All condolences, Suzi.

I'm sorry, Suzi.

We're all in agreement that people must literally have Trump tied down to prevent him from tweeting right now, right?

I'm actually making progress on the updated board. Since I decided to create a new codebase, I can use similar code for the board and for my wife's online-course site which lets me use my time better. Synergy.

Yeah, he said he was going to do a watch-and-post to the world.

Edit: Co-workers and I were comparing how many cases we've done while working here. I've been here much longer, so I have many more cases than they do. Brief moment of combined respect and "how have you put up with this so long." Seque into the usual stories of stupid customers. "No, sir, regular click. I'll tell you if you need to right click. Regular click is left click." (not including people who have switched buttons, but if they're smart enough to do that, they don't need us generally).

I say, "'No, right click!' would be a good name for a book on tech support. One co-worker says "'No, right click!: The Connie Neil Story.'" I feel all weirdly validated. They know my last name! I'm a real girl!

That would probably be a fun book.

Co-workers are now longing to be elementary schoolkids again, so they can have recess.

Recess should be mandatory in the workplace.

I'm sorry for your loss, Suzi.

Work was CRAXY busy this morning and I'm just now catching my breath. And now my brain is back to thinking about K. She was one of the instructors at the horse therapy program that I used to volunteer for. One of the reasons I left was because the other instructor had quit and I knew about K's drinking. I wasn't close enough that I ever felt I could call her out and I knew others had talked with the programs BOD about the liability and how the drinking could affect the program and they did NOTHING. But bottom line, K had a great heart and I don't know what demons she was fighting with that lead to her addiction. Her family is devastated. Her father is the one who owns the land and stables. He has been traveling down the road to full dementia (another reason for my exit as the family didn't want to deal with that either leading to some interesting encounters during training and lessons) and I don't have a clue how he is handling this. I can see him not quite remembering who K is or having this tip him over into non-functioning mode.

Sorry for the babble, just trying to sort out some of this in my head. Mixed feelings, I've had a few. I've been away from the stables for about 9 months, so I would feel awkward going back to pay my respects. Maybe if the program does something, though then I have to deal with my issues with the program. Ugh. Why is life so complicated?

Did NOT need to say that twice.

So - distract me, please?

I'm so sorry for your loss, Suzi.
