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

That sounds like an excellent experience

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

The scenario they asked was: "How would you handle kids at the end of the day to get ready for pickup?"

And she said, "I'd call all the kids together, and I'd have them empty all the sand out of their shoes. Then I'd have them put away what was left of their lunch, or throw away the garbage. Then we'd do a headcount, and then I'd make sure they all went to the bathroom. And then I'd do a second headcount after we lined them all up. If anybody was missing, I'd have one counselor stay with the line and then go find the kid in the bathroom."

And the interviewer said, "Oh, she's good!"

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Way better at it than I would be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent!

What is even happening?

My fingers are crossed for Matilda. Those are excellent answers. I've staffed childcare for church events (including teen helpers). I'd absolutely favor a young person who gave answers like that.

Hil, I am sorry for you and your family's loss. It is always difficult, but so much more difficult in these times. I hope you can find a way to grieve. If there's anything I can do from Jerusalem that is faith-related/location based, let me know. (This offer goes to any of you who lost someone and has some kind of spiritual connection to this city).

JenP, congrats on the new home!

And lots and lots of job and wonderful things~ma and awe to Matilda.

Whoever decided that our first general price increase in a decade should officially start the day before a holiday and long weekend is getting the stinkeye from me this morning. Although I expect I will feel even less kindly towards them on Monday when half the department is taking the day off.

Also, the letter template we were given to communicate to retailers is making very poor use of the table format

Our wings are not tired.

Ha, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch, Matt.
