And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Our wings are not tired.

Not sure if this will keep my SIL here. I think she is JFK.

The despicable occupant of the White House is apparently announcing something. I'll catch it later. Don't want to actually listen to him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes half-assedly starting a project makes it easier to really complete it well later.

This is my hope!

Call for my boss at 8:20 this morning to find a meeting room (offsite) for all employees (54) for meeting tomorrow, a Saturday!!!! Mandatory, no warning,

What the hell? Do you have any idea what it's about?

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

Not sure if this will keep my SIL here. I think she is JFK.

All of the NYC airports are pretty fucked right now.

And it's apparently the three-week continuing resolution.

Yes, WaPo is reporting a 3 week reopening without the wall $. I hope this is the case. Until it is signed he can always change his mind.

That is insane! Wow. Any idea what is so urgent?

Hmmm, conjecture he is only doing this 3 week thing so he can give his precious SOTU address.

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

It is a safety meeting. Was originally going to be in a week or two, but there were 3 incidents yesterday and my boss is impulsive and ADD, so this is what happens.

My workplace works Saturdays, just not the office people, so most of the employees will already be at work and will go to meeting after that. The rest of us? Too bad so sad. I'll be getting overtime though.

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

Once they re-open the government Trump loses all leverage. And he doesn't have the votes.

The Dems will give some money for border security that's not a Slatty Wall and Trump will lie and say he won.

I don't know why Trump has been so intransigent about the wall. He lies about shit he didn't do all the time. He can just lie and say he won.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That doesn't sound... good? OTOH, if they hardly ever need AV for layoffs, so. fingers crossed, here.

Oh jeez. At least you get the overtime! And it's not something like your office is closing.
