I'm sorry about your coworker leaving, ita !. Competent and personable people in the workplace are a treasure.
Everyone at my level is clear that there's no one who can replace him in terms of programming ability, architectural vision, and people skills. Man, the pushback I got from my primary business team when I tried to engineer a team with a different developer--and I had to make all sorts of promises to new!developer based on my reputation because he just lacked the imagination to see the solution himself--I don't want to be back with that.
Ugh. I wish I could be there for his birthday lunch. But my insomnia doesn't fuck around. I can't drive right now. And it would look super sketchy if I came in late just in time for 90 minutes of lunch. Although I will consider that.
I will make his going away celebrations if I have to drag my half-dead semi-corpse over broken glass.
I can still watch Glee with partial attention for the music, and once in a while for a funny or touching line (I did get a little weepy last night, and last week, at different moments), but I think overall Ryan Murphy is way better suited to something like Nip/Tuck or American Horror Story than he is to Glee. He can't do a message or a moral without tripping over his own anvils, and the cast is way too big to give most of the characters the kind of attention they deserve.

I hope it doesn't come to *that*. Sorry you're losing a great work buddy. Those are priceless.
Happy birthday, Laura! Yay kayak!
smonster I did mean to ping you and I did get your paypal. It was nothing important, I will email you sometime.
I got 7 out of 10 correct. I probably could have gotten 9, but I over-thought 2.
Santorum or Megadeth.
I got 8 of 10. Partially because I had heard some of the Santorum quotes. (I'm not a fan of Megadeth.)
Me either and they sound like loons based on some of those quotes.
I got 60%, as I haven't listened to Megadeth and do my best not to listen to Santorum.
Happy birthday, Laura!
8 out of 10, but I'd also just recently read articles highlighting the crazy residing deep within them, so I actually recognized a lot of the quotes. The LOTR quote totally fooled me, though.
