Compassionately intolerant

hee, hee, yeah, bee. good one.
Count on me for the corny knee-slapper.

I love that tile, despite being fairly anti-visual noise. Being the feature in an otherwise calm design would be smashing.

Despite having a philosophy of 'believe nothing but entertain all possibilities', I am beginning to wonder if this 'all the planets are retrograde' doesn't actually have an impact. People are wildin' in my close proximity and I am not liking it. I'm not usually the one telling people to calm down but SHEESH.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

if it isn't cotton or linen, I don't want to wear it more than a few hours.

preach, Sister! I wear a fair amount of mens' clothing. they are always in better color, better made, and easier to find in natural fabrics.

My work from home clothes are knit shorts and a comfy t-shirt. I also have different, inside and outside shoes.

knit boxers

I "discovered' these recently, and I LOVE and LIVE in them. I am wearing a pair under a knee length chambray shirt dress right now. Though, I wore regular undies when I was out and about today.

They're so versatile and comfortable! It was a revelation. My husband was amused. I mean, I had been wearing the woven boxers, but jersey knit? Yes, please!

Hivemind - have any of you heard of a 2:1 meeting referring to a second 1:1 for an employee? or a 1:1 with an employee's boss's boss?

I haven't run across those terms. 1:1s with boss's boss are skip levels in my world.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm in a chair in the sky, descending upon ATL.

Wishing I could meet Ginger at Waffle House.

Seems like my nephew (who lives in FL) might be staying at another hotel by the ATL airport. In which case...I'd get to see him. Which was not on the agenda and totally random. Or maybe not because he might be driving up to see his mom too, which makes sense.

I'm afraid that all this cancer related travel has taken the glamour out of air travel for me.

Always Anti-fascist!

Good luck, Hec. I wish it wasn't such a wheelchair bender, myself.

Our wings are not tired.

May the visit be comforting to all, David.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

have any of you heard of a 2:1 meeting referring to a second 1:1 for an employee? or a 1:1 with an employee's boss's boss?

No, we just call them a 1:1 with whoever. 2:1 sounds like you are meeting with them both at once which I guess could happen, IDK

Hope it's a good visit, Hec

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hivemind - have any of you heard of a 2:1 meeting referring to a second 1:1 for an employee? or a 1:1 with an employee's boss's boss?

No. That is like they are applying second cousin once removed logic. And I work in academia and we be crazy. I have heard of skip level. I would think a 2:1 is two bosses one report, which is my situation but to much a reminder of two girls one cup, and what is the internet.

I hope you visit with your sister goes Ok, Hec I won’t say well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Urk. 4 hour flight and there’s a massive line for my rental car. And all the other places have no lines at all.

This is going to take an hour.

Fucking hell.
