Casper, kiddo. Do not do what I did one year and completely fail math because I never did my homework. It's a trick that doesn't pay off.

Our wings are not tired.

That whole just do the damn homework in a timely fashion lesson is a tough one to sink in.

It's very sad when the free pie in the lunch room is not only not good pie, but is bad pie. Whatever bakery they went to used the absolute wrong apples in the apple pie. Perhaps that's why there was so much pie left over from the other department's shindig that it was put before the locusts of Tech Support.

Yeah. We're trying to get L to learn that one too. I've started having daily scrum meetings with him and tracking his homework on a Kanban board. It's very software-development-y but it seems to be helping.

I had a reasonably good meeting with my manager today, and he told me that he wanted me to be more aggressive with our team. I told him to remember he asked for this during our next annual review period.

That's code for "bring your chainsaw to work."

Oh! I meant to post this earlier, because I am rolling my eyes FOREVER: my otherwise incredibly smart antivaxxer friend posted a link on FB about a Chrome extension that will show you which links are from bullshit fake news sites and whatnot. (That part is cool.)

...he posted it immediately AFTER he shared a link from FoodBabe, without a trace of irony. I am not making that up.

I know we all have blind spots, but his is a mile wide on this thing. Sheesh.

Happy Birthday Jilli!

And thank you Steph for linking to the kitten named Squee on Facebook. It provides much needed cuteness.

Squee is so damn cute, it's almost unreasonable.
