Super-Happy Birthday, tommyrot!
In news of my work eating my brain this week - Tom & tommy's news about reality unraveling was met in my brain with a debate about whether it's unraveling or fraying. Because there's a whole thing about sleeving, and it's apparently very important that it's unraveling not fraying, and and and...and if I never hear the word "sleeving" again it will be too soon.
LOL, JZ! Matilda's always good for a smile!
she was saying "foo is 40% above blah" and I corrected her with "blah is 40% below foo" (because it's a percentage of foo) and she said "I think we are saying the same thing". I do not have time to teach you that today, co-worker, I'm sorry!
I was halfway listening to a story on NPR in the car last night, and I'm pretty sure they were making a similar mistake (otherwise the numbers were ridiculous). I was so disappointed.
The weather where we are going is supposed to be highs in the forties lows in the thirties so I am loaded up with fleeces and whatnot. Because that is cold.
One day last week, the GM (who moved out here from Connecticut) commented because I was wearing boots and so were a several other people. I told her we're just like that meme (people at 50 degrees in Mich v people at 50 deg in Fla) - weather finally dropped below 70, so I could pull out my (fake) Ugg boots. t /other spoiled Californian
