There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

No moon for us either, Dana. I was bummed.

Also, if you could make that strategy work, you'd be rich.

I don't think I am on board with today and would like to go back to bed.

Co-sign. Can I just have more weekend instead?

Didn't we elect Zenkitty Dictator for Life? Surely she has that power.

Ugh, birthday weekend hangover. I hope Matilda outgrows birthday parties before they kill us.

She had the last piece of fancypants birthday cake for breakfast.

And we'll be eating leftover pizza all week, I expect.

I was very pleasantly surprised to be able to see the eclipse from our back porch. We never get to see anything in the sky in SF, so that was a low expectations exceeded type moment.

Now I must wash socks.

I have a meeting with the big big boss and my union rep in less than an hour because they are monkeying with my flextime arrangement for no good reason (that I can see.) I am fighting it on the principle of the thing more than anything...if I lose it's not a great hardship. But it's another sign of my workplace being less than hospitable to workers. Wish me luck.

Crush them, Sue! Make them rue the day!

Good luck, Sue. Hold their feet to the fire.

Thanks guys.

I am letting my union rep do all the talking.

You know, I just never really got a handle on September. Maybe I should start focusing on October now.

Good luck, Sue!

oy. Maria. I'm sorry.
