Wow, flea. That sounds like something you'd be good at.
Apparently an armed gunman held up the CVS on the corner at around 9:30 this morning and shot a customer in the hand before fleeing. Police are still looking for him.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Wow flea! Flattering even if you decide it's not for you.
Hi Kate!
I have a sore throat. I'm hoping its a temporary "why was it 109 and now it's 50?" from my body, and not that I'm getting sick. Do not want to be sick!

Wow, flea! That's very exciting, whatever you choose.
Hi, Kate! So glad that you and Jane are doing well.
Hi, Cindy!

I also am so happy to hear from Kate and Cindy!
I took the headhunter phone call while sitting on the living room floor in my underpants. You may sympathize with my feeling like an imposter. This position involves budgeting and financial management (largest thing I have done this for besides my household was managing the supply budget for a library department) and keeping the work of volunteers in committees on track (largest thing I have done this for besides my household is the kids school library, which has 5 volunteers besides me, and I do most of the work.) So I am feeling not very worthy. And I already have a tendency to sell myself short in professional conversations.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, Cindy! Hi, Kate! Hi, Jane. Go back to sleep.
Connie, that's terrifying. Glad you're okay! And everyone else who escaped harm, of course, but especially you.
Whoa, flea. Hell of an egoboo, and what an opportunity!

Nah. That's not what an imposter does. That's what the queen (of Classics) does! The queen is still the queen even in just her underpants.

Yikes, Connie!
And Ginger! Stay safe and check in when you get a chance, I will worry.

flea, I feel certain you could totally do that job. And that's awesome you got the call sitting on the floor in your underwear. So 21st century!
I am deferring brewing my pot of tea until after the webinar because I am that much of a professional. Herbal tea today, that will be too late for caffeine.

My iced tea/lemonade mix, sold under the Arnold Palmer brand, has an aftertaste of turpentine. Do not want. Will have to make my own mix and bring it in to work. It'll cut the diet Coke consumption.

Hi Cindy! Hi Kate!
Is it wrong that I was relieved to get to work today so as to have a break from caring for parents and doing household chores? At least here the temperature inside is comfortably cool.

They're reporting that the gunmen took wallets from the people in the CVS, and then went on to rob a Dollar General shortly afterwards. My street is the road between the CVS and the Dollar General. Daylight robberies in what is basically a residential area seem to show a certain level of desperation. They haven't caught them yet, but they could have gotten right on 285 and be anywhere.
