Argh.

I cannot find my keys.

They don't appear to be anywhere in the vicinity of the last place I left them (that I recall) nor are they in any of the other places that I thought that they might be (pocket of my jeans, somewhere in one of the two bags I've used this week.)

Must find them!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did some kind or siren or Walker Signal go off?

Darn right, clafoutis!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, I love it when my coworker starts going off about adjacencies. Do other people have these issues in their workplaces? Is it just because we moved 3 years ago?

I have clafoutis radar. It's a special gift. Plus, I'm currently glued to the InterWebs for word that I can make things all official and sh*t.

Wow. I was looking at the website for the July 4th thing here, and it gets 60,000 - 80,000 people. That's nearly half the population of the county, and it's not counting the people who watch the fireworks from somewhere other than the official viewing area.

maybe impending clafoutis, even transcontinentally, will give you strength

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rum and thy cream, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou annointest my lips with clafoutis; My stomach runneth over.

The lying to clients thing is what strikes me as the most egregious - surely if a client complained about this, the higher-ups would have to take notice, right?

You would think. But the clients don't know they're being lied to.

I have a "public" spreadsheet that shows the status and priorities of my projects, and indicates who owns the current task. She's tagged for all her work. This thing has been updated regularly for two years now, and has had no discernable effect on her behavior, or her treatment.

I can't take my work away from her (much as I would love to) because she's been designated the Subject Matter Specialist for my program.
