"throwing shade". What does that mean?
They are Shadow Master, Master of Shadows?
None of it means a damn thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Isn't throwing shade an old school phrase? Maybe regional? I will have to look it up!

Urban Dictionary:
throw shade
to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitcy, uncool one
"How does Kimmy keep any friends? Last night at the party all she did was throw shade at people."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
All of the sudden I am seeing it everywhere! Especially in reference to Glee actors?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It probably gained currency because of Drag Race, but they define it in Paris Is Burning, so the term probably dates from the 70s.

That makes sense!

I mean, c'mon. Does the world need semi-aquatic rodents?
So you probably don't want to know about the ones that can fly, then?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This week is a bad pain week for me, and as a result, other people are mindboggling.
Web design is calling me in a frenzy because all their links are broken, and can I check if the web content management application is working?
Guys? You have a hyphen in your links that doesn't belong there.
That was half an hour while he kept me on the phone while he tried to fix it, which meant I missed the development review meeting where neurotic developer #1 re-reviewed changes that went in front of the board in October. That broke my heart, in a way that involves no heartbreak at all.
Neurotic developer #2 keeps inverting priorities so we can't deliver on our commitments, despite having made the commitments face to face with the users. It's like if someone's not looking over her shoulder telling her to do tasks that involve people not her, she won't. I swear, our team is a haven for developers with anxiety disorders who avoid contact with people outside the team, and avoid mentioning they're falling down on contact they were told to make.
I got so much achieved yesterday, though. Maybe I need to take a walk and come back and dive in...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, ita! I feel that I should apologize for the great thing that just happened to me: I got a call from the guy implementing the results of the earlier clusterfuck, where he said there was a problem and we needed to talk. I called him back, and....it is not at all a problem for me! I see where he was coming from, but it is fine! No issue whatsoever.
Phew.
