Oh, hey, and the book is out today. I'm going to have to psych myself up to read it, so much of it is going to be what I kind of knew but didn't know was exactly that bad and that is all going to be rough.

Sorry about the credit card, Tep, that sucks.

Entertainment~ma for Matilda. I feel like there must be an Grampa Simpson recommendation to be made but I can't recall

I guess I could tie some onions to her belt.

Deciding if I want to click Jesse's link.

I did. That was quite a moving read.

I have tabs open with the alien stuff. More fun to read than the usual news stuff.

There was a big Internet outage in lower Manhattan yesterday, caused by workers cutting through a data cable. My workplace is describing it as a "Force Majeure event".

Now I'm wondering if there ever was a superhero (or supervillain) team called Force Majeure, and why not?

Hec I wish you lived closer because I would totally keep Matilda entertained by paying her to entertain ltc.

Half of what makes it tough is parent stuff, so if you have any parent stuff, definitely make sure you are in a quiet room first! (This essay is not from the book.)

Ugh, my credit card has fraudulent charges. My bank is on top of it, which is great, but it's such a pain in the ass to have the card cancelled, wait for the new card to be sent, and then have a whole new credit card number to memorize.

That is so annoying.

I usually love when my meetings are canceled but sometimes I want the info and pinning someone down that a meeting allows for and canceling it means I have to keep sending annoyed emails. Do not like.

Also annoying!!

Argh also really annoying: booked a haircut a few weeks ago, stylist just canceled on me. Not the most important thing at all but once I really wanted to deal with and have done and was glad I’d managed to schedule.

I feel like Force Majeure would have to be a villain?? But totally should be.

But Major Force sounds so positive and strong!

I guess I could tie some onions to her belt.

Always a solid reference

There was a Force Majeure on the Venture Brothers! [link]
