Oh lord, in writing this review, I almost said a thing she's developed this year is "relationships with colleagues." I think I'm not supposed to know that she's actually dating a colleague, but anyway, that's not even what I meant!

Did anyone else go to a Wonder Woman place with that?

This company has revenues of $50 billion and the bill wasn't paid.

This is what happens when your company is all people who buy the chocolate body paint and no people who keep track of the receipt.

I hope shrift's blanket fort was not too grumpy. And the movers actually come today.

I crashed hard and slept forever. I'm told the movers should be here between 10-2 today. I may require more caffeine in order to keep track of my inventory sheet, because I got distracted by work and had to be reminded that I was supposed to be on an 8am call.

shrift, I have just remembered that I had a dream this morning that I was going to interview at your workplace, and when I walked in, it was all craziness, like a food court and games and carnival rides and no one actually working, and there was no reception desk or anything, and I couldn't find anyone to tell me where to find the person I was supposed to be meeting with.

I am sure this is an accurate representation of your real-life working condition.

...well, you wouldn't be able to just walk into a building that didn't have a reception desk because the doors would be locked and require an employee badge.

-t, I envy you having skies dark enough and clear enough that the Summer Triangle is non-obvious.

While digging around for my lease so I could get the building intercom programmed so I don't have to go downstairs to let in visitors, I discovered two Target gift cards I'd forgotten about! This is great because I'm trying NOT to use my credit card for a while.

It was really lovely, dcp. When she first pointed out the summer triangle right about sunset (during her presentation on alien planets, which was terrific, because I guess that's where Kepler was looking), it was pretty obvious, but then I lost it as more stars came out. And my phone was trying to direct me to some other triangle constellation? The dark skies are one of the features of this particular park, but it's only a half hour drive from me, so I'll have to remember that when I want to see something in particular. Although maybe it closes at dusk when there isn't a special event. But pulling of the highway as if I was going into the park would probably work pretty well for many purposes, if the park proper is closed.

Hooray surprise gift cards!

My mid-morning snack is more second breakfasty than usual: deviled egg, grapefruit, and tea. I was prepared to make egg salad, actually, but the egg kept its shape really well, for once. I think I am about to add cake, though, because it is my next-cube-neighbor's birthday.

Brenda, we are going to need a full report on this wedding. It sounds BONKERS.

My mom once went to a wedding where the mother of the groom threw up on the dance floor. Lest you think, oh, it was nerves, or oh, the poor dear must have had food poisoning -- NO. The poor dear was tossing back shots like she was on Spring Break, and it all went downhill from there.

Chocolate cake with strawberry filling and frosting. Delish.
