Congrats, Kate!
Sorry about the sucky day, Zen.
Amyth, I sent thank you notes, but I still spent nine months unemployed, so I don't know that they did any good.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

July 9 is a good date for a birthday.
Massive crazy hour long, constant booming rainstorm here. Made me quite happy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My co-worker needs to:
- get her act together and figure out what exactly she needs me to do so she can ask in complete sentences that include nouns; I'm not psychic.
- remind herself that when I have conflicting projects it is my bosses who determine my priority list, a group of people which does not include her. (We're at the same level of middle management and I have over 14 years seniority; while each manager calls the shots within their own bailiwick that doesn't include supervising the work of other managers.)
- stop buzzing me on the intercom every 10 minutes with something else she forgot to tell me about if she expects me to get any work done, and
- save the hand-to-forehead martyred sighs about working late for someone who doesn't know she comes in late every single morning and spends hours taking personal calls during the workday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sara, is it your birthday??
You know, I would love it if my mother would lock the door. So then we wouldn't have situations like the guy running for alderman walking directly into the house.

What the..? I swear our seasons are going all askew.

Congrats to Kate and family. Man, I wish I had not spent so much time arguing with a racist stranger. But I spent too much of my life being "Too nice" to so maybe this is a beginning, even if the man's brain is like, whipped butter, or something.

Yay for Buffistababies! Congratulations, Kate!
I wonder what my old place, a 4-bedroom flat with garage space, in the Mission goes for now?
At a guess, I'd say at least $8K. Split 4-to-a-room among a bunch of newbie startup dudes, that's only $500 per brogrammer.
I felt so crappy today I bailed early and went to sleep for 40 minutes when I got home. I think I'm feeling enough better to go into the city tonight...
I'll be thinking of you this weekend, shrift, as I pack up my kitchen for the demolition to start. At least I'm not moving across the country!
