Not by my clock. Delete often is not really delete.
Thank goodness I have paranoid habits about always keeping backups of repository folders on my own machine. That was an exciting few hours.

That is a beautiful thing to read. Well done.

Woo! I'd say that chocolate vodka can be used to celebrate now.

Tried to go see Frankenstein at a local movie theatre and they were sold out.
Which reminded me that I've been craving rewatching Plunkett & McLeane, Netflix does not have it, nor does iTunes. And I'm re-exploring Netflix after several years: do they not do trailers anymore? I'm disappointed all around.

I cannot sit without a cat on my lap. Given the forecast, I juuuust might make it to November 1 before turning on the heat. But I probably need to bring in my jasmine plant before Halloween if I want it to survive another winter.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Phew, Jilli! I agree that a celebratory vodka is in order.
You are not a failure, Burrell! You are doing the best you can.
Thanks but... I think I need to be trying harder. To not get mad, to keep my daughter on task, etc. But that still might not address the bottom line, which is what do we do if we think she's struggling so hard to meet expectations and address work habits that she's not actually learning the materials all that well? That's my current worry.

I think, when I hand out candy, I should sit on my porch in my prom dress, sawzall, crowbar and a piece of the concrete board remainders on the table, work gloves and my safety glasses and vent mask. Maybe an old pot of paint and a roller. I'll be HandyWoman.
The parents'll get it.

I have no advice, Burrell, but I think you are kind of awesome for worrying about that.
Hooray for cats getting home and files not being permanently lost!
Good luck with the QA job, Connie. Having the head of the department tell you you ought to apply should totally boost your confidence.
I didn't finish shopping (for general Halloween stuff and specifically pumpkin carving stuff and also cubicle-decorating stuff that I feel I have been peer-pressured into and only after all that groceries) until after seven, when Frankenstein started, so I guess I will try to make the Wednesday showing. If it is not sold out. I should have all the ingredients for the s'more pie I'm making for the inexplicably BBQ-themed potluck on Friday, so that's not hanging over me at least.
It may be because I am very hungry, but this TJ's Kofta in Marinara sauce is really very tasty.

If she didn't think I could do, I don't think she'd go out of her way to tell me about it. And they can't say they don't know my work. Hopefully I won't run into "we can't lose anyone off the phones!" again.
