Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you all. I have been weepy all day, and I am just so shocked at how hard this hit me. Probably the fact that it is 2020 didn't help.

I didn't even like to watch the news when I was forced to watch 6, 6:30 and 11pm broadcasts. To much News. And my grandpa was basically Archie Bunker and my mom was basically Meathead, so you can imagine the fun dinner table discussions during the Carter Administration. I did end up with a little crush on Frank Reynolds, though. [link]

Punishingly Intricate

Hahahaha 3 calls. I have 11 on Friday. A terrible competition to be winning!

Sophia, your friend sounds like such an amazing person. What a loss. I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

11 calls! That is bazoo! We now have no-meeting Friday which is OK in theory, but bunches up the rest of the week sometimes. Not this week, though! I think August is actually going to be pretty quiet for us.

Although of course I'm supposed to be working on a big complicated thing right now. @@

We are having review season even with no ratings and no raises, and my new (post-reorg) boss was so nice in mine! I always feel like a slight loser compared to my previous boss (who I still really like and it's not like she gave me bad reviews), so it's kind of delightful having a boss who doesn't really understand my work, instead of being the long-standing expert in it.....

I find having a boss who doesn't really understand my work leads to him making up goals that have no connection to my reality and bad reviews when I don't meet them (cuz I was busy doing the job he doesn't quite comprehend rather than his made-up shit). I'm glad your situation went the other way.

Our wings are not tired.

DH tends to leave MSNBC on but I make him change it. Rachel's voice puts him to sleep almost instantly. Mostly I make him change it to HGTV or Netflix. I like Newsy for a change. Never watch local news unless there is a hurricane, and then I tend to go to the local news website.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I may do something this weekend.

Laura, did your place get through Isaias okay?

11 calls in one day sounds like an OSHA violation

In my defense, I'm an analyst and I have to run 2 of those calls - that is stressful! Analysts shouldn't have to run meetings, we should be able to just provide Sales with the information they need and sit in a corner quietly until we are needed
