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.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have exchanged my Cubs ulcer for an election ulcer. Unlike a lot of folks here, I'm not real Hillary fan, but I think she'll make a decent president and I just can't understand how so many people can't see how mind-bogglingly terrible Trump is.
I have a friend who loves Obama, but she absolutely despises Hillary and is voting for Trump. It's absolutely infuriating that she wants to vote for the man that is planning on dismantling Obama's legacy the instant he takes office. But there's no reasoning with her.
ION, I'm going through the oh-so-wonderful process of car shopping because my old car died on Sunday and my mechanic told me the engine is shot and it's not worth pouring any more money into it. The junker isn't even paying me enough to cover the cost of having it towed to my mechanic and having it looked at. Whee.
