Oh the joys of googling at 6am because an acquaintance messaged you saying she's unfriending you on Facebook because she broke up with the guy who introduced you and is cutting off all contacts related to him, and did you know he's a registered sex offender? Oy. Happily not child related, but he has a 2008 felony conviction for rape AND a 2005 case for rape and sexual battery that resulted in acquittal. I knew he was a recovering alcoholic, so perhaps this occurred during the pre-recovery days, but given how hard it seems to be to get people charged with rape in this country, never mind convicted, that's kind of serious to me. This is a fellow parent at our kids' school whom we've seen socially a little bit, and I guess will move back to being an acquaintance.

Oh dear!

Yikes, flea!! That is more than a little disturbing.

I really love this. May have to tag it even.

Whips are weapons/noisemaker and lassos are for catch and restraint. Apple and oranges.

Takes notes to avoid getting on the wrong side of the migraine med-fueled maniacal Teppy in the future.

Just found out a semi annoying family from the dojo moved into our complex yesterday and the mom is already pinging me about doing things together. Kinda glad I'm off to SLC for a couple of days.

Dear felow passenger, hanging in the waiting area, did you know they make these magical things that can carry sound directly from your device to your ears? Blasting random YouTube videos is not on. No love, Me.

I'm trying a chia seed and coconut milk "pudding" for breakfast. If you add pecans it tastes pleasantly of pecans.

I actually think just posting a picture of the Catwoman cupcakes is an excellent response.

Probably would work in many more situations, too.

That's a lot of to wake up to, flea.

Wow, flea.

Uhg, flea.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me why so many IT projects here are implemented at a glacial pace; I'd always assumed it was because of security reqs but finding more that they don't really understand the concept of a test cycle. More of an endless development and firefighting phase and everyone cross fingers and pray. This is really, really painful. My team is about ready to kill them.

Back when I was part of usability at my last job.one of our tasks was to explicitly make sure usability was covered during the software development lifecycle. So I studied the documentation on the SDLC we'd been given, disagreed massively with my boss, and in the end, the group we gave it to?

Said they didn't use a formal lifecycle. Take a moment and look back on the most recent things you've been dinged for, and...
