Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm with Dana. It is his job to take care of himself. You have a good heart but it is up to him, really.

Work vent and question. So, I work with our contracts group when we need new Purchase Orders. We have one that was needed last week but apparently the contracts person didn't get the vendor set-up ahead of time, so I can't do anything until that happens. Today she sent me the vendor number info but said she can't award yet because she still needs more documentation. I asked if I should send her the requisition now so she can award once she has what she needs or if I should wait. Her response was "Frankly Scarlett".

I'm livid. So unprofessional. I just...I don't know what to do. I want to forward her response to her boss going WTF, I want her off this project right now (totally not my call). I sent a note to the project manager asking him to call me as soon as he can. I just totally don't know how to handle this from here. WTF!?!?!?!

Our wings are not tired.

If you're feeling well enough, you could just tell the class you have a cold, and if they're vulnerable they'll stay away.

Exactly. And wash your hands. Just saying.

Her response was "Frankly Scarlett".

Not cool. Is today her last day, if not then totally inappropriate.

Coding and Sleeping

The dog we are dogsitting is snoring. So cute.

Awww. Our beagle snores up a storm. Everything that dog does is loud.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I understand your concern, Tep, but isn't it up to him to take his own precautions? If he's that immuno-supressed, would he be going out?

I thought that, too. I guess I'm just super sensitive to stuff like that. I mean, I've gotten sick because my mom knew she had a cold and didn't stay home, and my immune system is normal. I just don't want to be Typhoid Mary.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jadzia is like that to the point where she started refusing ALL TREATS because sometimes I gave them to her after I did the topical flea treatment stuff. She was eating the glucosamine for a while, actually, but now I have to shove it into her canned food and hope she doesn't eat entirely around it.

Darby is very treat suspicious, always looking for the angle. She gets one after her last walk of the night but anything other than that? Probably a set up for...something. Anyway she's not having it.

Her glucosamine tablets she will not take by hand, but I drop it in her chow and she eats it first (and sometimes only if she's decided the chow is also a trick).

[For people who watched White Collar back in the day: I considered renaming her Mozzie when I got her. She would have rocked that name.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Mozz!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, I feel like I know Darby well if she's channeling Mozzie.

WTF indeed, Suzi.

Wow, I've never heard of April Ashley before, I'm glad I have now!

I talked with my project manager and was basically told to take it as a joke. He has been in contact with her multiple times a day. By now, I'm all...whatever. I still think it was rude and not a joke. But I'll worry about getting my side done and let him deal with her.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oops. I Snopsed an acquaintance's anti-Hillary FB post before remembering we'll be at the same party Saturday. I fully expect him to get in my face about it. I wonder how guilelessly I can say (with wide eyes) "Don't you want to make your decision based on *accurate* information???"

I'd better start practicing.

Of course, he kind of creeps me out, with close talking and inappropriate conversation, so I'm not too fussed about burning that bridge.
