So the Baltimore Bike Party is riding through my neighborhood. As in end of my street and around the corner and thank god I have no plans for tonight because I don't think I'd be able to get in or out once they reach the 'hood.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that like "It must work because no one complained"?
With the perfect ingredient of "we didn't tell anyone to try it", so who knows how long they'd have gone on?
I think you just demonstrated why businesses need project managers
This is supposed to be operational, though. Someone needs to step up and manage status one way or another, and since he knows I'm out of the loop, what did he think was going to happen?
He ended up sending me a spreadsheet in the middle of the meeting and asking me to take over for him. Emergency. I don't doubt him, but still. I had to make stuff up, because STILL OUT OF THE LOOP.
Maria, I think you have a best possible current status. Fingers crossed!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You know, I'm way more excited about this potential job--with its increased responsibilities and expectations--as I ever was about the job I'm currently in. That says something.
I am trying soooo hard not to be bounce, bounce, bouncy in the office right now. Ridic. I have no clue how I'm going to make it through this weekend, because I want to know now, damnit.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Fingers knotted in a Star of David for you. Sounds super super promising.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Weather's been nice this week. They're talking about rain for tomorrow. Of course.

I am sad. I found the last Cost Market Plus Whatever Adirondack chair in the Los Angeles area, and *purchased* it to find out it can't fit in my car assembled. Now I have to do actual shopping to find one. Pfah. I wanted it for tomorrow.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I survived the Registry even though my wait was closer to 45 minutes than the 30 predicted, but given that it's close to the end of the month and all, I won't complain. And now I won't be driving on expired insurance or expired registration, so I feel like I'm slowly coming out of the extended funk I've been stuck on for the past couple of weeks....
