What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Yikes and I thought trying to get people who send vacation as meeting requests to send them as free instead of busy was annoying! I generally just mark my own calendar out of office (which anyone in the company can see, though not how I label it) and send to my closest colleagues a meeting request for the time I’ll be gone but marked as free so it doesn’t block their calendars but they can quickly see that I’m out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

When I'm on a Zoom call, I have to go on Teams and mark myself as "do not disturb" ... and then remember to go back and mark myself a available. Outlook and Teams do not seem to work well together.

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

Timelies all!

It is gray here, though not raining. Still, bleah.

Our wings are not tired.

The calendar shows a triple Buffista birthday! Wishes for a wonderful day filled with treats and love for Matt the Bruins fan, megan walker, and Cashmere.

DH arrived last night about midnight. Good to have him here.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I saw that elsewhere. I'd have been dubious if I'd seen the stuff in the store; after reading that, I know it's a bad idea. ick

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

Just thinking of all the people who had to say "yes, let's do this" from the idea stage to actually sending bags of candy to stores for that to happen is pretty amazing.

And how many people will buy a bag to see if it's really that terrible? or because they honestly think it'll be good?

That is a weird marketing strategy but if it works it works
