Congratulations Sheryl!
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Congratulations, Sheryl, Gary, and baby boy! This is so exciting!
That's a gorgeous poster, Suela. And go with the divestiture, shrift.
Oh, and may Ginger's tech have an itchy rash in an uncomfortable intimate area, thank the lord!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did I mention here that we're rearranging our office space to fit more people? So I'm in a different office, and my boss is in my old space. She's been in an office alone for a while, and we usually shut the door when we meet, because almost literally all we talk about is other people! Managing people in our team, issues with working with people outside our team, etc. Her new officemates find it very off-putting, which I think is hilarious, because one of the often meets with my grandboss with the door shut, and I had no compunction about walking in! I figure if it's that confidential, they go to the grandboss's office, and no way are they talking about me. Anyway. Office politics!

Sheryl, I am so happy for you and Gary.
My coworker, who is my age (42), is being honored for 25 years of employment. In the 25 years since I turned 18, I've lived in 5 states plus a foreign country (twice), and I can't even count the number of jobs I've held (some of them academic posts and projects, natch.) I cannot even imagine spending 25 years working at one place.

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

flea, congrats to your co-worker. Did he/she really start there at 17? Wow.
I'm in my 25th year at my company but I started here when I was 23. I've held a couple of different positions and have moved offices once. But they have kept me challenged and I like the work, so here I am.
Kindle did not start up this morning. It looks like it turns on, but it the touch screen doesn't respond. I'm so mad at myself. The flight home is going to suck. Or I could by a physical book to read. Those still do exist.

I've been at my current job for 19 years. Dunno how much longer I'll be here, but probably at least one more year.
ION, I'm tired and somewhat hungover this morning. I was planning on going to bed early last night, but instead I ended up doing vodka shots with Anna. But at least my feeling a little crappy was worth it.
