Very glad to hear that Daniel is coming home!
I am also getting the Warnock emails. For a while there I thought Val Demings was trying to be my BFF with all the text messages.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Val Demings catches my eye because I can never remember why that name is vaguely familiar until I at least read the subject line. Reminds me of someone I actually know, I think.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Martin Sheen (or perhaps an agent writing in his name) was after me to donate to various candidates for a while. I liked The West Wing, but I also don't let fictional presidents tell me who to donate to.

Julia Louis Dreyfus texted me and I didn't even watch Veep

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Glad that Daniel's coming home soon!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My boss said we "had no choice" but to lay people off because revenue is way down from expectation, and that part is true but we are already so lean from attrition and previous layoffs that claiming we are trimming the fat seems ridiculous. We are losing muscle mass and have been for a while, to strain the metaphor. If he tells us that this layoff supports our 3 Year Vision I may scream.
Ugh, -t. I've never been so happy about a bad situation as when a leader at the place I worked at finally said it was time to do less with less. At least he was being honest.

Well, we are still due an official notice from the managing director or the People director or someone, from what we were told this morning, so someone might come through with something along those lines.

Ah, Managing Director sending an email after 5pm on Friday and leaning heavily on "rightsizing". Sigh.
I guess I'll find out next week how we are going to reorganize my particular team. We were almost finished with the last reorg, but the person who was laid off definitely will leave a hole in our planned workflow. Over a year of not really knowing what my job is, I'm so very tired of it.

At urgent vet with Miley. She threw up last night and today and had diarrhea, which I’d normally ride out, but with her diabetes I want looked at.
