Ah, Holli has responded to the thing:

There's been a lot about William Shatner going into space. A photo of him with a couple of other people who went up with him was (I assume) altered so that his jacket was the gold of his shirt on the show and the others' jackets were red. There's also this.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I saw a post somewhere (probably Tumblr) with a headline that said something like "William Shatner to be sent into space" and the comment under it said "That makes it sound involuntary on Shatner's part."

Ha, I saw the news alert and said to my coworker, "Wow, William Shatner has finally launched into space at age 90," and she immediately said, "He died?!"

FB has been showing me a lot about Shatner going to space.
Oh, good, now I can follow Holli on tumblr (not that I ever actually am on tumblr but I do have an account and follow people). Her hashtags are on point.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
Is this where we talk about the IATSE negotiations? There's a toolkit for union and non-union people who want to offer support. Their Twitter feed is here.

I saw that John Deere has non-union people working on their shop floor. Seemingly, before 8am, there was an accident and an ambulance had to arrive.

Yep - they gave about 650 white-collar workers from engineering and management some training and put them on the lines.

Obviously not enough training or not the right kind. A girl I went to college with took a summer job in a factory and, without the right training or equipment, ended up having one hand badly injured.

That all sounds typical. Thanks for the link, amyparker.
This is a very specific to my exact job complaint, but, as of yesterday I had 7 Zulily events that I need to reserve inventory for before they start. I even told someone yesterday morning not to schedule time with me yesterday because I expected to be working on that all day. Well, of course I had a bunch of other stuff I had to deal with yesterday and I only got one done. Fortunately, they don't actually start until tomorrow, so I figured that was fine I'd do it today. Because I cannot learn from experience even while I'm in the middle of experiencing. So today I have only managed to get 2 more done so far because of all the other urgent stuff that has come up.
In short: whine.
