Wow, Karl- that is scary.
I am so sorry, shrift.
Everyone is so impressed I know how to make excel do things with words. I am way better with words than math, and I do a lot of mailings so it doesn't seem shocking.
I am doing my mandatory in-service right now and it is so awful. First- the questions have been the same for 15 years. Second- although I technically work in the medical center, I work in a whole separate building and there are no patients. I do not need to know how to dispose of sharps, prevent falls, the signs of stroke, and how you are supposed to make a chalk mark on the door when you evacuate a patient. Third- the test questions are so DUMB! You can totally answer them because they are multiple choice, and basically have three ridiculous answers and the right answer. and you have unlimited attempts. I don't think this is actually providing any meaningful learning for anyone!
shrift, I am very sorry.

Never mind meaningful learning, this takes dedication. I'm in awe.
I was surprised to find that my local polling site was open today, since I didn't think there were any contested primaries in my district.
It turns out there is one primary today for my district, for the Reform Party. This is the ballot: [link]
What the actual fuck?
So sorry for your loss, Shrift. And glad you're ok, Karl. How frightening!
We're traveling in Texas with my parents, brother, wife and my niece. We stayed at a lovely airbnb with a pool in San Antonio. Yesterday we drove to the coast near my family's hometown to look into selling property my dad has here. It's a pretty stressful trip for a number of reasons. My dad has Parkinson's and it's hard for him to get around and it increases his anxiety. Fun. Anyway, there aren't many places to stay near the town where the property is but we found a place to rent about 20 minutes away and we got here yesterday. It was ok. Lovely view of the Bay. Less than ideal a.c. and some other issues. Then Bob and I were out at the store last night and my brother called to say they found a scorpion on the porch. A bit later my sister in law was taking a shower and there was a scorpion in there. Aieeeeeeee. So we scrambled and found a hotel and we're moving there today. And I just can't wait to be home and that won't happen until Saturday night.
Oh dear, Lisa. I'm sorry it's not a relaxing vacation.
I'm sorry, shrift. That is way too young.
lisah, may your trip get less stressful and more fun for everyone.
All day yesterday, I thought it was Tuesday. Today feels like Monday. Two cups of coffee and I want to go back to bed.
I'm so sorry, Shrift. That's just awful.
Yikes, lisah! That is so not fun! I hope today is markedly better.
Yikes, lisah!
That's pretty bizarre, Scola. The Reform Party, is that Perot's deal?
