Sorry, Suzi. It's something that baffles me.

I have something like 4 hours of meetings tomorrow. Including the Big One. I think I can get through it without swearing, I did that a lot today at our branch meeting. And 2 more hours on Friday. But that's ok, because the schedule is slipping, so there's more time for testing...but oh wait, we all have vacation to burn off, and that screws up the few weeks we had of more regular work responsibilities. As of right now, taking 3 full weeks around holidays, and another full week somewhere else, most of us still need to take a day off every other week until 2015. THIS IS GONNA WORK SO WELL.

My notCSC boss is practically hyperventilating. This is 3/4 of her staff, and the one who is getting screwed by not having enough vacation is largely tasked on testing at Goddard, so not free for coverage here. ( and she's pissed about being forced to take a week at Xmas because she's not even Christian. We think we can get her an exemption as emergency staff since lightning strikes at Goddard this weekend nearly ruined everything and now they are mandating 24-7 coverage.)

And for a change of pace: animal sex practices on pbs! Elephant bulls dribbling pee in musth!

...I don't think this is how you do angry sex.

Our wings are not tired.

Meeting~ma in abundance, sarameg. I really hope that reasonable minds prevail and that a solution is worked out.

Why do some adults have such a hard time communicating?

Yeah there is this, SuziQ. There is a lot of that going around. Clue x 4 treatment would be recommended, but likely ineffective.

Seems reasonable to me.

It's a long game, I don't think it can be solved the next 5 months. But later.

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

My sister injured herself the other morning because her legally blind self though she saw a mouse in her bed and she tried to throw herself out of it--scraping shin and thigh against the riser into her bathroom.

No clear evidence of mouse, but the primate is walking with a limp, so one point to the imaginary quadripeds.

What do you do when you forget how to draw again? I should know by now, the number of times I do it...

Probably just keep drawing until you remember again?

For those who really really hate spiders.

That happened across the street from a friend of mine. She texted me to tell me about it and ended the message with FIRE IS NOT ALWAYS YOUR FRIEND. DO NOT SET FIRE TO SPIDERS.

I like spiders, but since I also endorse not burning down your house, spray paint dries fast, just spray paint it and run away for a bit, damnit.
