We have 1 leftover issue from the weekend, and then we're done. And my manager has asked how I'm doing, so, remarkably, I feel better. I was wondering if anyone thought working 8:00AM Saturday to 10:00AM Sunday was just stuff people did. I'm gonna need to take some of that back in trade before I snap or pass out at the wheel.

Today is business formal, and why can't I ever tie a Windsor knot right the first time? I'm always following instructions, and I always remember "the tail needs to be short--no fixing at the end" and I still always make it too long the first time.

So...matching your tie colour to your shoe colour? Is that allowed? Well, I did, so it better be. I'm draggier today than most, because I'm also wearing a shrunken velvet blazer, but the purple paisley tie is the same shade as the purple shoes, getting worn SECOND WEEK RUNNING. Who am I?

Man, JZ, sometimes you remember how advanced medical science is, and pharmacology, and how many amazing things we know about the human body (and take for granted). It shouldn't be a surprise, but then again, we are taking more health things for granted than, say, 300 years ago, so it is a net win.

But it's frustrating when there are people in the way of knowledge.

It wasn't even that long ago they were worried about your bodily humours. I saw somebody peg "modern medicine" to 1839 with the understanding of cell structure.

Snow day! I got up at 4:30 all worried I'd missed something after a night of related dreams. (Incidentally, elevator technology in my dreams is way cooler than in reality.) But no. Local schools were all on a delay here, which wouldn't have helped me because there's supposedly more snow coming in this afternoon. I was going to try anyway, went out and shoveled, and under the snow was a thick layer of ice. Yeah, no.

So the Biscuit & I celebrated by going back to bed and now we're having cheese. And I am having cocoa. The SO is feeling on the mend, too. It feels slightly like a waste of a snow day, but my body is pretty happy about it.

DBT group therapy helped me and some other Buffistas, but 1) it's a specific structured format and 2) I am not Allyson, I suspect very much not Allyson, in that I like doing things in a group.

re: snow, we're very lucky to be getting the famous dry, powdery snow Utah is known for. It's kind of fun to be able to use a broom to clear three inches of snow and find a mostly dry surface underneath. Of course, when it's driven on, it becomes ice, so there's that.

Yeah, that's usually what we get, too, Connie, but since this was three days of rain turned into two days of snow, it was wet clumpy snow instead. And it was 14 this morning and won't get above freezing today, so the roads were unlikely to improve. Honestly, our neighborhood would have been the worst of it. All dirt roads out here, and the first paved highway won't get plowed at all in all likelihood.

The snow I was in last Friday was so glittery and light, it was like fake snow. The best kind!

that sounds like what we had last week, Liese. We just had all the ice ruts melt when this started. We call the pile of snow and slush and ice that forms in the street in front of our driveway the Khyber Pass. Hubby's SUV can get over it, but the Taurus has issues.

The prettiest snow, especially pretty when blowing around with sunshine sparkling off it.

We recently went through a BIG rebranding effort. Like, huge. And our logos on one of our sites just switched back to the old company names.

FREAKOUT.

Because, of course, we upgraded the content management system this weekend, and clearly everything that goes wrong for the next week will be our fault.

The point of a content management system, for those not familiar, is pretty much an edit once/publish many structure. You have one golden source, versioned even, so you can roll back 7 years that compliance requires, and tell what version was extant at which very second. But you have to respect the system.

Apparently when we rebranded, someone went out and copied over the logos with the new company names, so when those items were "accidentally" republished from the gold source WHICH WAS NEVER UPDATED....we're back in 2012.

Jesus Christ. It's still my team that fucked up, and it's the guy who's home with the flu, but it's not my system. Our upgraded system remains pretty blameless.

And the incompetent developer did clean stuff up my way yesterday after all. I guess one by one deletion of 3010 items seemed...unappealling?
