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.
My dad is having surgery on his neck on Tuesday. I may be watching results from a hospital room.
This surgery is going to be a bear. He is 72. This is neck surgery #2. They are cutting bones and attaching 2 rods and also having to cut some muscle. He will be in a lot of pain they are telling him. He will be in a collar with limited mobility for 2-3 months and he can't drive that whole time.
So, on the AAM open thread today, there's a comment from someone saying they have be anonymous because their boss reads AAM, but they had an interview on Wednesday, and [here's the question].... My staff person who I know reads AAM was out on Wednesday!! I hope she's not looking to leave, but I guess wouldn't be shocked if she were. (Not the one I don't like, a different one.)
Oh, msbelle. That doesn't sound fun.
My coodinator just emailed all the freelancers to tell us that the AMA is giving the employees an extra hour of paid time off today to attend the Cubs parade.
They're estimating 5 million people at the parade and Grant Park. I'm not sure an hour is sufficient.

The AMA is notoriously tight-fisted, so the fact they even gave employees an extra hour (above their lunch hour) is amazing. I suppose if the parade runs long, it just comes out of PTO? I didn't ask.
Another thing rum is good for - baking apples. Add a little rum and it elevates the whole thing.
I use rum when I run out of vanilla, and it's never been bad!
I am far from a rum expert, but Kraken rum is tasty, has a cool bottle, and every time you drink it, you get to say "Release the Kraken!"
Maybe that's just me.
And in other weird things I said...last night I told M "You've been bar mitzvahed, now you get to join the Christmas gift exchange."
My run to get lunch turned into a lost-doggie escapade. Fortunately, there were no shortage of people trying to catch this guy. Boston Terrier who apparently got out of a garage while people were working at the house, and two guys working at a different garage saw him take off. Between them, me, and the woman who was out jogging, we grabbed him, and they were headed off to return him. Fortunately this happened before I had to sacrifice my sandwich to the dog to get him to stop running.
I'm amused by the close proximity of two different meanings for AMA
So, I just signed up to be a poll greeter on election day (early morning shift) and now I'm nervous. Tell me I'm not going to be shot by a Trump supporter.
