'm glad it's not you. And yeah, enough tragedies already, although looks like they are gonna keep on coming.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think I'm gonna go watch the clip of the woman in Oklahoma finding her dog again.

I got an email this morning from a higher up saying he would miss the XYZ call because he was headed to the west coast for the Shire meeting. He is not noticably short or hairy of foot, but it still made me smile.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, ita, I will check them out.
Not looking at the news until after work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I put up that Helen Mirren story over the weekend: [link] (I always wonder if it's worth putting good posts to go up over the weekend. Does anyone see them?)

Today is a good day for the Calming Manatees.
My parents' GP is going to approve my mother for hospice, and we had a hospital bed delivered this morning. According to the GP, Mom's been refusing/spitting out her meds for the last couple of days, and she's going to recommend dialing back ALL her meds, including the anti-anxiety drugs.
When I pointed out that as recently as a month ago, an attempt to do that resulted in hysterics, she said that "She's not the same person now."
And I'm having good-bye drinks this afternoon, and I have a sinking suspicion that hardly anyone will show up.
And I don't have a job.
And people suck.

Oh Consuela. Hugs and ma. Schedule something fun this weekend will you? Even for 2 hours.
The London shit is TOO much. I heard about it on NPR and just found it unbelievable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone see them?
I tend not to. The reason I wrote that and not sent a link, though, was because I couldn't find one that a) didn't bash the Queen b) mentioned the play c) mentioned the knighting d) mentioned the boy thinks he met the real Queen and that's okay with his parents.
YES, those are my shots to call.
Consuela, man, I'd mail you manatees if it were legal and useful.
I have decided to start enforcing meeting durations. If you sent me an invite for half an hour, I'm going to limit how much over I'll let it go, no matter what my calendar says. I hope I can train people this way, as well as get more accomplished.
