Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
At one point our VP said something along the lines of "There's no secret plan we are hiding from you, this is what we think will work so we are trying it" so now I am pretty sure there is a secret plan they are hiding from us. Or maybe just from me. Although having lunch helped a bit with that.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Logging on briefly from spring break in the Catskills (where we had a very loud windy snowstorm this morning - this region is lovely but also BAD AT SPRING) to say that Serious Eats' 2 minute mayo recipe is, as far as I can tell, foolproof. I have NEVER had it go wrong.
Good luck with the vaccine appointments!
So in MA it's generally been impossible to get an appointment at any normal time, so the word on the street is to pick a different state that has appointments available, which gets you into the signup system. You can do that part in advance, so you are ready at 12:05 or 6:05 to click the search button. I do not understand how this helps! But the local vax mavens swear by it.
This is basically what I did for NY - pick any location with available appointments, go through the signup process where you enter all your personal info, and then you can "edit" your appointment to a location that's not 400 miles away.

CA MyTurn just texted me that I might be eligible for the vaccine - 1 week after got an appointment but 3 before I get the shot, so, that's something, I guess.

I just got an email confirming my second dose for April 10th. Awesome. They're supposed to text me with a time slot on the 9th, but if they don't, they said to just show up between 11a and 3p. OK. I can do that. Yay!
I am so excited. Many of.my close friends are vaccinated or will be around the same time. I'm not sure I remember how to socialize in person, but I'm willing to re-learn.

Meant to say, -t, WTF with the reorgs? Way to freak out a workforce multiple times a year. Geez.

I am starting to think that someone decided that since we're all confused about what's going in general due to the pandemic, why not throw in more confusion and change whenever the possibility arises.
But I have reached the end of the day and tomorrow is a holiday so I don't have to think about it for 3 whole days, hooray!

raises hand "Who's responsible for coming up with this secret plan that doesn't exist, and why can't they get their act together?"

Exactly, Matt! I mean, are we cylons or what?
But if I say that I’ll be the one who has to come up with the secret plan and I do not need more to do

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Y'all, I had a dream last night that we were having an F2F, and what I remember really specifically is that Scola was making French toast for everyone. I have been wanting French toast ALL DAY, dang it. (I could make some, but would it be as good as dream French toast made by Scola? Highly doubtful.)
