Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

RED ALERT! My coworker just asked me if I read THAT website. I lost it and had to tell him the whole story. He said his wife reads it all the time but she may change her mind when he tells her about it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats, Matt! And if you're paying off your credit card bill every month, I wouldn't count it as debt.

Yeah, I regard expenditures on that card as basically the same as a debit card, I just pay it all once a month and have better security with a credit card instead.

Matt, that is good news! I had pretty heavy card debt coming out of college and it was such a relief when my pay got good enough I could pay it off.

Also good is going for a dental checkup and being told your gums are healthy and you teeth are surprisingly clean. *preens*

THAT website

I think I'm missing context here. Conservapedia? Stormfront? Neopets?

RED ALERT! My coworker just asked me if I read THAT website.

Are we talking about TVTropes?

I told some folks on a private Slack channel about the faked death of the were-monkey last week. They were appropriately horrified.

As for meetings, my small team has a daily 8AM meeting where my boss confirms we're all still healthy and then we usually talk a little about work issues. It's not bad. Today we talked about the proposed reopening plan, which involves two "teams" that alternate weeks in the office.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Are we talking about TVTropes?

That's it.

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

Today we talked about the proposed reopening plan, which involves two "teams" that alternate weeks in the office.

That's what my office is doing, with about half of everyone still working from home for various reasons (like me, for example)

A while back NBC came out with a Who What Where When Wine tumbler, and in a moment of feeling like I had money I ordered it. They sent e a WTFork tumbler, which is cute and apropos for pretty much anything these days, but wasn't what I ordered, so I sent them and email and had a pleasant correspondence with their customer srvice people and my replacement Who What etc tumbler came today. I would like it to be known, for the record, I have NOT filled it with wine yet. Working. And it's, like 10 am. SUCH RESTRAINT
