The Brexit agreement just got crushed in the House of Commons. I wonder how long it will take for May to resign and/or elections to be called.
I saw. 432 to 202 I believe, and over 100 Tories voted with the opposition. They were calling it a historic vote margin—nothing like it since ~1920. Tomorrow's the vote of no confidence, so that'll be fun (for people who aren't Theresa May). I was watching the video on The Guardian, and if the PM could have set people on fire with her mind, I strongly suspect she would have.
Oh! The game is live streaming on FB. Nearly empty stands at what would have been a sold out game.
Over the past few years -- it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel sick to my stomach.
I can't disagree, Fred.
Distracting myself with watching the game and sending score reports up to MaxPreps. Good game! My team is down 43-38 at the half. New experience for them. I bet they got a taking to at half time. Watching DH talk with them now.
Safety~ma, Laura!

If they call for elections, that's going to make my job much more interesting than I'd like it to be.
Wow - tie 76-76 and going to overtime!
May has to be out after this.
And they won 93-85 in overtime. It was a real nail biter.
The Brexit situation continues to worry me more as time goes on, much like the Trump situation. History will not treat either of those votes kindly.
Congrats to the team, Laura, but what a sad and scary situation.
I spent the afternoon at an interesting training and then got a nice email from my big boss! So I had a good afternoon, anyway.
Timelies all!
We had a two hour arrival leeway at work today, though I got there basically at my usual time.

Both schools are very large schools in very rough areas. Homeless kids, kids with drug addict parents, incarcerated parents, living by couch surfing with friends or through one charity group or another. DH has headed out at early hours to drive kids to school that end up staying somewhere where they don't have a way to school, but they won't be able to play ball if they miss school. Sports is a way out for so many kids, but they can't play college ball unless they have grades. There is nothing that destroys DH more than when one of his kids just gives up and takes the easy route of selling drugs. It is hard to resist when your parents and all the people with the nice cars are doing it.
These kids, many immigrants, that fight through such conditions, get great grades, practice their sports skills relentlessly, and go forward with college scholarships inspire me every day. Mentors like Brendon give back so much. Some of the kids he coached now are college graduates giving back to their communities.
