'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow. That poor kid and his family, and I really wonder what the story is behind this. [link]
BOSTON — A North Carolina teenager whose mangled body was found inexplicably in a Boston suburb last month likely stowed away inside the wheel well of a commercial aircraft and fell to his death as the plane lowered its landing gear on its approach to Logan Airport, authorities said Friday.
They still don't know how he got past airport security to be able to get to the plane.
Oh yeah, that story is horrible.
Oh, god, what a horrifying story.
He still had a hall pass from his high school in his pocket. They might still be trying to find out who he was without it.
I'm watching Psych, and I love that right when I think "Hey, Top Gun!" they say, "This is so Top Gun." They will never let anything go unremarked.
Happy birthday, Consuela!!
Happy birthday, Consuela!
Our team outing today actually turned out to be a chocolate tour, so that was pretty okay. I bought two cupcakes (one dark chocolate with dark chocolate filling, the other is called "Bacon Bacon Bacon"), some Belgian bread, plus asiago dip and roasted garlic mozz dip for the bread.
And I possibly have some ideas for Christmas gifts now.
There is a Chocolate Show down in Colorado Springs on Sunday. I am waffling about going.
In I'm-a-grumpy-old-woman news - I just got home from the grocery store. There was a woman with two young kids who was doing a major coupon shop. She had a very organized coupon system and was meticulous about matching every item to a coupon. The two young kids, on the other hand, were completely ignored and, unsurprisingly, they were driving everyone in the area nuts. When the young boy started panicking about needing the bathroom, she ignored him and then finally pointed him to the bathroom on the other side of the store. Kid was maybe 5 years old, in a jammed store, and she sends him on his own? Grrrrrrrrrrr. Either leave the kids at home or find a way to balance your coupons and your kids.
OK, so remember how I had the freaky garage experience and emailed security? Email got forwarded to someone whose only identifier as to position is "Major" but no other title, with phone #s, asking me to call. Now, It's a campus address, so probably just a security manager or something just firing off a response, BUT EXTRA FREAKY. I am so not calling from home, only work, where I know my security people and am behind 2 passcard doors. These folks are failing on so many levels, it boggles.

Oh my god. I can't imagine being either that focused or ignorant of the environment. Maybe I project too much into the future, but having to rationalize what I was doing vs. having lost my child would be impossible. I can't even let my dog out of my sight!
