Holy smokes, Suzi. That's...a lot. I'm glad it worked out ok.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, Suzi. SO glad it worked out!
In other news, I am glad that my new team member seems comfortable enough being "one of the girls." He's the only man on a team of 12! But is already seeming relaxed and enjoying himself at the end of week 1.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sounds good to me, Dana.
Woot vacation!

Oh Suzi that is a lot and all so awful. Why are people so awful?
I am at work and I have done work, but I am also watching a movie on my phone. Screw cleaning off my desk. It's friday and Oscar weekend and I feel exhausted and do not want to deal with people or work.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Suzi, I'm glad for the relief.
Jesse, maybe Mr. Man is finding working among the women kind of relaxing and supportive. We can live in hope, anyway.
Yay for not-falling-over -t!
All best luck for B, Laura--and for all the kids he'll influence in that job!
Aww, I'm all nostalgic for the days when we could get passionate over grammar and gerundifciation. These days? Too emotionally and intellectually exhausted to enjoy a good gerund-cilantro-muffaletta-salad shooter dustup.

Omg the kid I helped fill out voter registration last year is not registered. Either didn't mail it in or had some issue with it, we checked like 4 different addresses for him and cross checked by drivers license. Just did it again and then got into a little gun Debate with him.
Him "well it's complicated"
Me " of course it is complicated, most things are. Still, no other developed country has this issue on this level."
Him " we're more diverse"
Me "no, we're really not"
Him "it's cultural"
Me "yes, a lot of it is, but that has to change"
Him " those other countries are basically dictatorships"
Me ???? "Canada? Australia? England? Not dictatorships"
Him "England basically is, with the Queen"
Me ???!!!??!!? "She's not in power, you know that right? They have parliament and a prime minister"
Him "she owns all the land and really controls things"
Now I not sure I did the right thing getting him registered.

Suzi that would have stressed me out SO BAD. glad for you it's over!
Jesse, last night I was at a team dinner that was 10 women and one guy, but my part of the industry is pretty female-centric so he hadn't really noticed!
Laura - Mar 02, 2018 9:56:30 am PST #22768 of 30002
Our wings are not tired.
Oh Suzi, what a relief to have it behind you. People!!!
Now I not sure I did the right thing getting him registered.
Ha! Yeah, I understand. Just like many things in the land, you can vote whether you have a clue or not. See also, 2016.

Australia is totally a dictatorship.

Yeah, I don't know what this guy's old team was like, but our field is pretty female dominated, so maybe it's not a surprise. I'm just glad he seems happy and not shell-shocked.
