No-Rouz Mobarak, Suzi!
I had a whole section about civic pride.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this information.
Hope someone in the first round sucks?
Suzi, is No-Rouz Mobarak the holiday or the greeting? I want to get that right if I can cram the info into my swiss cheese brain.
Also autocorrect is trying to deny me my wrath.
It's like you were re-dubbed for TV

Ah, my favorite thing: I sent an email to a group. Someone wrote back to all saying a whole nother piece of work needed to be done. I wrote back to all asking who would be doing that piece of work (because it damn sure isn't me and everyone should know that), and..... crickets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss is having an angry conversation with his wife (I think) on the phone.
I hate being around angry people--it makes me really uncomfortable. Even when it's nothing to do with me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for good news on the boss front, msbelle!
And happy Persian New Year, No-Rouz Mobarak Suzi!
Is this the holiday where all the Persian gather in a park and have picnics and make generally awesome revelries? There was a park in Irvine where everyone would gather in Spring and it was always so much fun to go.

I don't blame you, anger is really toxic, tommyrot.

I'm gonna disagree with that. I think anger is okay, but it's very easy to express in toxic ways.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Eide Shoma Mobarak is the greeting.
Yes, Burrell. You also wear new clothes and visit friends. If I were properly unpacked I'd set up a Haft Seen, which is a table with seven S's.
The Haft Seen items are:
1.Sabzeh - (Persian: سبزه)-wheat, barley, mung bean or lentil sprouts growing in a dish - symbolizing rebirth
2.Samanu - (Persian: سمنو)-sweet pudding made from wheat germ - symbolizing affluence
3.Senjed - (Persian: سنجد)-dried oleaster Wild Olive fruit - symbolizing love
4.Sir - (Persian: سیر)- garlic - symbolizing medicine
5.Sib - (Persian: سیب)- apples - symbolizing beauty and health
6.Somāq - (Persian: سماق)sumac fruit - symbolizing (the color of) sunrise
7.Serkeh - (Persian: سرکه) - vinegar - symbolizing old-age and patience

Spring is lovely, but we always get snow in April, and sometimes in May, so it's not such a big deal.

Whoops, sorry about that. Eide Shoma Mobarak!
