Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

I think you might need to hold out for a butt-warmer! It'll make you happy in February.

Wow, Tep! Brand new car with fancy package is a big milestone!

I have to ask, are you getting a Black Friday deal? We kept seeing ads for BF sales at car dealerships while watching football on Thanksgiving and my dad wondered if those actually brought in customers

Also, from what I see in TV ads, all new cars delivered in December are supposed to come with giant red bows.

I do really want the heated seats. A lot.

I don't think so? We just browsed online.

Also, from what I see in TV ads, all new cars delivered in December are supposed to come with giant red bows.

We bought our current Corolla in December of 2015, and that dealer had one of those bows if people want to take a picture with it on their car. Which of course we did.

Non-car-related, I woke up with a migraine and require morphine so that my poor, pitiful self can survive until the Ubrelvy kicks in (she says, while continuing to stare at a computer screen because she is a ridiculous person). And yet there is no morphine. Woe.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And here I thought I might have escaped that... :D

Nope.

So sorry about the migraine, Tep. Wishing you pain-relief and big red bows and butt-warmers

ETA and thank you for completing my marketing survey, your satisfaction is important to us

Some of my project managers are suggesting I publicly shame other project managers for not providing update information by the release notes deadline. I think they've either forgotten who they're suggesting this to, or forgotten that under my cheerful demeanor lurks someone who likes menacing people.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Suddenly glad to not be a project manager who failed to deliver project management stuff to Atropa.

Migraine, begone!

New Car, be-near!

Thanks so very much, everyone.

More hugs and other warm thoughts to all and sundry.

Release notes, ptui.

I actually have the miracle of all miracles: developers who document what they do.
