I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
God, my majority partner on this project is such a fucking asshole. Just got this in a email.
"Meaning - if we all need to speak at 8:30 EST, thats when it has to be. If you want to be on that call, great, but we can't now make any accommodations for PST. Does that work for you. "
Note how it's not a question. Common courtesy and sound business sense (at the very least) to include all stakeholders in strategy calls. I make myself available by 8:15 my time after I drop Matilda off. 11:15 EST is completely workable. And if it was urgent I could handle an earlier call.
I really hate working on this project but I've got nine months of unpaid labor into it, and the partnership papers aren't finalized. And our investor pitch looks like it worked and we're about to get some cash.
So, I can't tell him to fuck off. As yet. But God, I want.

My father is watching the dam closely. As I suspect hippocampus' father is. Engineers!
As you all may remember, I get feisty on the local listserv when people try to cheat their nannies out of pay, taxes, etc. Someone got on today and asked that everyone post what they were paying so everyone knew they were in "the ballpark." So I sent her a message off list to discuss antitrust laws, and, while they may not apply, there was a moral argument for not trying to suppress wages.
Also, our power is out and we are not supposed to get it back until the wee hours of the morning, so I might be cranky.

My doctor's office, bless them forever, now has a service where you can get an online evaluation for 8 or 10 common (but also simple to treat) conditions/illnesses.
AWESOME. This is genius.

First day of actual vacation--eye checkup, all good. Doc baffled why I'm so much happier with unassisted vision than that staring through his thingie of many lenses--possibly because I'm not dealing with lens distortion, and near 20/20 without help makes me very happy. Tomorrow I take the car to the shop to find out why half the time when I turn the key it doesn't do anything. The rest of today: waiting for my eyes to not be dialated and ordering a pizza for dinner. Woo, I live large.

Happy Birthday! And enjoy your pizza today! Having macarons to look forward to is pretty good, too.
