Still with the Covid brain here, so I am late to announce that we celebrate the birthdays of Emily and quester today, as well as my DH, so excellent humans all! May all have the best of birthdays and may the year to come bring joy and laughter.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Happy birthday to Emily, Quester, and B!!
lisah, that really, really bites. More than once we have come back from a family vacation and had to go say goodbye to a pet. It is, apparently, A Thing. Which absolutely does not make it easier to experience. I’m so sorry.
I wish I had something helpful to say, Pix. All I have is my love and compassion.

I'm so sorry, Lisa. We had something similar happen with our kitty Seamus this past summer. It's so hard.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’m sorry about the fraught situation with your dad, Pix.
Lisah, I’m so sorry about your cat.
Just got back from the family Christmas festivities. There are three kids under five involved, so the chaos level is high. It’s fun for the short period I’m there, but it definitely wipes my introverted self right out. Now I’m home under the cat, waiting for a pizza.

Argh. Just got an email from a head of brand asking myteam to do something by next Wednesday that I, for one, do not see how we could possibly do it or why we would even be involved, but my boss has taken the rest of today and tomorrow off, and my other teammate is gone for the day and our VP is on vacation. I'm not going to answer. Hopefully someone else will check their email by tomorrow. If no one else says anything by EOD tomorrow I will just panic, I guess.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I, for one, do not see how we could possibly do it or why we would even be involved,
How about replying, "This needs to be cleared by [boss], and they won't be available until Monday" with a separate email punting the issue to [boss] saying, "Do you know why they think we should be involved? Do you know who the right team is, to do this work?
My last boss was very averse to any team trying to dump their work on us. Helping out was okay -- if they asked nicely, and cleared it in advance.

I may say something like that tomorrow (although "until Tuesday" because holiday) if no one else responds. The request is to my whole team and our VP and the sales team and some of Marketing and maybe someone in one of those groups is working tomorrow and knows who this would belong to.
