Oi, 'suela. At least her complaints are about having to stay there, as if maybe that is finally sinking in? (I'm making this up as I go along, with fingers crossed for you & your family).
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Latest report from the front lines: my mother wishes we would all die in hell.
And if that's not possible she intends to make this life as hellish as humanly possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom, your Asperger's link is broken.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Asperger's to be dropped form DSM.
They're going with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I wonder how that will affect diagnosis and, more importantly, insurance and ADA requirements.

Ugh, we have had 2 couples cancel for our work party on Saturday. We are down to 79 people, which is just over half of what we invited. I hate empty parties.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I suspect not very much - all this does is to bring the DSM up to date with current medical practice. Asperger's has been a lay term only for a while now.

in all about me news, my big boss has decided that he really should spend more on the Holiday gift so now wants to add an apple gift card to the Nike+ fuel band. A gift card that would have cover mac's gift from me. hrrmmpph. I guess I get to figure out something to get from apple that I really do not need. Diamond shoes and all, but an amazon gift card would be much more useful.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Can you return it, or is it already in mac's hands?

Ah.
You know there's every chance someone around here has an Apple purchase in mind. I'll bet a swap could be arranged.
