this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would have had to go way out of my way, and I just wanted to get home. Plus I really couldn't eat the english muffin part anyway.

I love egg mcmuffins with sausage, but am amazed by how much less tasty an alternate is if you swap out any one of the ingredients.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Interview ~ma, Amy!

Yay for really good (and well-deserved) feedback on your book, Gud! And thank you for all the great work you're doing on our Board.

Yay for swim lessons, Andi!

Yay for having enough migraine meds! Boo for having a migraine!

And from what I remember about shrift's schedule, it's that she has 7AM meetings AND 9PM meetings.

Oh, that's just not on. Late or early, but not both!

I'm nocturnal, too. I'd prefer never to have to do anything before 1pm. Mornings are for wandering around sipping coffee, puttering around in the house or garden, and reading the news. 2am is bedtime.

I haven't slept well for the past three nights, and everything seems to be separated from me by invisible cotton batting.

Perfect description. Between painkillers and allergy meds, that's how I'm feeling almost all the time lately.

I uncovered a massive design flaw at the core of one of our highly visible functionalities!

Oh, triple yay.

Much ~ma for your friend, Matt.

I would be seeing the doctor about possibly removing my cast today, but he had to switch the appointment to Monday. I'm hoping four extra days makes the difference and I can get the cast off. My leg feels fine, except I suspect the skin is numb right over my new metal bar. If so, hopefully that'll fix itself.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I hope you can get the cast off, Zen. When I had ankle surgery, I was in a cast for 10 days, and that was plenty for me. Cast claustrophobia is totally a thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shitstorm handled! Everyone fine with the outcome! And I bought my two team members who missed most of a team meeting actually Doing The Thing adorable little succulents to say thank you, so have all achieved Good Bossing, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh! I still haven't had coffee! That explains a lot. I started getting handed problems as I walked in the door before I even got to my desk, none of them really mine to solve but sorting that out got in the way of my coffee-getting routine.

~ma for your friend, Matt!

That sounds like some Good Bossing to me, Jesse. Way to manage the shitstorm!

Congrats, sarameg?

Cast-removal~ma, Zen

I had the Smart Ones version of a sausage egg mcmuffin for breakfast this morning. Quite satisfying.

Timely and pleasant results~ma, Tep.

WooHoo! Glad you emerged from the shitstorm unscathed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Cast claustrophobia is totally a thing.

Oh, good name for it.

Next Tuesday will be 7 weeks in the cast, 8 weeks since the accident.

Excellent bossing and shitstorm-handling, Jesse.


Amy - Jun 29, 2017 8:02:40 am PDT #13282 of 30002
Because books.

Health~ma for your friend, Matt!

Excellent Bossing, Jesse!

Zen, I hope the cast comes off asap. I can only imagine how tired you must be of it.

Between my interview next week, and the fact that next week I'm off, I have Zero Motivation to anything productive today. Instead, I'm eating another croissant.
