Huh, I wonder of Boehner had to throw himself on his sword to keep the government going.

So we are always having to distinguish between heat-treated pallets and standard pallets (which are not heat-treated) and end up using non-heat-treated as an adjective for clarity. Is that the right way to spell/punctuate that?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Whoa. Boehner gone, shut down averted, but only because a certain caucus thinks ousting Boehner is enough damage to cause this go-round?
We must look like such assholes to the rest of the world.

Technically, there should be an en-dash between "non" and "heat," but I'm thinking that the distinction between hyphen and en-dash probably doesn't matter in this instance. (IOW, it's fine as is.)

Thanks, I'll keep using it!

Resolved work issues (someone did an oopsie and borked the servers) and I just can't anymore with these cramps, so I came home and am lying down. Or curling up. Or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lie down and curl up! That sounds like the right move.
The shocking move means there’s unlikely to be a government shutdown next week. Following Boehner’s announcement, House Republicans said there was agreement to pass a clean spending bill to avert a government shutdown. Several members of the Freedom Caucus, the conservative group which led the revolt against Boehner’s leadership, said they will now support the spending bill without demands to defund Planned Parenthood attached to it.
Whoa!
I just realized I am the backup for an account i know nothing about but the primary analyst is out today. I hope they don't need anything, I'm still catching up on my accounts...
Didn't you just learn that doing nothing is the way to go?

Thanks for the reminder, Jesse! You are correct, that is my lesson for this week, I should take it to heart.
ETA seconding lying down and curling up. Very therapeutic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am finally listening to Hamilton, so I'm getting my work done with a steady head-bob going on.

Gah, I think I'm coming down with something. Do not want. Although then I could lie down and curl up and not do anything, I suppose. Maybe if I add Benadryl to the meds I've already taken (Claritin, Aleve, Tylenol, not all at once) it will help?
