Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And DBF, because he had the temerity to call them out on their racist bullshit, was banned from the group. These are ignorant, ignorant people, and this is exactly why I'm scared shitless for this election.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oh, ugh, Maria.

I'm . . . happy, I guess? that the most Republican person I'm close to can't stand Trump. This may be the first presidential election she's gonna sit out in 36 years. So her FB feed has a lot of puppies and boats and I can go there without fear of rage blackouts.

And then there are the others, but screw 'em. I'm happy to defriend anyone who's not my big sis.

In non-election-related news, I got "exceeds expectations" on my yearly review yesterday. The three possibilities are needs improvement, satisfactory, or exceeds expectations, so I'm pretty happy. At my previous job, i singlehandedly saved a multimillion dollar contract that I wasn't even assigned to, and I still only got "satisfactory" that year, but I suspect they decided what they wanted to do with staff and rated accordingly instead of the other way around. While the nine months of unemployment sucked, I'm so much happier at my present job.

Our wings are not tired.

I have a few Trump lovers in my FB feed. I'm not going to bother to waste my time until after the conventions. See tag.

Clinton is going to clean the floor with Trump.

I don't know. I would think so when he hits a more diverse electorate in the general, but my gut says it's going to be close. A lot of people really hate Hillary and maybe that will get a lot of angry white guys to the polls.

Hard to see how he overcomes the electoral advantage Hillary has with a close race though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Still don't know what to do about Muppet. At least I know the bridge situation will be relieved (a little, with a temporary) so that I can bite and talk without pain later today.

In the meantime, I'm working on my latest Udacity project, and trying to get my head around function closure. Which I am terrifying close to understanding.
