Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I kinda want people to come here, more for mocking than actual - ooooh, football - but I don't want to go elsewhere.

I will be watching the Owl from the airport, hoping the Seahawks somehow win again just to prove a point about Northwest teams.

Is the Owl thing this weekend?

Yes, it's this weekend.

I'm grateful we haven't been invited anywhere. Which means TCG can watch it while I read a book and occasionally check in on the commercials. TCG only watches 1 or 2 of the football games a year, which I am also grateful for.

Because books.

it's "ess-ay," precisely how it's spelled.

That's how I explained it to Sara!

I forgot to send interview~ma, though. But I'm glad it went well!

Our wings are not tired

I don't even know who's playing in it. I assume Seattle due to SA's post.

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

I just declined my Sunday school classes' party. I usually go and I'll watch the game. But I am kinda over church and a few specific church people and I'd rather be alone than with them.

Seattle and someone else I don't care about. I have a very casual relationship with American football. Not even friends with benefits, just an occasional one night stand.

Seattle and the Patriots, otherwise we wouldn't be watching it at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You can come over to my place and watch Puppy Bowl instead, if you want.

Superb Owl parties do tend to have yummy food, and I bet there will be other people there who don't care about the game.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I work with someone - she's higher up in the officer hierarchy and I work with her a LOT - who adamantly refuses to deal with any electronic information if she can avoid it.

We do a weekly electronic newsletter, which she has the final say on. She refuses to review the content before I send it over to the people who produce it for us. She prints it out, marks it up, and brings it to me to send off to the producers. We do mass emails, which she edits by printing them out and marking them up, indicating the text she wants linked ... which usually IS linked, but she refuses to go over them electronically.

We get PDFs that have to be reviewed; again, she prints them out (she prints from the unopened file - her Acrobat reader is out of date and she refuses to update it) and, again, marks them up.

Last week she had some questions about some of what our organization does (she's been with us for about a year, but prefers to remain oblivious to as much of the organization as possible) and refused to look at pages of our own website to get information and was FURIOUS that some of the information was only available as PDFs. Our membership structure - a mystery to her.

I've reached the point where I'm not going to go and dig things out and print them for her. She's an adult. She's younger than I am, so she can't say that she's too old to know about computer things. I'm worried, though, because I have my performance review in two days (THANK DOG she's not doing it) and I know she's been complaining to our mutual boss about me.

sigh ...
