So I realized that my quick acceptance of a temporary 4-day work week with raise starts next week (three day weekend, hello Boston!) and that ED isn't in this Friday, and I don't know if he told boss lady of the new sitch. I'll text him later, but now I'm wondering if it's his responsibility or mine to inform boss lady that I'll be absent a day longer than she might normally expect. (I'd like for him to do it, since he has more authority, but I want to be able to pose the query so that that responsibility is made clear that it is his job, and not mine. But I'm not sure and need a little validation [for being a chicken shit].
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I wonder what your friend distinguishes as merely femme.

I think "I wanted to make sure you knew I would be out X day per my new schedule assigned by Boss." should be sufficient.

I am feeling stupid. Why do I keep seeing "ICYMI" on Twitter; what does it mean?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
By the way, when he went on his walk on Sunday, had he just taken off? Or was that a usual routine walk he'd take for himself and this time it just didn't work out?
He would go for a walk by himself a fair amount, I guess, but this time my mother was just downstairs for 45 minutes, and he took off. BTW, she did talk to EMS and found out exactly how and where they found him -- someone who had seen him on TV called 911.

Ah, thank you, Sue. Now I am less ignorant!

It took me FOREVER to figure out that FTW was For the Win and not some deliberate mixup of WTF, so I understand the feeling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jesse, I don't know if you guys are at this point yet, but with my grandfather, they ended up installing an alarm on the door to alert them if he tried to go out by himself.

It's a good idea, but I don't think my mother could deal with it! I wish I could get them all out of that house, honestly.
