On the other hand, I was VICTORIOUS! In getting someone to put some words on a piece of paper and getting someone else to print it out on big nice paper. This took many emails and phone calls to accomplish and potentially made someone important mad at me.

If only it were Wednesday, this would be perfect for David Schwartz's Small Victory Wednesday.

Woot! Tiny Victory Thursday!

Congrats, erika! sj, I hope your ankle is ok. Glad you got your meds, Dana. askye, I hope your dad stays safe. Interview ~ma for Tim!

Here at UNC, they declared adverse weather conditions as of 2:00 p.m., (meaning we can go home) right around the time that the county we are in sent out a warning not to drive unless it's an emergency because of flash flooding. Brilliant!

Two conversations I had with my 26-year-old co-worker today:

1) Me: "You should go see the new Joan Jett documentary. It's really good."

Her: ::writes it down:: "OK. What's it called?"

Me: "Bad Reputation."

Her: "OK. Who's Joan Jett?"

2) Her: "Haha, the guy I'm responding to has a really hilarious last name. Shelley."

Me: "...What's funny?"

Her: "I don't know...like he lives in a shell...like a turtle?"

Me: "Is it spelled S-H-E-L-L-E-Y?"

Her: "Yes."

Me: "So, like Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley."

Her: "This is going to be another one of those times that you talk about people I've never heard of. I've never heard of those people."

26 is too young to be a Millennial, right? Do we have a name for Young People OMG now that Millennials are grown up?

I think people born in 97 are the tail-end of the millennials, so 26 is not too young.

Mental Floss contends 96 was the last year millennials were born. [link]

The Atlantic keeps Gen Y following Gen X, then adds in millennials, who they say were born between 82 and 2004. [link]

I am making so many sad faces at your post, amych.

In band the other day, a kid (an actual child, maybe 12?) was trying to figure out how to play a piece of our arrangement of "Respect" and someone asked him if he knew the original song, and the answer was no. I blame his parents, but that is so sad!

Not recognizing the Shelleys isn't Millennial. It's just someone who needs an English lit refresher.

sj, I hope your ankle's problems are easily resolved.

Job~ma to Tim!

amyth, give me a buzz if you need a ride back home. They didn't let us out early per se, but everyone sort of collectively took a work from home day at noon. So I'm home.

I'm getting an X-ray.

Here's to cool superpowers!

Agreed! (Meant to write that earlier, but was so excited about getting a ride home from work, I forgot!)

I would love a ride, Calli! Anny said she'd get me, but she works a lot later than I do, especially today. Thanks! (I'll text you.)
