Ugh maybe it was all a ruse to make us grateful for whoever it is being less bad than Gaetz but still awful? I hate this timeline.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I say no takebacks on his resignation from Congress.

Sadly, he doesn't have to take it back. He resigned from the 118th Congress. Although he said at the time he wouldn't take his seat in the 119th, nothing technically prevents him from doing so.

Timelies all!
Today we had our usual pre-Thanksgiving potluck. It was also a retirement party for my supervisor.(that part was a surprise) Way too much food because many people other than those in our group were invited.
Mr. S was admitted to the residential treatment center today, going right from the in-patient behavioral unit he had been in for the last few weeks. Lets hope this helps him get stabilized.

Megan, if he does decide to do that won’t the report about him become public?

It's essentially up to the Republicans and they need the seat so badly I think they won't let a vote to release it happen. However, I've given up predicting what will happen in January. "Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst" is my motto these days.
ETA: Right now it looks like Dems are on track to start the session with one more seat than they have currently. Either way, if a few people get plucked for the administration there will be no margin of error for Republicans to fall back on for a least a couple of months.

I don’t even know how but I let my passport expire. My sister’s expires in a few months. Neither of us trust mailing passports in at this point - OK, I don’t - So I just made an emergency passport appointment next week and bought refundable tickets to Mexico that will be canceled immediately after we have our new passports in our hands
We are actually thinking about going to Mexico late January just to be the F out of here on inauguration day. May or may not happen. I have some leftover, but I’m not sure if I want to blow them.

This morning's irritation: Companies that make their customer service people say things like "And whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with today?"
My entire team including normally remote people was here for the last three days, and it was very nice to meet everyone, and after three days of workshops and meetings and socializing, I never want to see people or leave my house ever again.
