We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

JOBS. BAH.

That's all I have to say about that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My boss emailed me at 11am linking to a report that I have never seen nor maintained, he says the last 2 weeks of data that are missing need to be completed by 3pm and I can find the data needed on specific papers in my office. 1) those papers only gather about half the data needed. 2) the personnel filling out these papers have been half-assing it and data is missing or incomplete on many many papers.

Boss man got what I had and I (internally) made sarcastic sad face at him.

Now the report has been given to me to maintain going forward, emails and in person discussions have happened with all supervisors of the yayas who supply the data. I either get correct papers and info needed or emails go out as needed to various boss people.

Unreal that this nonsense was going on. Either the previous maintainer ran down data all the time or he made some of it up.

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

That reminds me of one of the stories my dad told this past weekend about when he was doing quality assurance part-time (testing phosphoric acid for arsenic content before it was sold to Coke) when he was in college. The guy who was on the other shift (who was also a student) wouldn't run any of the tests, he'd just record every sample as being on spec, so my dad would get in trouble for having real data with some samples off spec, and his father (my grandfather) also worked there so the boss would have all three of them into his office so he could yell at my dad.

Amazingly enough, Dad went on to head a QA department later on rather than running away from the whole field.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Shocked and sad about the shocking and sad news on Facebook.

The status is NOT quo.

I believe Joe is coming this way to announce in Beep Me. Very sad but also determined to be supportive through such a difficult time for everyone.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So, for those not on Facebook:

It is with sadness and regret that we must announce the SuperFun Conat Family Hour Variety Show has been cancelled.

In real-world talk, that means Aimee and I are getting divorced.

The split is amicable. Aimee will be moving to a nearby apartment at the end of the month.

Our priority, as always, is Emeline. She seems to be taking it as well as can be expected.

We appreciate your love and support during this time.

I just spent the last ten minutes waiting for the Just Kidding. Gosh.

Our wings are not tired.

Joe, Aimee, of course all the love and support is yours as needed. I divorced from my first husband. Although it was the right decision, and we remained friends as long as he lived, it sucks mightily. Hugs to all of you.
