It does seem like WNGWJLEO should have something to do with West Wing.

"I like the chicken wings."

Which... she does know that there are places you can get chicken wings without the complimentary naked ladies, right? Or is that a value added thing for her?

those zombies are not going to chase themselves. Or will they?

Well, some of them are getting sekrit messages to chase people, you know... Which I shouldn't say anymore, because I think I'm ahead of you. Spoilers, sweetie!

And season 3 starts in April! I suspect I will not catch up for some time, especially if I go back to work, since I only do ZR when I'm running by myself, not with my sister.

Congrats, Brenda!

You are definitely ahead of me, Consuela! The 5K training all takes place before Mission #2 (of season 1, I guess? I haven't needed to get that sorted that out) so I have LOTS of catching up to do (starting in April, after I actually run a 5K!). I am getting teeny hints of story, mostly - it's already terribly interesting.

Maple syrup or nutella in your coffee sounds like it might be worth trying, meara. Hooray, Mexico!

I just did something that was very painful. I went through all my shoes and threw away a few, make a huge pile to take to a couple of consignment places, and packed the few remaining comfortable shoes. All my beautiful high, high heels that are cute, but walking is to be kept to a minimum are in the to-go pile. Sigh.

Good job, Suzi! I know that's hard.

Survived final day of program mgmt class. Again, not bad. Did get a couple hints as to why I might be chafing: 1. At lunch, the trainer basically told me that I didn't probably didn't need the class, though the formalization of some step probably would help a bit. She asked if I ever got frustrated as a member of a team, and why. Thinking of some recent projects, I gave a few examples and she pointed out that the points of friction were places where the team leads were deviating/failing to follow standard practices in PM=what I though should be the next step/info.

So basically, I'm a good problem solver and when I see bad problem solving that I can't change...yeah.

Not that I'm a super-special genius or anything. I've had very good modeling over the years from our dev/test/ops team, and my years on the helpdesk probably help me have a good nose for sussing out personality and politic issues.

2. I wasn't really being challenged. Makes me bored.

Got an unsolicited compliment on my hair. That was nice.

AND AND AND! I got paired up with one of my favorite snarky scientists from an old project. We're to follow up with each other on our new projects. I picked an onerous task I've been avoiding for a couple years that will make my life easier, but every one else is content with the status qu. Bor-rrring. But his? His is planning a wedding party/reception/throwdown for him and his husband. Who is an archeologist who will be off working in Iraq in a couple months so they have to do all the planning now for this fall. I told him he got a shitty deal from me, but I want to hear ALL ABOUT THIS OMG SO FUN!

I think I win.

He's planning his wedding as part of a project management class? Love it.

So, I don't think I like PV as much as the little town Brenda and I stayed in last year (too big, too ridiculously touristy) but I do love that there's a ton of gay men here wandering around (there's a gay beach and some clubs, so it's become a thing).

I love that his new project is a personal project. NEAT.
