Aw, Jesse.
I wanted to lose my shit with my boss yesterday. But I just glowered at him instead.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, my boss was great about it. A little freaked out, but nice. I am OK now, I guess, and had some good news in my inbox WITH action items, so that's all good.

Glad to hear it didn't have an unpleasant result, Jesse.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Isn't Alamo Drafthouse the place that evicted a patron for having her cellphone on during the show and she called in a complaint that was all over the web?
Alamo Drafthouse programmer Kier-la Janisse also created a documentary based on the Bubblegum Book and showed it there. It can't be released commercially because she didn't/couldn't get clearances to all the tv clips, but it's pretty great (and I've got a copy).

Freakouts can be productive. Mine this past fall finally got my superiors to ease off on the waterfall of new duties I'm not suited for and hire a bunch of freelance help, and now I'm (busily) working on stuff I actually know how to do and am good at.

Yeah, it wasn't a severe freakout, but I do hope my boss now focuses more on getting someone hired as my counterpart (the position has been vacant since the summer). I've been head-hunted for several similar jobs since I've been here, so there definitely is a community of people doing this work, so I don't know what's taking so long, other than inaction. And now the job's been open so long it looks bad. Oy vay.

we are dog sitting for an indefinite amount of time and I am chicken shit to tell my parents. The dog, Maya, is a black lab mix, less than 2 years old and has been living in an apartment. She will be an outside and mudroom only dog here and on day one seems to be IN LOVE with the yard, but not so keen on being left alone. Thus far she does not bark or dig.
One of her moms is the friend who has been in the hospital and was diagnosed with LAM [link] They have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a parrot in the apartment. They also have an 11 year old daughter. It is simply way too much. Maya is the biggest of the animals and as a puppy she has lots of energy. They are giving the parrot away, but I said I would keep Maya for them since I have the space and they come visit often.
