Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Hil, did you know WebAssign is down? What am I supposed to do about that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.

DCistas, be careful going home. It's starting to look ugly out there.

I was rushing to the end of the thread to bring up Tino, and tommy beat me. Webassign is the new Tino! 4eva!

I hope the hospital provides everything necessary, ita.

Steph, that sounds like a day and a half. I'm glad you're done with the civil paperwork.

Today has been all about video file formats and the software I don't have on hand to deal. Perhaps Webassign messed with it. Anyway, IT took care of it all. I should make them cookies.

ita, hope you get some relief.

I'm eating dinner now in hopes that the weather will clear enough to swim in an hour or two. It's iffy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's a wedding, Teppy. There is a special form of Murphy's Law that applies.

Back when I was in college, the bride of a HS buddy of mine sprained her ankle at the altar between the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner, after everyone but she, the groom, and the officiating minister had left the church. No one thought to call the families before going to the ER, so we had a houseful of people at the groom's parents' getting hungrier and antsier as the clock ticked and nobody heard from them. At one point the groom's mother, one of the meekest, most polite people I've ever met snapped and screamed "WHERE'S THE DAMN PREACHER?!?" at the top of her lungs in front of the whole wedding party.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday P-C!

Hugs to all who want them.

My stress level is pretty good, though the weekly phone call from my folks doesn't help. (I am an adult, and have been so for many years. I do =not= need my dad to remind about things I know need doing. Sheesh.)
