This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Herding cats for fun

I don't know about the post office these days. I sent two cards early in September and they have both been returned- finally- with canceled stamps and a sticker stating the envelope is not deliverable as addressed and cannot be forwarded. It looks okay to me.... first name, last name, number, street, city, zip. WTF? I don't have the neatest handwriting in the world, but for mailing envelopes I make sure it's legible, complete and large written with a black pen.

I'm gonna put the returned card into a bigger envelope and try again, but this is disheartening. They fail to deliver but cancel the stamp anyway.

Cass! OMG! So glad you're OK.

msbelle, I am sorry. Health~ma. And generally, health~ma in every direction.

(Fun fact: I'm a 35 years old in a grad school. I can spell lots of words, including long and complicated words, but every isn't one of them. I keep writing it evrey, every time. Yay spellcheck).

Now that you mention it, I pronounce every as evrey. Huh.

Case, I'm glad you're ok, even if your tires aren't.

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, Cass. I had a bit of an adrenaline rush just reading about it. Yay skillz.

I don't know about the post office these days.

Yeah, I've had things returned that were 100% fine too, and things that take forever. I still get checks in the mail from most of my customers because checks mean no fees for credit cards, but some have just disappeared. I suspect they have morale issues there.

Yay spellcheck

My favorite computer advancement of all time, says one who wrote most of her college papers on a typewriter. It taught me how to spell words I misspelled for years. What I don't get (glares at DH) is why people don't activate it for all writing, or do they just ignore the squiggly line?

I had to add yay ages ago to my dictionary because it always got a squiggly line and I disagreed.

A platform worth endorsing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My local mail has been better than ever -- I just picture the local PO people sitting in meetings saying, "Fuck DC, we're going to do our jobs!"

Pretty sure I would vote for John Rogers for President:

100%

Yikes, Cass. I had a bit of an adrenaline rush just reading about it.

What Laura said!

A manager that I'm working with on a project has scheduled time this afternoon to offer me constructive feedback, so now I have to figure out how to accept that gracefully when what I really want to do is react like a truculent child.

What is even happening?

John Rogers has my support for 2024. He's promised to enact my mandatory snacks and naps law* in his first 100 days.

*I'm pretty sure I developed this here a gazillion years ago (or possibly on LJ, which for me was also mostly Buffistas), so it's our law.
