Yes, please report back. K-Bug was bemoaning how she wanted ONE pancake a couple of days ago.

So basically, one of my worst work nightmares?

Happened.

2 months ago.

And no one noticed, until I got curious about something.

And it is bad.

Like top of the food chain bad.

And we don't know how to fix it.

Except to start by tossing everything and starting over.

It's really, really, really bad.

I feell kind of sick.

(again, not my fault so I shouldn't feel this ill, the fault of something written 12 years ago and not touched since. So it needs to be redone, and should have been on the list of things rewritten 4 years ago, but wasn't. But it is baaad, folks. And I was the messenger. Uhg.)

Oh, sarameg, that bites. Sorry about it. But remember it's not your fault. In fact, remember they'd be in a deeper hole without you if you hadn't had the initiative to check into it.

Ugh, Sarameg, I'm sorry for the sucky situation. Liese is wise, and you should listen to her.

Are you okay there, Sox?

I'm ok. I am boggled and it is going to take a while to deal - or (once again) quitting. That will fix it, surely. I can't find the forking argument for: if idiot > 0 and idiot.self.involvement=++, then sox.invisible.

I am sharing my much-loved headpadding with sarameg. they should know that you did them a great service, instead of going for the "someone else will take care of this" easy out.

Oh dear, Sara.

David's father's name in Hebrew is pronounced "yishay". If you write it in Hebrew letters, they aren't the ones you use in order to write the name "Jesse". In the name "David", for example, you pronounce the name differently in Hebrew than in English (the "a" is like in "aragorn", for example, not like in, um, say, "say"). You can write it down in Hebrew letters to let the reader know that you pronounce it the English way rather than the Hebrew way (the spelling would change a bit), but still, it's just adding a couple of letters, not a whole differently-written name.

Interesting! (And I know what you mean about the pronunciation of David -- I once had an Israeli roommate whose boyfriend was named David, so we heard a lot of "Dah-veed!")

Oh, sara, I'm so sorry you had to be the messenger of something that was nightmarish for you to begin with.

I wasn't dreading going to work this morning. And then Dallas happened again. Oh, Dallas, why so bane of my existence?

Oh, Dallas, why so bane of my existence?

t resists saying mean things about Dallas for DJ's sake

But rest assured that most of the rest of Texas dislikes Dallas, so you have lots of company.

I have a love/hate thing with Dallas. But yeah, the attitude of the people who run the place, and think they do kinda sucks.

On the other hand, if I were still back in Louisiana, I wouldn't have seen Sweeny Todd with the original actors from the Broadway revival nor would I be seeing Shostakovich this Saturday.
