And of course NO ONE is in the 9:30 meeting yet.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fuckers.

My office recently switched to a new tech support company. There have been, shall we say, issues. This morning everyone arrived to find that, due to some changes the tech support people made, we have no office email. Which has brought most of us to a standstill.
We have someone on-site working on it ... hopefully, we'll be up and running before COB today.

Yep, looks like no meeting. This is the price I pay for having fun at con, isn't it.
Jesus, Toddson. I guess you all just sit there and twiddle your thumbs all day?

Wow, no email is bad.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dana, that is pure evil.
if the rest of your hair is dark, any semi-permanent dye (Manic Panic, Splat!, Special Effects, etc.) will dye your gray and leave a "gloss" of sheer color over the rest. If you're blonde (or pale ash brown, as I apparently am), the semi-perm will visibly stain your hair.

This also sucks. I suppose you can't just read a book until it comes back up, can you?
Thanks, Jilli! My natural hair color is very dark. I don't think anything will take to it without bleaching it first, but I didn't know if the semi-permanents would cover gray.
Today is TCG's first day back to work after our vacation to Cape Cod. I have made one onerous phone call, and I'm trying to figure out what I should be feeding a 1 year old. Every book has a different answer. Fun.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm feeling like a period of time with no email would be a blessing. Not productive, but a nice respite.
Booze? Dinner cruise or similar "experience"?
My parents don't drink and they booked themselves a cruise to all the Hawaiian islands. I've been giving tickets to concert or theatre events for gifts but I feel like I should step it up a little for this.
Hec, stripes would look amazing!

Ooh! They have rotating lunch stands at my office, and I don't know if these are new or if I just haven't checked it out on a Monday, but today's choices were Jamaican or Ethiopian! I went with Ethiopian and am pretty happy about it.

Also, imagine being 40 at your kid's wedding??
I think Grandma was 19 when my mom was born. I broke the family trend of marrying young although I guess my cousin picked up the slack. He's two years younger than me and a grandpa twice over.

Every book has a different answer.
Feed her what YOU want. By one she should be pretty proficient at eating just about anything.
