Wow, still talking about ancestors the next day.
Meanwhile - I had some excitement this morning already. First, I managed to oversleep my alarm and wake up with less then 30 minutes to get ready to go pick up the bus.
And as I am walking up my street to the bus stop, the RR crossing bars are down and people are turning their cars and heading back to avoid the train. I see a train on the east side of the crossing just stopped. Okay. Then as I get closer - the garbage truck that was waiting turns into the parking lot to get away from the crossing and I see the other half of the train on the west side of the crossing.
I'm waiting. . . waiting. . . then a guy comes up and starts taking pictures of the train. And I the driver in the car closest to the tracks is doing the same thing. Then he turns around and leaves: the train came uncoupled right at the crossing.
How the heck does that happen?

Seriously.
I want to have a huge foot-stomping, swearing, yelling hissyfit right now. Followed by flouncing out of work. We have been working on a project charter and business case for a project for SIX MONTHS (please boggle how long it takes to even plan to do anything) and as it's about to be signed and finalized, my two bosses are cockblocking it. They're not even willing to communicate with the people involved, I have be the one to email our contact and say they have concerns and can we set up a meeting.
I just unfollowed someone on Twitter for quoting Eat Pray Love. I may be in a mood.
"innovative" is the kind way to put that.
So am I the only one thinking "thank fuck it isn't only Americans who do shit like that"?

Not at all - it makes all those mistranslated Chinese tattoos seem far less embarrassing.
Today's xkcd is pretty damn timely on the baby names thing: [link] The alt-text is a thing of beauty.
