Hey! I saw that tweet on Twitter!

She was delighted her video got picked up that way. She's a big fan of her boss.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That IS the big boss! Impressive.

I will never forget the faces of the young male actors when an older costume designer told them their costume for a prison scene would be "thongs and socks".

Hahaha! Especially because I can imagine two different ways to interpret that as a costume in toto.

I don't think she has ever met Musk (yet), but she has worked for Tesla the last couple years partly because she is such a fan. She visited a Tesla display at the Fort Lauderdale boat show and was talking to the sales person. She was too young to take a test drive (!), but she is a huge auto person in general and was checking them out. While talking to the people there they were blown away with her knowledge of Nikola Tesla and Elon Musk because she had done a research paper on them in high school. They ended up asking her to apply for a job, and the rest is history. She has been promoted a number of times already. t son's gf loves her job more than carrots

Jesus, Steph, that's horrid. I'm sorry.

So I'm turning into That Lady. I get to my pool, get in, they announce they are closing early on a hot Saturday to do in-service. They * always* do in-service after hours. It's so inconsiderate to the community. New pool mgmt sucks. So I wrote my second email this week to complain.

I left & went to another pool, so that was fine, but I was grumpy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Cider was good, but I *cannot* stop looking at the news article with the pictures of the crash. It's heartbreaking.

He's doing okay. I called him a little bit ago. He took a nap earlier and listened to the CDs my brother sent him for Fathers' Day. While we were talking, my aunt (his last remaining sibling) called him on his cell phone (since it's 2017 and he still doesn't have Call Waiting [I don't even know]), so he got off the phone with me to talk to her, which I think is good.

GF got home from work all excited. The kitty story got picked up by the newspaper here, and in CA. And her GM sent her a copy of the email that was forwarded to Elon that let him know about the incident. The customer had sent an email with the videos to someone at Tesla thanking GF by name and "her team" at the service center and filled with all kinds of praise, and it got forwarded up the line. Kitty was adopted by one of the techs. His wife came and picked it up.
