A week ago a Flight for Life helicopter crashed, killing the pilot. Yesterday was the escort moving his body to the site for the memorial. Emergency Services vehicles lined the route and the overpasses in an emotional salute to the pilot and community. CJ's search and rescue team was invited to take over one of the overpasses along with a fire department. CJ said it was one of his most emotional experiences.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It sounds like an impressive tribute, Suzi.
Also, the news tells me Omar Shariff has died of a heart attack in Cairo.
Let me lighten this moment with a quick story. New job, I look up from my typewriter (you heard me) to see Omar Shariff! In my doorway! I am about to swoon when he opens his gorgeous mouth to ask, "Is (your boss) here?" in a voice reminiscent of Alvin the Chipmunk. Cognitive dissonance, I had it.
Happy Birthday, Sox!

Last day at the job. Only things left to do are to return library books & turn in keys and ID... with 3 and a half hours of work left.
Happy birthdays, Sox & Sara!

That must be a strange feeling, Kiba.
I don't seem to have magically learned Powerpoint while I was not working on this presentation at all. Rats.

I'm sorry it feels like you're the last person on the space station, Kiba. Could you spend your time doing something like writing cryptic messages on whiteboards?
There is nothing about Powerpoint that is magical. Considering the number of presentations I've seen that appear to have been created by brute force, you'll do fine.
I just put a cake in an entirely wrong pan, because I didn't feel up to getting on my hands and knees to find the right one.

That's a legitimate reason for choosing an untraditional cake pan.
And thanks. I am not at all worried about how this presentation goes (not caring very much has stood me in food stead in these kinds of situations so far, I'm sticking with it) but it is frustrating to try to figure out how to edit the slides someone else made to look like my biss has told me they should. I'm sure it would be easy if I, you know, knew what I was doing. But pushing various buttons until I get an okay result will work. Eventually

The house that had been flying the Confederate flag is now flying an American flag. I don't know how or why. But at least it's gone.

Ginger, I could leave messages on white boards. They'd be extra mysterious. I'm thinking of doing things like updating my recipe collection in Pepperplate, or watching a lot of YouTube videos, or putting my head down for a nap as immediately following work I'm going to run tech at a comedy theater.
