Oh, Overstock. You said the estimated delivery would be on the 11th, and yet you shipped it today. You think you're doing me a favor by sending it early, but you are not.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Blargh. Will the apartment complex hold it for you?

Is that the non-glare acrylic, Matt? That's what I was going to suggest.
I think the stuff I'm thinking of is actual glass, but unbreakable for household purposes.
EDIT: Nope, I'm wrong, it's laminated polycarbonate.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sorry for those having sucky days.

I hope so. I'm not sure how long they'll hold things so I need to check my lease.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
we've basically established that no one has any real grasp of change management
Wait, there's an actual thing called "change management"? My organization manages change by throwing change at us and waiting to see who dies from it.

Yes, I suspect the concept of change management came from someone who got tired of ducking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha. I just had to tell my new hire that our boss is leaving. So that's fun for her.

Isn't that what they make armored car windows out of?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks, everybody, I am in a much better mood now. Turns out insisting the family take a walk by the beach together was the thing to do. I love the bluffs.
Oh, Burrell, be kind to yourself. Every time I see the kids, I'm always struck by how lovely and happy they seem to be, and how much they enjoy engaging with people on topics they're passionate about. The love in your household is evident. I'd say you're doing OK.
Aww, thanks for this especially. I do like watching them grow up.
OK so the plan now is pick up lunch, eat it here, and then pack up the car and go.
