Woohoo, tumblr finally got back to me and it was a glitch (not me being on a mysterious no-tumblr list) that has been fixed. I can log in and everything!
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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

The status is NOT quo.
I also have the day off for Rosh Hashanah. It's been a lovely, lazy morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Popping in to say that Steph needs to remember this when she feels like she's a failure at her job. Why would they recommend that you mentor someone if they didn't think you were capable and doing a good job?
Yeah, that. Also, I always love telling people about work stuff I know. You're the expert! Highly recommended!
rather have the Oprah Chai, which is delicious and cinnamon-y
On behalf of my former colleagues at Girls Inc., thank you! (They get part of the proceeds.)

Friday was our big fundraiser for CJ's Search and Rescue team. My last big involvement before fading out now that he has graduated.
It was a golf tournament followed by a silent auction and dinner. It was our first time adding a golf element to the event and we were at a new venue. The gal who was the main force behind the planning was extremely ambitious and I'll admit I doubted some of the things she wanted to do.
Day of, it all came together. It was an extremely long day and I was much more involved than I had hoped to be, but I suck at saying no. Yesterday they did the review of all the financial information, gross intake, expenses, and net results. We more than doubled last year's results. We almost pulled in one year's worth of expenses for the team, which is completely amazing.

My favorite part: "Officials also stated that an innocent 35-year-old passerby who found himself caught up in a long-winded dispute over use of the serial, or Oxford, comma had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Information need of the day: two young women, sort of alternative-looking, who asked for books on 1) demonology 2) serial killers and 3) the police exam.
Also, after they asked for the demonology books I was like, "Sure! Let me look up the call number," and the one girl said to the other, quietly, "See, they don't judge." Hee.

Congrats, Suzi! That is awesome. Golf events can be a huge PITA, but also a huge draw for people with money, as I'm sure you saw...

Were they possibly named Samantha and Deana?

Snerk. Perhaps very thorough fic writers who don't want to have an Internet search history.
I just looked at the clock on my computer and felt the urge to tap it to see if it was broken, followed by the stern voice of logic saying that digital clocks can not be tapped to fix them. And that the odds of a digital clock having stopped are slight.
