Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Sumi!
There was another incident at school with Mr. S. They called Gary, who texted the nanny. I hope the rest of the week goes better.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

but seriously, are you okay with her breaking your O-based naming theme.
Ha! I thought about that.
I love nature-based names, though!
Piranhas All the Way Down—that is high school to a T.

David, (thanks to her stint in college radio) Robin’s listening choices include:
Animal Collective, Xiu Xiu, Yves Tumor, Sweet Trip, black midi, Dean Blunt, Aphex Twin, Car Seat Headrest, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
She isn’t as tiny as Oliver—more grown up human size, so she wears a large t.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A couple of years ago, in the elevator in my old apartment building, I ran into a young man wearing a Bad Religion t-shirt. He was quite impressed that I - an older woman - did not run away in horror. He was also impressed when I told him I'd met the mother of their lead singer, so I not only knew who they were but knew someone connected to them.

Our wings are not tired.
Cool cred there! Young people are so surprised when we know stuff.

Thrive to spite them
Robin and Oliver are cool names and cool kids with great parents.
I get wanting to wait until after high school.

I'm a little unsure if this is more cute than creepy or the other way 'round.

Ugh. Found a problem with my project yesterday—a bunch of reports were using the wrong template. It’s not easy to tell what template was used (it really ought to be but it’s not in any of our summary lists or anything, you have to go into each report). I found one was my bad but most were from before me. The person writing the report was the one who did it wrong but I review them and ought to have noticed. So I emailed the person who was before me and said heads up, we found this, not just from you, and just wanted to let you know so you can be careful when reviewing in the future. She apparently is “intimidated” by me and thought I was “mad” at her and talked to her boss and replied angrily to me by cc’ing MY boss to say “ask [the other person who was also doing reviews]”. I just talked with her on the phone and was like dude, I emailed just you, to give you a heads up. I didn’t cc your boss, I was only “mad” at you in that this is some more work for me but you weren’t the only one who did it so it’s not an isolated issue. Just….ugh.
