You are the worst, Jesse. I feel kind of bad for the people on my team in my old job because I have rather high expectations for them based on what I know I could do...or what I believe I could do at least!

I will hit the pharmacy for a meds refill today anyway, so I'll pick up some Benadryl. Grr. I have no idea what I could be allergic to, I've never had any food or medication allergies?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I need an alibi for the author I'm about to murderize. He submitted a table that was far too wide (it had over 20 columns, which just won't work [also, man, you need to rethink how you present data in general because ain't nobody gonna read all that]). We told him it needs to be smaller and suggested he split it into 2 tables. He sent the 2 tables to me today, so I edited and formatted them, because they were brand new and hadn't been seen by us before.

I emailed to ask him a question about the article text (not the tables), and he replied with "I split the wrong table into 2, so I will send you the right tables later today."

I wasted an hour editing and formatting his stupid new stupid tables, and they weren't even correct??? And now I'm going to have to spend more stupid time editing and formatting his stupid new NEW stupid tables????

There is no emoji or meme for my level of rage right now.

I feel your pain, Steph. I spent a good amount of time last week documenting new features. Then I asked the developer a question about something, and she mentioned that oh yeah, the UI for that isn't final yet. Despite the fact that it's marked as done and tested. No, it's fine. I love taking new screenshots and rewriting stuff. I live for it.

ION, I'm hoping that Trump's thing with the judge in the Trump U case, and his utter refusal to back down from being an idiot and a racist, keeps snowballing. May this be the first step down the path of a humiliating loss.

Wait, can we talk about something really important, guys?

Can you make waffles with cake batter? Asking for a friend.

I'm sure you could put cake batter in a waffle iron. I mean, there are all sorts of Pinterest things for putting stuff in waffle irons. It might get puffy.

Our wings are not tired.

No idea, but I would be willing to taste test!

ON, I'm hoping that Trump's thing with the judge in the Trump U case, and his utter refusal to back down from being an idiot and a racist, keeps snowballing. May this be the first step down the path of a humiliating loss.

To most of us it is just the latest in a long list of offenses, but there does seem to be more offended noises coming from his "supporters".

I am having moderate satisfaction in my FB challenges. Even managed to get a couple people to take down "bullshit and lies" posts after killing them with facts links.

In Delray Beach land we are sitting around watching the storm roll by. Thank you Colin for well needed rain. Not battening hatches or anything, but blustery enough that I brought in the chairs from the driveway so they wouldn't go through the window or something unfortunate like that.

We here in insurance adjuster support land are watching Colin suspiciously, as that's not a typical storm track. I've gotten weirdly fascinated by storm tracks in this job. I've got multiple weather tracking websites bookmarked.

That's the first time I've felt like cheering something a Texas politician said since Ann Richards retired!
