It's so great when I have a meeting with my manager to say hey btw I saved $X million dollars this week already and then find out that we're going ahead with making me do the job I don't want to do.

I have one more thing I'm going to investigate that's a long shot, and then I have to figure out if I'm leaving the company or moving to the Bay Area. I guess that means I have to figure if there's anything in Chicago that I may want to try for, because if there isn't, that makes the decision easier.

That's bullshit, shrift. I'm sorry.

It would be the Bay Area's gain if it works that way, but I hope sanity prevails.

I was really trying to give Taylor Swift the benefit of the doubt, and she did get off a couple zingers and held onto her dignity well enough, but she seemed to be struggling to keep up.

To be fair, John Cleese was one of the people she was trying to keep up with, which I'm not sure is easy for anybody.

She may have gotten bees.

Good luck for some kind of good outcome, shrift.

I hope your long-shot comes through for you, shrift.

If I relocate to the Bay Area, at least I'll be able to watch most of my hockey games online on NHL GameCenter because they'll almost all be out of market? And it would allow me to put a lot of distance between me and Sales.

There are a huge number of cons I could list, but I don't need to feed my anxiety.

My cousin works in Ottawa and posted (on Facebook) a photo taken from her office of the shooting location at the War Memorial. It's directly in front of her office. (She seems to be calm and fine, but, whoa!)

(Edit, I guess she was not entirely calm because she misused an English word in her post - she's fully bilingual but French is her nursery tongue, and she called the man shot "a military" which is the direct translation from the french - a very unusual mistake from her.)

Scary.

It looks like one gunman is down, but they don't know if he was acting alone.
