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.
Bunnies frighten me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks, Suzi, Eide Shoma Mobarek! It sounds like a lovely holiday.
I wish I'd known about the new clothes, I have new stuff I could have worn today. Well, my shoes are new, at least.

Suzi, that sounds awesome.
I'm at school and have arranged a day for me to get caught up on nonsense I cannot stay caught up on (AKA grading).
Now if I can actually get anything done!
