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

One of the French-speaking product managers has sent me edits, and one sentence includes the phrase "a posteriori." This is a first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just wanted to take a moment to recognize and honor Jesse as a leader of our community.

THANK YOU.

(I knew that would happen!)

I'm sure it has a real meaning, but that just sounds like something pulled out of one's ass.

Stray cat update (he's a ladies' cat!): coworker found a neighbor to take it in, so no kitty for me.

Poking my head in (1st day back at work) to catch up and say I was really hoping Dana's coworker said something about the dashboard light.

Love y'all! Later!

Our wings are not tired

In the ongoing saga of the house we've been trying to get, it looks like the shady agent did successfully get it into escrow with another buyer, so we most likely have lost the house. The only way this would change is if, by some miracle, the offer falls apart with the other buyer and the house drops out of escrow.

Sorry to hear that, Noise. Fingers crossed for miracle!

Because books.

That sucks, ND. I'll cross my fingers, too.

beekaytee, ack! Is the reason on the notice something along the lines of him changing the property's use? What's the date he's given you?

How can the agent sell the house to other buyers against the wishes of the sellers that want to accept your offer?
