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

I just remembered tomorrow is a work holiday! HOORAY!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

More than 40 Bay Area school principals in quarantine after in-person meeting

Idiots.

information libertarian

We're having a county spike, and the Director announced we will REQUIRE masks from customers coming inside as of Monday. YAY. (The city is taking up a city-wide mandate at a meeting tomorrow; Dayton, also spiking, did it yesterday.)

Also it is 84 degrees in my office is there any wonder I am quitting.

Our wings are not tired.

I'd have happily gone without a haircut for another year if it meant investing in a way to provide safe childcare and schools.

Agree completely, and I don't even have kids! They can't discuss people going back to work without solving childcare first.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

(1) Did you know there is a genre (I use that term loosely) of music called Yacht Rock? and (2) that there's a yacht rock band named Yächtley Crëw?

Steph:

(1) Yes, but (2) No, and I am so, so happy that I know it now.

Steph I knew #1 but not #2!

Also I feel so bad for folks with kids. Just no good answers.

Early dismissal today means stopping work at 10:30 (I start at 8) was totally fair, right?

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

SAME

Yes, meara. I'm not sure how to justify that but I feel quite sure.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

No email about early dismissal today, but I am clearly not giving my full attention to work.

Also, while I have heard the term Yacht Rock I have no idea what it sounds like. I imagine something Jimmy Buffet-ish?
