I'm resisting the urge to say it must be a day that ends in Y in this country. Not resisting it very well, but whatever.

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.
And in Texas. Awesome.
ION - I have pissed off a co-worker by going above them about how they are doing their job. We are significantly behind for the year and so we should be maximizing our output every single day. I heard him today pushing off some orders for today which then led to him telling some other people that he could not guarantee them space tomorrow and all of that was unnecessary bullshit. We had cancellations today so absolutely could take at least partial orders early and everyone could then get on for tomorrow that wanted to. So end result, we ARE shipping the stuff today that he had said no to.
Things got real quiet in the office. I did all my communication via text with the higher ups. But he knows and when they started emailing him to address it, I just heard him saying "damn it damn it, shit" under his breath. Not sorry.
Well done, msbelle.
Going to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf tonight with DH. Earlier in the week they had called to say that one of the actors fell ill and the replacement would still be on script tonight (opening night), and I could switch out my tickets for a later performance if I wanted. Heck no, it won't throw me off at all if dude is reading. Looking forward to it. Tomorrow going to watch wedding stuff at the theater with Tate's mom so we can see how we are supposed to dress when the kids get married. (I assure you there will be no hats and gloves in Florida in July) Then tomorrow night seeing a student production of 42nd Street at the Jupiter theater. My calendar overflowith.
Mueller is tough - he was in combat in Viet Nam; left the Marines when he discovered that he didn't like being a Marine with a desk job. He was the head of the FBI for longer than anyone except Hoover. Tough man.
And no doubt Trump thinks he can go toe to toe with Mueller. It is torture to wait through this process, but I have to expect that Mueller is going as quickly as he feels prudent.
I saw a report that they were having a practice of Trump answering some of the questions that were released a while ago ... in four hours they got through two questions (he tends to ramble). And Mueller has rejected the request that the answers to his questions be provided in written form.
It must terrify Trump's handlers to think of him under oath and every word being taken into consideration.
It certainly should.
I mean, his idiot kid has already admitted to basically committing treason during the campaign. And while Trump himself would require impeachment proceedings to remove, Mueller is well within his power to indict any of the advisors and hangers-on if he finds dirt on their hands.
Timelies all!
Rain. Ugh.
Ugh. I told the company we are working with I needed their edits by COB Thursday. No word. Midnight, she emails me to say she'd have them to me by noon today. At 12:30 I ask where they are, she says by 2. At 230 I tell her if I don't have them by 3pm I won't make the changes. She emails them at 3:01. Goddamn.
