Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Third post in a row!

Texas representative tells Trump to "take your border wall and shove it up your ass."
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.

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

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!
I'm not sure if I should be worried about Miss Kitty or not. She is 15ish, has lost a weight and but isn't completely bony. She doesn't always groom herself as well as she used to. I've had to comb/cut out mats from the side she usually sleeps on.
But it is recent slightly odd behaviour that has me curious. Normally she and Noodle stay upstairs. They will venture far enough down the stairs to look into the livingroom and meow at me. We have a baby gate at the top of the stairs so that they can have a break from Jack when they want. Kitty has no problem swatting him when he gets to eager but Noodle hasn't figured that out. But I digress. The last couple of days, Miss Kitty has ventured all the way downstairs and onto my lap in the afternoons. Jack knows to give her space, but it is just odd - she hasn't spent much time down here unless she knows Jack it gone.
Other than that, she is acting fine, has her normal appetite, orneriness, etc.
