In regard to the potato chip deliveries - we don't have that, but we do have Insomnia Cookies which promises to deliver WARM cookies at all hours of the night.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hi, Suzi!
Ugh, Toddson. I hope you get a break soon.
I went out for an hour and a half and got a gift for my mother, a gift for my niece, cards, pez dispensers for the niece and nephew, and coffee for me and my father-in-law.

move out and draw fire
You know what sucks? When someone you interact with a lot turns to you to vent about stuff in their life, and you can see that they are making bad choices, but you know it's not your place to say anything, and they won't appreciate it if you do.
My new coworker has 3 kids. The middle one is being tested for autism, but in the meantime her issues have required that she be pulled from school and be home schooled. Both parents work, so the other one adjusted her schedule to be home 2 weekdays. The girl is thus alone for 3 days a week. On those days she does nothing but call my coworker so that he has to talk her down.
She's 11, so it's not like leaving a 6yo at home alone, but it's clearly not a good situation. And all I can do is put on my headphones when the phone starts ringing and then let him vent about it.

Our wings are not tired.
Yikes, that is not good at all, Volans. I'm hoping that he knows this is not a good solution.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Blech. Just canceled my classed for tomorrow. I can still barely walk, and now my hand and wrist are starting to feel a little numb, which I know means they'll be painful and swollen by tomorrow, which will mean that using my walker won't really be an option.
Stupid body.

Volans, that sounds like a terrible amount of freedom for that kid.
Hil, I'm sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That sounds miserable, Hil.

Bodies are stupid, Hillary. Right now my jaw hurts so much I want to cry. Ibuprofen doesn't touch the pain. I'm wavering between an edible or Vicodin at bedtime.
Reports of those laid off are slowly rolling in. So far I know two of the contacts folks who are now gone. Both are excellent employees but the company is moving most of the accounting and contacts work to our office in Poland. I'm sure I'll hear more names tomorrow. I can do a company directory search on Monday.

Funny baby story: we were watching Empire tonight after putting ltc to bed, and we could hear her moving about. So we check the monitor, and she's dancing to the music in her crib. It was so funny.
