sarameg, fwiw I'm swimming up the same shlt creek. No one wants to hear there's too much work.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Otoh, the frustration makes for really fast swims. Last couple of days, sub56. Almost got under 55s averages tonight. That's rare for me.

And everyone knows we have to much work. Just no one wants to take the hit.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We've discovered the little guy's not so fond of green vegetables. We tried feeding him peas, and he kept spraying them out of his mouth. Tonight was green beans, which ate a little, dribbled some out, then refused to open his mouth to eat any more. We'll keep trying...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That just saps a lot of strength at work, sarameg and Zen.

Their hiring another level of chief engineer whose responsibility will be to manage the balance higher up, as the level at which mgmt assigns the work, they don't have the pull to push back. Or something like that. But they're still in search mode.

My place hired another manager, from within, so thus taking away an editor. I'm super burned out. Supercalifragilistic.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
AND you get $10 to either eat an overpriced Snickers from the honor bar *or* towards your bar tab. So I'm going to have to get a snooty cocktail later.
Which Kimpton?
The Palomar. Love this hotel. I'm now leaning toward the overpriced M&Ms to eat on the flight home tomorrow.

The Palomar.
Nice! We'll be at the Monaco in a couple of weeks.

I want to slap my non-neuro norm cousin. I love him, but christ, when he crosses boundaries... I cannot not set him straight. Fallout will ensue.
