This is our "Holiday Offering" to the housekeeping staff.

Holiday offering is definitely a skeevy way of putting it. Very "alms for the poor".

Wish me "get through this day" ma. I had a come to Jesus with an employee last week but in the ensuring days I've discovered that she's fucked this project up way more than I even realized at the time, so now I get to go in and let her go today and try to salvage this critical project. And I just locked myself out of the house. FML.

Homemade, delicious and survivally!

Totally good present, Steph.

Happy late bday, Consuela! New bikey!!!

Jessica, AH HA HA, with a side of bitter tears. If this thing doesn't end up on Shakesville as today's "This Is So The Worst Thing You're Going To Read All Day," I shall be severely disappointed.

In what is wrong with people news, last night when I went to bed, I had a cheap version of this [link] on my lawn, but this morning it's not there anymore.

That really sucks, Lee. Stealing holiday decorations is just really low.

Good luck today, brenda.

Brenda that sounds awful! I hope you have someone with a key who can let you in. And that the project is easier to fix than you thought.

I am so sleepy. I shouldn't be, but I tossed and turned all night.

Don't know, JZ, click bait? I mean, if you click it cause you hate it, still traffic.

Yup. The Atlantic is getting Slate-ified. So disappointing.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, folks! And I get to continue celebrating because my flowers are in my office and they're lovely. And I'm meeting my niece for lunch--she gets back from her semester in Chile today!

On the down side, I scheduled at teleconference for tomorrow at 2 PM, except tomorrow is the holiday party, which is off-site. I don't really want to miss it, but I hate rescheduling the meeting at this late date (we set the date two months ago!). Sigh.
