"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.
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.
Thanks all.
I will note that in DC, strip clubs were known for having awesome food, super cheap.
Which felt like one more advantage that already privileged guys could take advantage of.
