Thanks, Cindy.
In other death news, I got an email titled "Rest In Peace, [person's name]," from someone whose last name is Power, and I keep being surprised that my mother's church is using Rest In Power!!
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So sad about Strega. I owed her some music too.

What is even happening?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I feel like not remembering it rings more like, "I threw myself on top of so many teenagers, who can remember them all!"
This. And by combining the non-pology with his coming out, he is strongly implying that sexually assaulting underage boys is just something that naturally happens when adult gay men get drunk, which is NOT OKAY KEVIN.

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
Ugh, Kevin Spacey. That is not how you handle that. At all.
I'm sorry about Strega.
I'm hoping that Seth Abramson is right, but I am waiting for 45 and his cohorts to somehow slither their way out of any substantial repercussions.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Got roped into that sucky responsibility first thing, then had a status meeting where my coworker twice repeated exactly what I'd said, without acknowledging that I'd said it. I hate everything.
I need the stories of Trump's tantrums to start leaking. You know they're happening.

Oh, and she managed to work in a reference to how she was working SO MUCH overtime, which is her own damn fault, since she takes nine times as long to do anything as it should take.

He hasn't tweeted since his "NO COLLUSION" Tweet (which was followed pretty quickly by Mueller going "Oh, did I forget to mention George Papadopoulos, who was arrested in July and charged 25 days ago and might have been wearing a wire?"). He is shitting his pants right now. As he should be.

Monday, why must you be so Monday?
I sent an e-mail to my contracts person asking about PO A. She responded with a comment about Vendor B and C - neither of which are related to PO A. I sent back a note saying I was confused, I wasn't aware of any issues with B and C. Then I listed the outstanding contracts related items that are not yet complete, asking for a full status update.
Her response "Don't worry about it". WTF?????
I passed it off to my project manager and am going to stay out of that mess. Ugh.
