'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Woke up vaguely hearing sirens, but they sounded distant, so I was pretty surprised to find an ambulance and a fire truck in my cul-de-sac when I got to the front door. Not enough activity to tell which house they were at much less what was going on. I hope everyone down at that end of the street is okay.
I think I have met my excitement quota.
I'm not sure I'm excited about McAuliffe winning in VA. But I'm ecstatic that Kookinelli lost.
Rob Ford: The Audacity of Dope. It's almost like "Tommy Boy" took a really dark turn or something, isn't it? Although that joke dates back to conversation I with someone about Stringer Bell and what he would call his memoirs.
Fred, yeah, I feel you.
Rob Ford is a big story for Toronto, but not so much elsewhere. Kind of like Marion Barry in DC. Deserves big local headlines, but a side show everywhere else.
Annalee really didn't want to stop that feature
Well, that certainly makes me feel less good about her/them.
It's definitely not the site I fell for a few years ago, and I know I'm pretending when I think of it as us and Annalee & Charlie vs. Denton, but still. Ah, well. It's not mine.
Time zones are on my shit list.
Okay, so I made a dumb comment in a project doc on Monday. Coworker emails me to schedule a meeting, probably to tell me I'm being dumb, which is fair. I clarify that I made a mistake, but we're still having the meeting, whatever.
Only she emails at 1am my time to say she's scheduled the meeting. At 8am today. I see this when I get up, swear a lot, accept the meeting because I had my work computer on me, and rush to get ready. Join the call at 8am and I'm the only person on it.
With no notice, the meeting is now on my calendar for tomorrow at 8am, on a day when I already have approximately eleventy billion meetings. Now I get to wake up at 6am tomorrow and haul myself into the office just so that somebody can tell me I'm an idiot WHEN I ALREADY KNOW.
It's dark. It's raining. People didn't police their umbrellas on the train.
In conclusion, I hate everything and I'm leaving early.
Can't you decline the meeting saying you get it? I've been brushed off like that before, and it made sense.
Since I'm at fault, I'm going to it. But if it turns out to be useless, I'll know to decline in the future.

Oh, that's a cause for smiting.
