this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Amy, health~ma for your dad!

I'm just hoping that when Trump is gone, Pence doesn't rip his face off and reveal he's been the Red Skull all along.

I feel like that would be an improvement on Trump, though.

Also, after reading Pix's explanation, I too am FB black. Though the ads I see don't really reflect that.

I'm FB Black and I kinda suspected from the ads I get. Also, I've gotten clothing catalogs targeting Black women for years, I always assumed because the clothing does appeal to my taste so I always figured that was from something tracking my shopping behavior.

I forgot to eat breakfast today. I don't know how that happened, it's very not me. Did get a frappuccino on my way to work and a coworker randomly gave me the carrot-ginger juice that was too gingery for her, so not an emergency, but SO WEIRD

Our wings are not tired.

I was happy to see that the March for Our Lives thing was local to my city and a nice 1 mile route from center city to the beach, well and another mile back of course. The best part was when I posted that we would be marching I noticed one of my neighbors posted the same. I'm hoping for a good crowd. Generally they are in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and require more coordination. It was good to see that one was right here.

DH has gathered his reference letters from various coaches and principals to go for the head coach position at the local HS. Mixed feelings, but bottom line I think it will be less stressful in the position of control than it has been assisting. The ad was placed nationally and there will be a ton of applicants for a school that large. We'll see what happens.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also FB Black, which I'm pretty sure just means "angry liberal". And a soccer fan, which isn't wrong, but not really what I would expect in the top handful of things.

(The FB Black thing reminds me of 10 or so years ago when every woman programmer I know was assumed male by Google. Because obviously only a man would spend all day googling code-related questions.)

Health~ma to your dad, Amy!

Oh, apparently I am FB Black as well. Yay! I was feeling left out/guilty I wasn't being socially conscious enough.

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

I am not FB black, and they consider me a political moderate. Whuuu?

They did at least get the frequent traveler and how I connect correct.

I don't know if that means I'm good at not giving them info to work with besides my travel check-ins, or I'm a bad ally.

I probably won't get rid of FB because it is the only way some of the far-flung family members stay in touch. I don't want to lose that.

Amy, so much ~ma for your dad.

Work is eating me from the bottom up, but that's nothing new. Two RFP responses need to go out the door early next week, and I have current client orders to handle as well. At this rate, I'll see everyone after the last final order due date has passed sometime in June.

Poking around in my Facebook settings did give me the opportunity to set a Legacy Contact. I made it my niece (I hope that doesn't freak her out) but maybe it should actually be one of you...

ETA They have me as a frequent traveler and I am SO NOT

Oh, hey, there are donuts. Maybe my unconscious somehow knew I'd get lots of food at work and wouldn't need breakfast?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best thoughts for your dad, Amy.

Yeah, but they called me a frequent traveler, too, and that's not true!
