Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ita, I just came back online and saw your message. Kids are heading to bed, so let me know if you still need someone to run out and get some stuff for you.

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

Polgara saved my bacon, so thanks for offering, guys. I'm drinking the G-ade dilute and it's still incredibly sweet. Not used to it.

We once requested screenshots to use in online training, and the company faxed them over.

That reminded me of a woman I worked with who would literally cut and paste her documents once they'd been printed out. I didn't check for hard returns, but I suspected them.

So glad Polgara was there for you, ita.

And yeah, maybe consider investing in some ensure or something else you know you can tolerate on bad days.

Me, I got home to discover that TNG had not recovered as well as I'd thought from the sedation: poop all over the new carpet in the living room. (WHY not poop all over the kitchen floor, dog?) Which means that tomorrow she spends the day in the garage, poor thing.

Did some networking at a local brewery after work, yay.

Polgara is a superhero!

We went to a magic show that one of the students at my school in NoHo hosted as a fundraiser for the soccer team. The twins loved it. The kid who performed is surprisingly good. This is one of the pieces he performed though this one is taped from the Magic Castle. [link]

Kat, I am so glad about your new school. It looks really interesting to me. You know my education history

Word (tweet?) apparently got out to a flock of house sparrows that I have food. There are probably 30+ mobbing my deck. Plus clumsy doves.

They are nicer to each other than the doves.

JFC, testing just ran into major performance issues. This is a major redesign and we're pushing up against some hard deadlines and… I can't even.
