Nice to see you, juliana!
Happy Birthday, Toddson!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Readiness for what? The zombie apocalypse?

Happy B-day Toddson!
Gud, I have totally been there with updates at cross-purposes. Good on you for getting it resolved and good luck with your family.
Steph I haven't been to the beach since the last time I visited Galveston, and then there wasn't much actual Beach Time, just a moment to stare out at the ocean. Enjoy while you can!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My fucking dad is still very anemic and he knows the cause is gastrointestinal, based on the evidence in his own poo. He’s refusing a colonoscopy/endoscopy to try to figure out the source. And the PT and OT strongly recommend discharge to a skilled nursing facility so he can get PT/OT for the leg he injured in February. He is, of course refusing. He’s demanding to be discharged back home.
I am incandescent with rage. He’d better not call me asking for help with any of this, when he’s turning down treatment while he’s still literally in a place that provides said treatment. Fuck that arrogant, stupid old man.

Our wings are not tired.
So frustrating! I'm sorry, Teppy.

Happy birthday, Toddson!
Gud and juliana, nice to see your pixels!
I ended up at work until 7 pm. And I did, in fact, sort of say that out loud!
OH, COME ON. I'm glad you did say something! I'm usually the loudmouth pointing out that a launch date is on a weekend or when the supporting Eng team has a holiday.
I am incandescent with rage.
Well, if you're going to have flames on the side of your face, I'm extra glad you went on vacation.

It doesn't actually say but I think activity in general? It suggested I do some light yoga and I tried that but the video was asking me to do stuff I couldn't so I'm feeling a little betrayed. I am probably less than 1 prepared for the zombie apocalypse unless resignation to being eaten gets me more.
Argh, dad of Tep. Argh!

YES
Maybe have some nice cooling sushi to compensate

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wish Julia Sugarbaker speeches worked in the real world. You could let him have it, we could applaud heartily, he'd be suitably chastened and y'all would hug it out - roll credits.
I'm sorry you're going through this. Your last nerve can only take so much.

I have been volunteered to train people in using Excel Pivot tables. I didn't really mean to agree to it, I thought we were just opening the discussion of what that would involve so I could decide if I wanted to but I seem to be committed. Oops. Well, that's something to work on when I don't know what my actual job is, I suppose, and that has been an issue lately.
