Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I also had one Young Professional Bro come to the door and do the same sort of line. I shut the door in his face.
Oh my god. I only reluctantly answer the door, but I work in direct line of sight of the door, and if it's a nice not-humid day, I keep the front door open to get the breeze through the screen door. Which means that the people who come to the front door can see me and it is THE WORST. If a Real Estate Bro showed up, I would pray for a flamethrower.

Did you know that if you answer the door to Nice Mormon Boys while wearing a velvet skirt and a vampire-themed t-shirt, lock eyes with them, and smile slowly and widely, showing all your teeth, they start stumbling over their words and back away down the stairs?
This is something I learned recently.
That makes me happy, Jilli.
I'm pretty sure my house is still not going to go for as much as I paid for it. It is nice to think that someday it might.

You are a delight and a treasure.

Also, if your father happens to answer with a gun he got for xmas and tells them very politely no thanks and please don't knock again, they never will? (The gun was happenstance - he didn't take it to the door on purpose. There's always a gun for xmas, right hippocampus?)
I want to sell my condo but there's no way I could afford anything better in this neighborhood.
ION, I am a terrible person. My brother's supposed to fly out this morning for a visit and his flight's been canceled and they can't rebook him earlier than tomorrow. And I'm so swamped today that I am feeling 100% relief.
Not terrible at all.
This going to work five days in a row thing, I don't like it.
IOON, work email is fun this morning.
Apparently our IT group is sending out fake phishing emails so they know *exactly* who needs more lectures on not clicking random links. Hah! I passed - reported as phishing.
Also this:
We are pleased to announce that your submission to JLL's first-ever Productivity Prize competition has been selected as a Finalist! We received over 250 entries and yours is one of the Final Six that will present virtually via WebEx on Tuesday, July 11th to Christie Kelly, our CFO, and the Productivity Prize Review Board.
This is the project I've been on for the past 18 months. The Productivity Prize is a BFD - $100,000. There are 7 of us, so not exactly retire young money, but it would sure would be something to celebrate. Plus it's a lot of exposure and shit. Fingers crossed!
That's awesome, brenda -- good luck!

Right?
We got an email about Casual Fridays all summer, but tomorrow we have an internal conference, and apparently the dress code for that is business casual. So we'll see who reads their email thoroughly...
