I've been sooper effective and there still aren't hours in the day tomorrow to get everything done before I disappear for a week. And I kicked off a project that needs handholding. BUT if they handhold it right, they might be able to finish it for me while I'm gone. Woo!

Maria, the PIP is complete ass covering bullshit and everyone knows it. Ugh.

Laundrating, bed,asking, starting to pack. Well, once the laundry is done. And then I find out how much of my summer not work clothes are still presentable. I'd like to at least be wearing things without holes in them.

Oy, Maria, Sorry for the bullshit.

I need to pack tomorrow for vacation. We have a medical test for Grace tomorrow, which Katie is going to, then I have to pull all of our shit together to leave. Among the things we are packing? Pool noodles! Cheese! Prosecco!

I wish I was within arm's reach, Maria. I'd like to beat your boss stoutly about the head and shoulders. Same goes for Steph's boss.

Maria and Steph, you both deserve bosses who appreciate how awesome you are.

In other news, someone set up a crowdfunding campaign to bail out Greece.

A million euros in three days. Nifty.

I like the sound of your Things to Pack, Kat!

I have a nearly full bottle of vermouth to get through before I move. What are some cocktails I should make with it?

shrift, sweet or dry? I really like making this sangaree with dry vermouth: [link] - you don't even need the Allspice Dram.

Punting packing. Carried the suitcase upstairs. Realized dress I want to pack is air drying, used that as an excuse. Hell, it's only 11 days, most at my parents' where I can alway do laundry.

shrift, sweet or dry?

Dry, and that sangaree looks intriguing.

Edit: I'm drinking a gin martini with lemon right now.

I use dry vermouth to cook greens or that sort of thing, or to deglaze pans. Anywhere white wine would be called for.
