We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Happy birthday, Jessica! I hope you can get a nap in soon.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Loving this. Petition to have Macy's stop selling Donald Trump merchandise (yeah, I didn't know it was a thing either): [link]

Thanks Glam!

I am a very good Macy's customer, but I'm thinking of not being one until they get rid of that asshole.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sheryl, I hope they figure out what's up with Nova!

apparently there are 59 precincts in Philly where not one person voted for Romney.

I just scanned unofficial Boston lists, and there was one precinct that only had one Romney vote, but it only had 21 votes total. A bunch more had fewer than ten, though.

Favorite comment about the P4/Broadwell mess:

On paper, Ms. Broadwell's pedigree is quite impressive. As in the case of the woman astronaut who drove cross-country in a diaper, educated does not necessarily mean either ethical or sane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cautiously optimistic: UPS just called me to confirm when I'll be home tomorrow. (Which information I gave her on Friday, but whatever.)

Man I cannot shake this bad mood. I really should have stayed in bed today.

I have had one of those mornings that makes coming into the office feel worth it.

I KNOW.

But, seriously. Sometimes the face to face time makes a difference, and sometimes you still get work done despite potential distractions, and all those distractions did need to happen anyway.

There's a chick back who worked on a project with me with my original boss here. She took time off to have a cute baby, and she mentioned how different it was with him gone (she's not in our part of the org chart), and I had to say--I really underestimated the breadth of his impact. It's totally not just the people that worked for him, but in fact all the projects he was on that he affected markedly.
