Sox, if it is any consolation, HPF and K will have each other to talk to about their screwed up mothers. It's a family tradition!
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh my, Sox. I hope you can find a way to drown out the negative with memories of the sights and sounds of the beach.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got 2 calls from directors last night (neither of them mine) asking me to man the phones today for a few hours to work through the backlog of customer calls following a problematic software rollout last weekend.
I don't have much visibility into how the rollout went--I just know that as of Wednesday EOB people couldn't get into our flagship application. On the rollouts I've worked on, there's a point at which you roll back if things suck. I'm not sure why a) that many errors slipped through b) there is/was no rollback.
I'm way more out of the loop since the transfer--I'm doing my best to drag my manager into buzz of what's happening, but I'm getting more and more buzzless, and since they moved me, I'll be even more buzzfree.
So most of IT will be call centre this morning. You don't say no the first time the first director name checks the CIO, but that doesn't make it enjoyable.

Because books.
That's fantastic. Although in my head Bert's head would be on Ernie's shoulder.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think they are a couple!

Because books.
There are places I won't go in my imagination when it comes to characters from childhood, but I'll say this: I think they'll always live together.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I love this New Yorker cover:
Wow. That actually made me tear up just a little.

The alleycat that I've been trying to get used to me for weeks now finally decided I'm a friend after being bribed with some chicken from my lunch this morning. Though he was later disgruntled that the tomato I set down to pet him didn't smell edible.
