Dear Coworker Who Is Now Under My Supervision:

Don't come to me with a concern saying, "I don't want to upset anyone, but..." then procede to refuse to listen to my explanation of why the rest of the team is doing the thing the way they are because you have not experienced that problem. Bringing up your concern was not upsetting, your refusal to listen was.

With all due respect, Me

Your holiday treat. Comments worth reading. [link]

The comments are the best part.

Holy cow, that is comedy GOLD. ("The angel on top of my tree just hired a lawyer.")

"It called Mary a nasty woman."

Happy Thanksgiving to them that do that! Turkey in the roaster, watching the parade. Should think about cleaning up the house before peoples get here.

Happy American Thanksgiving! I hope you all have peaceful, relaxing holidays today.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans and all who celebrate this complicated holiday.

Last night I binged on Pitch (nearly caught up!) and made my mini apple pies. Still sick. Now to walk the dogs and listen to World War Z, then start the stuffing and lounge about a bit before going to fetch Dad.

Gonna be a quiet day, although I'm considering trying to catch a late show of Moana. And tomorrow night I go see Vienna Teng! Woot!

Today I'm getting together with the parents for lunch (ordering takeout from Dixie Cafe rather than cooking), and then late afternoon going to the extended family Thanksgiving/Christmas. For the latter my spinach dip is a go.

Timelies all!

We're doing our usual Thanksgiving with Gary's mom.

Wasn't everybody shorter back then? I still don't know if it means they towered over people or not.

Charlemagne was like 6'10", I think? I read a really interesting article about the the development of cities and how once they reached a certain (pretty small) size, average heights across Europe cratered in a couple of generations. Nutrition and pests/ disease, essentially.
