Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.

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

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.

The status is NOT quo.

If your stomach is running over, I may want to rethink having you down this weekend, megan! How did your HR chat go?
