Happy Birthday, Jon B!
I hope the Kia turns out to be your dream car, Laura.
Thanks, all, for the happy birthday wishes. You're the bestest!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, and the state senate just passed a bill saying that university faculty aren't allowed to strike.

Oh, no, Hil, that is a whole lot of bad!

Good grief, Hil.

Ugh. This fucking world.
And I'm sorry to do this to you all, but I saw something yesterday that I can't get out of my skull and now you get to suffer too. Jillifonting for the timorous (though no Jillifonts are involved.)
I was on a Teams call and one person was in our Atlanta office, and the onscreen data showed that he was sitting in a "collabocus" room.
There's no other way to view that than a crime against society and the English language. It may have pushed me fully over to team Giant Asteroid (+ now with bonus newly discovered/desecrated Egyptian tomb!).

Happy belated birthday, Beverly!

I thought I was prepared for the Jillifont as a corporate American, but my face went on a journey of slow dawning horror.

I don’t even understand what that word is supposed to mean?? I am team “maybe it’s a typo”?
Hil that sounds like a shitshow nightmare. Of COURSE just when you need her most they get rid of the lady with institutional knowledge

Like meara, I can't even tell what they're trying to morph there!
Oh, god, no, I just got it. Collaborate and focus? My eyes are @@ down the hall and out the door. Good god.

Only okay if they are using an abacus

Ohhh Jen is more corporate that I am! I was with -t on the abacus.
