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.

That's a tough one to call, Todd.

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.

Oh, meara, ugh, indeed.

Toddson, teeth creep me out, so, I lean creepy.

Dang. I've always taken a personal, no CC message informing me of an error as a courtesy that lets me correct something without anyone else having to know. And that's my customary practice to avoid embarrassing both people who report to me and specific personnel at a client, as long as it's not an issue that other people need to be made aware of.

Ugh, meara. You shouldn't need to walk on eggshells with her. Also, what Matt said.

Robin & Oliver: 1st bows & arrows, then green outfits & then - archery on horseback.

My first full day as a 60 year old has been uneventful. My arm is sore from the booster shot but not too bad.

I don't have internet on my phone, and I'll be turning the laptop over to the Geeks in about an hour. If nobody hears from me in a week, send help. Or a St. Bernard with brandy. No, there's flooding everywhere but the fact that water stopped falling from the sky last night and we've had sun all day has helped with that, and there's no snow. Neither of those things should interfere with the brandy delivery. Wish me deft and accurate Geeks and a swift return of the laptop.

Meanwhile y'all be safe and dry.

Cash, I am so utterly BEYOND delighted for Robin and Oliver, both for finding who they are, and for having such loving support around them. You done good.

Sumi, slightly belated happy birthday!

I'm always a few days late catching up, and post much less often than I read, so all the appropriate wishes to all the lovely people!
