Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Timelies all!

We ended up getting a little rain and no snow yesterday. They're predicting 1-3 inches tonight into tomorrow. We'll see...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

WS, that sounds utterly infuriating. Co-workers who undermine you are horrible anyway, but in this case, where she's undermining you on something involving the well-being of another human being who's got complex health, family and social issues -- RAGE.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Callaluna, I definitely will say hi! We work on the same campus, it's ridiculous that we go so long without seeing each other. Oh! let me know if Luna gets her postcard.

Stay safe, all those getting lots of snow.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yeah, it sounds nasty. And everything is already going to be a disaster tomorrow morning, since there is melting now, but then it's going to freeze again! Good thing I bought more ice melt yesterday, although my arms are now sore, since 12 lbs is more than I usually lift.

It's such a pain with TCG's work because he has a long commute. They very rarely cancel or delay his job and sometimes when they do he has already left because they wait too long to call him and let him know. And of course, I worry when he does have to drive in in bad weather.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Took the twins to the track for a run. Grace did 3 solid laps before she pooped out. Noah did 8. And now I am icing my foot.

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

Dang, stay warm folks!

Lee and I have been lingering over our morning coffee, but now we're transitioning to showers.

That's great about the running, Kat. Bummer about the ice.

The status is NOT quo.

Kat, which track do you use?

We got all of yesterday's weather as rain. And we're supposed to get rain as part of the next stormpocalypse too.

The only thing about storms during the week is that there is a faint hope of a snow day.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Be safe, people in the winter storm maelstrom.

Undermining me is cruddy. But I am kinda resigned to there being a certain portion of people who can listen to dietary instructions (including from dieticians. Did I mention we brought in a dietician to educate us about optimal meal planning. Guess who was not there?) and come away with the impression that they are already doing exactly what they should be doing therefore need to make zero changes. The part I'm RAGEing about is the way Mrs. Loves Carbs manipulates the younger coworker. Younger coworker knows it is happening, but does not know how to counter it without creating a bigger conflict so just gives in to it.
