I am irrationally fond of being able to take my glasses off and have the world go all soft and fuzzy, but it does have its drawbacks.

various...panels that...do things.

That's intriguing.

HOME RUN WOOOOOOO

I'm trying to fend off a bout of magical thinking. "Is this the way I walked Matilda to school for the other pitches?"

I am convinced that HRC lost because I didn't wear Madame President on my nails that night.

Me too.

My glasses slipped off the nightstand

Last night mine slipped off the bed while I was reading and I had to go downstairs to get another pair of glasses so I could find the first pair, which had landed in the trash can and were completely invisible to my naked eyes.

I have worked a couple hours every day of this vacation. As usual. Why did I expect otherwise? Today I talked my back-up through a QC process that everyone on the team should've been using for years. I asked her how did she do this on her own journals? She said, I don't :-). OMG. She doesn't QC her articles before they print. She is never backing me up again.

edited for misspelling, speaking of QC

hopefully there were filters and coffee to make another pot.

There were. That's one thing my office is really good about. And USUALLY everyone is good about starting a new carafe when one is finished, this is the first time I've seen both dry in a long time. Which is why it was such a shock, I guess. But fresh coffee once the pot I made had finished.

The whole world is bokeh!

Ooh, new word! And yes. I find it relaxing.

She doesn't QC her articles before they print.

Whaaaaaaaaaa.

May the Bros have many Has for you!

Hell yes to this!

NIGHTMARE SCENARIO

I should perhaps mention that I have misplaced my computer-distance glasses, which will do as backup glasses in a pinch. They must be somewhere in my house or car, presumably in their case, but I have no idea where, having checked all the places that make any kind of sense and not found them. I do know where my prescription sunglasses are, but they would be of limited use in trying to find my regular glasses under the bed...

I was momentarily confused by the "pitches" and "Home Run" wrt the Bros of Has. I lost the context and was asking myself if the Giants were playing right now...

May the Bros have many Has for you!

Yessss!

Sarameg, I'm sorry about the gallstone and associated inconveniences.

The thing I was stressing about at work last week worked out well, and I was pretty visible over a holiday weekend (not an expected thing at my workplace) helping that happen, so I think that went well. PEP mid-year reviews are coming up, so the timing was nice.

My belated condolences to Sail Aweigh and family.

Congratulations, David!

The managing editor emailed it to all the senior management and me with the subject line "More proof of greatness!".

Also congratulations to Steph. This is fantastic.

Nathan Fillion just posted this article about Ron Glass' involvement in an org that helps kids prep for college. Maybe this would be good for Good Stuff: [link]

Timelies all!

Yay, Hec!

It has been raining on and off all day. Right now it is raining hard.
