Is there a worse time for a training session than the morning after a three-day weekend? Even without my freaking fraudulent orders to deal with.
I'm liable to kill and eat the next person who comes to me with an issue for one of my accounts.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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 came in this morning to an urgent problem that they had to stop a printing press in China for. Turns out we'd used an archived fine art image file that the previous printer had somehow inserted a glitch in, which was not apparent in PDF proofs sized for computer monitors but shows up in the 14x20 printed image. Ah crappy former printer, the gift that keeps on giving years later.

Jets are taking off and landing on the airstrip nearby. It's loud.
Go you! You can do it! Alternatively, can I interest you in one of our many fine alibi services?
I think I have it under control for now. Perhaps -t would be interested in your "Why, I never! I'm not a cannibal!" alibi services?

Not needed yet. So far all my urgent problems have been delivered via non-nutritious email.

So now I have an interview with the UK National Archives on the day before my birthday. Why do I do this to myself?

I think the email was a standard form one and was intended for an in-person interview. I have to see if they can do a skype interview.

Isn't that near Kew Gardens? Neat! Anyway, a job offer would be a great way to celebrate the week after your birthday. Good luck with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds cool, Sue!
I got 7 Yos right, but I feel I could have done better. The CEO came and walked behind me in the middle of it so I was thrown off.
Gud, does your wife get any mental health support? I mean, I'm a big fan of watching tv all weekend, but I think it's a little different with other people in your household and work to get done.

I got 7, too. I'm annoyed with myself for missing the Washington one.
