Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

I do not understand people. heat index of 104, and there are people sitting outside on the patio at Starbucks.

Or people taking pictures of themselves in front of the Welcome to Las Vegas in the noonday sun when it's 112.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Can I boggle for a second, because I can't do this openly?

Nissan up and LOST one of my vehicles for the State of NM. They manufactured it, but it's nowhere to be found. How the fuck do you lose a 3000 lb car between production and shipping it to the dealer?

In unrelated news, a while back people were discussing waffles. May I introduce Fitzwilliam Waffles?

Is Nissan going to replace it?

The 2017 model year ordering period is closed, so they have to find one out of dealer inventory. I just hope they don't lose this one too... or screw around so long that there's no more of that color and option combo on the ground.

How the fuck do you lose a 3000 lb car between production and shipping it to the dealer?

Maybe someone used a SQL injection attack on one of their servers, downloaded the password hashes, used Jack the Ripper to match a hash, logged in, and forged the paperwork to have car delivered as a fleet sale to a fictional company?

Hypothetically.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Maria, that is some kind of bullshit. And weird as hell, to boot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And to be clear, what I was asking her to do was participate in team planning for the fiscal year. That's where she is afraid she will not feel emotionally safe. Due to sadness over a coworker getting a different job??

Good lord. I'm good friends with someone we had to fire and I probably paused for a second to wonder if it would be awkward the first time her name came up, then said screw it and went ahead. People still exist once they leave a job, and so do their accomplishments.
