Dear god how do people work in offices 9-5? Actually, how do people work in cubicles?
I'm stuck and can't move forward because the people I need to talk to have been having the most boring meeting ever. Really wish I had a door right now so I could sit back and knit or play zelda on my phone or something. Actually, I REALLY wish I saw the money that I am actually billing for instead of being ****ing salaried. Then they could yammer on as long as they want.
deebz just doesn't have an Anglo/Mediterranean look, that is,... definitely Caucasian but NOT waspy at all, can have a tad of ethnic ambiguity, but in that mediterranean sense...

Reason: FFS could she just write SWARTHY, she means swarthy.
DBZ is aware that I am happy to help. She can answer the rest if she cares to.
On a downer note, as you might imagine the situation with my wife's best friend's family is an absolute disaster. If an infant dies in your home you're having a conversation with the police, for one. Imagine...that. And an autopsy. And finding a place to bury your child. Just beyond comprehension. It's a close-knit family, they've circled the wagons and are going through it together, but this is still very much potentially life-ruining for many of them. I think it's impossible to know how you'd react to an event like this, God willing none of us ever learn.
Close friends of my family went through it. They pretty much just closed themselves off from everyone while they dealt with it. I imagine trying to deal with condolence messages from well-meaning friends would've been impossible to handle. Ugh.
Maybe at my age I should take it easy on myself but I might be the biggest computer putz on this forum. I had to have my hard drive replaced today. Thank goodness everything was recoverable off of the old one (I bought an external HD today). Tech guy says it'll be almost like new. So I plug it in and have to reset the Wifi, go to type in the password................and nothing happens. Try again and again. Then 'DOH'! I realize that I haven't plugged in the keyboard. Try again and again, nothing happens. Then I realize that I'd plugged in the iPod wire instead. But, ok, here I am, happy again.

btw, and it's a big btw, imo: OOT and 2p2 in general should be proud. The Jewish thread was a risk and it turned out pretty darn good, imo, unless there were a bunch of reported/deleted posts that I don't know about but I don't think there were. People have been very honest and decent in that thread and I'm really glad of it.
Were you at work, maybe you shouldn't, as it might not be safe there ('cause of Wolves, those things will ****ing eat you) and also you might get fired for looking at stuff.
You should definitely take it easy on yourself Howard.
Also one of these days we are meeting up dammit.
I'm looking forward to it. Did I see you say that you're in Phoenix every now and then? Send me a note if you want to play some poker or have a coffee or something.

I've always wondered where you guys get these gif things so now I'm asking:
Scenario: In planning for next year due to budget, a principal has to fire 6 of the 17 first year teachers from this year. The principal has to let all 17 know one way or the other this week. Assuming you are one of the 17, is this email good news or bad?
Subject: Please see me!
Come see me during your planning period at your convenience.
