I have a week off in July. I've been struck by the idea of going to Vegas for two nights in the middle of that week. I checked flights and hotels through Travelocity and found a deal I could easily afford. Does anyone have any sites they like better than Travelocity? (Might anyone be interested in meeting up in Vegas the second week of July?)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Dear PM, if I find out that your response to me not somehow magically creating extra time to fix your poor planning is that you're going to have the devs write publicly-released docs, I WILL SET YOU ON FIRE.

Most of these incidents are suicide.

I'm not the only one who saw tommy responding to Jilli, right? The PMs are committing suicide by Jilli!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I didn't edit and quote Teppy's comment because I was on a crowded bus. I think I'll leave it the way it is now.

I'm only home 25 minutes later than I would have been. I think I'll go work out.

I think I'll go work out.

Don't go near any trains. Or project managers.

is billytea around? I'd like to know what kind of animal this is. Shark? ray of some sort?

Looks like a shark to me. Rays and skates have much wider fins around the body.

Not billytea but I'm pretty sure it's a shark, possibly a zebra shark. I like zebra sharks.

The status is NOT quo.

I am so sad and sorry about Baltimore, Lisah and Sarameg, and Maria. I should probably be angry too, but my rage reserves seem empty right now.

This.

The Chicago Tribune has a short article on the train/pedestrian accident but it doesn't say much. But there are two comments to the story by witnesses that made me glad I didn't get a better view of the body. Ugh.

My train was one stop away when it happened. If the guy had arrived at the next station a little later (and assuming it was a suicide) it could have been my train that he stepped in front of.

Also, when my bus drove past the body, about half of the people sitting stood up to get a better view. I did too. Human nature....
