I'm wearing a sparkly beaded bracelet that I bought at DragonCon. It has a magnet clasp, which makes it super easy to put on, but it also means that I'm randomly finding myself stuck to metal things today.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Who just put on Facebook the guy running for governor of something who had "governor" misspelled on his website?

I did, for one. It's things like that that make Georgians pray not for competent politicians, which is too much to expect, but just for ones who aren't embarrassing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG a full-time support (not tech, business) person forwarded me a support case, and I'm walking a frustrated but nice guy through Outlook setup of a random version that isn't the same version I have and of which I have zero screenshots just "don't change the other settings, mmkay?" and the other support person is on the line too, and this guy has had a periodic error message since yesterday and no one called him back and...oy.
I got rid of his error message, and got him a workaround for sending email, but his Outlook is only 2/3 fixed. Where is that escalate button again????

The phones...the phones have stopped ringing...this is the first time in a day and a half that I've joined the queue and it hasn't rung immediately. If I get my TiVo to Weaknees before 3:30 they will attach the drive today.
Also it hurts and I want to cry, but that's besides all the pointses, as they say.
IT RANGGGGGGG!!!!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kat and Lee, sorry about such awful news.
The town is freaking out here because someone tried to kidnap an 8 year old girl from a playground on Sunday night during a Jazz festival. Walked up, called the girl by her name and told her he was supposed to take her to her parents (who were nearby, but not in sight). He led her away and she started crying. A couple stopped and asked her if she was ok. He wouldn't let her answer but said she was "fine." Her playmate started yelling for her and she started crying so the guy sat her down at a picnic table at the edge of the park and said he was going to use the restroom. He then disappeared. By the time they got back to the girl's parents and called the police, 20 minutes had gone by and he was long gone.
Commence massive freak out. This is a small town and I'm used to letting my kids run.
