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.

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

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Sheryl, the fun of feeding a baby. ltc finds it hilarious to blow raspberries with food in her mouth. So all my clothes are lightly decorated with baby food. She has made faces at certain foods, especially fruit, but so far she hasn't refused to eat anything. She's too much of a piglet for that.

Uhg, neighbor confirmed Jeep keened all night long last night. And when I go outside, I can hear him. But my cats would freak out if I brought him over, even in carrier. And he'd probably keep us up all night. He wants his human. He's started cuddling with me when I hang over there, but he'd probably freak out over here too. Poor pup.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
People getting a ride in a Tesla in insane mode.
JZ's dad got a Tesla and he did this to us twice last weekend. It's...insane. Unbelievable G-force.
In other news, my ears are literally bright red and burning because I am LIVID about work bullshit.
I made Matilda touch them and she was impressed with how hot they are.
I'm trying to come down off the adrenaline and NOT email my actual thoughts about the FUCKING ASSHOLE who blew his deadlines and tried to throw me under the bus.
Guess what, weasel fucker? There's this little thing called email where all of our interactions are completely documented showing that I gave you tons of reference images, made myself available, followed up, initiated phone calls and was genial and professional.
Gott dam.

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.
Grr argh, Hec

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anyway, the asshole is off the project because...I had all the emails.
Unfortunately, that really fucks our presentation because we're pitching to CEO of Marvel in a couple of weeks and we need to finish the art. Gah. Agita.
