I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Oh my god, Becky!

Look at her butt. It is so big.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If he were here, I would correct him. Over email I won't. My email signature is my full name. Take that as a prompt! Perhaps someone on HR should be better at such cues.

Shrift, having never met me you have no idea how funny that is.

Plei, I suspect your mom and my stepdad might be related.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Someone in HR should absolutely know better. We are a very first-names-only company (for whatever reason) and all the Jennifers, for example, get nicknames in part so we can easily tell which Jennifer we're talking about, but anyone who goes by a nickname gets to pick that nickname, or at least explicitly approve it.

Oh, mom of Plei.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our finance department now has a Jarid and a Jarod, and the new one had to tell people he didn't like being called J-Rod. But it's so fun!

I have had a call, written a couple of things, have pork braising for later pulling, and this on the stove for lunch. Not bad! Eventually I'll have to go shovel, I guess, but I'm mostly waiting for the neighbor to run the snowblower, since it's so light that should pretty much do it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

She's a lovely person, truly. Just... well. Like that.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have a good friend on FB who is delightful and wickedly funny in RL but on FB it just comes out really snotty. I brace myself when I get a notification that she's commented on something.

I am so sick and tired of people who use a computer program for their livelihood and who think not knowing how to use a computer is something to be proud of. Then they're all smug that they've forced me to have to connect into their system so I can browse to the folder they need.

"Go to CompanyName.com."
"Where's that, in the program?"
"That's our website."
"So I need to go on the Internet."
"Yes."
"So I need to open up my browser?"
"Yes."

"Do you know how to get to your C: drive?"
"No, what's that?"

These are not little old grandmas trying to figure out how to do email. These are businessmen who work on a computer every day as part of their work. I accept that they don't like having their lack of knowledge highlighted, but stop acting like knowing how to find your way around a computer is something they're too special to do!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's funny how differently people come across in different circumstances.

Before I forget to say it, I learned something today: Liese's pictures don't begin to do her justice

Aww, thanks. It was really good to see all of you.
