Oh, I somehow missed ND'S post -- I'm so sorry about Seamus. I'm glad he went purring and with the people who gave him a great life.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

So sorry about Seamus, Drew. What a way for a vacation to end.
David that’s really nice that it was so quick and easy at the DMV! I have to renew my license next month (omg August is next month) and am not sure if it’ll be online easy or go to DMV hard.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It’s an escalation. She is overwhelmed and feels like everyone comes to her for everything, but also fails to give true support to those under her to lead.
She thinks she is giving people opportunities to lead by dumping on them. Like I have a PowerPoint to do for a meeting on Monday. I have several unanswered questions on it. She does not answer them or direct me to who to ask and just sends an email saying, I need it completed and to me by end of day.
So I’m going to go over her and ask her boss. I have my questions to her documented in writing twice. Or I’ll make up stuff or make “unknowns” part of the slides.

Msbelle that sounds like an awful work situation. I’m sorry.

Punishingly Intricate
If it were my presentation, I’d have an “unknowns” section where appropriate on the slides and speak to your best guesses in your script. Just have that conversation be part of the presentation rather than something that’s blocking you I’m an irritating way.

I’m assuming you already had a f2f (in person or virtual) meeting with her to review your remaining questions in the deck. If not, put one on her schedule! (& forgive me if you just want to vent and don’t want help with solutions!)

On the lighter side, it looks like flying cars may be here before long.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry about Seamus, ND.
We took Gary's mom out to dinner for her 80th birthday. Good food and nice weather for sitting outside in the shade.(She still won't eat inside a restaurant)
Flying cars? With the way people drive on the ground(especially around here), do we really want to have people in the air?

I really don't.
