It's Friday! I thought that would never happen.
What are people doing this weekend?
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.
'Shells'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
9am isn't too early to schedule a meeting for, like, normal people, right?
Well *I'd* grumble, but only in my head. And I'd show up for the meeting. But I've been spoiled by working for MSFT, because core hours there are understood to start at 10am.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I worked with engineers. They thought 7:30am was reasonable, if not late (ouch).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My old boss wanted us in by 7:50 or so, so we could be oriented and have read overnight emails before Monday through Friday 8am meetings. My current boss doesn't drive in before 9. Neither does my manager. We have 1 8am meeting on the regular books, and that's because it's a con call with India.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm skating, working, going to a movie, SAME AS ALWAYS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I LIKE IT, BITCHES.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Apparently at Walmart, business meetings routinely start at 7am.
I bet there's data to support that the earlier the meetings, the more toxic the corporate culture.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm with Ginger.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
This weekend starts off with a Holiday Pops concert tonight, karate tomorrow, and hopefully a blessed nothing on Sunday.
In parental bragging news, CJ passed both his written and practical e-care tests. He is now an advanced first responder. He will get his medical patch at the holiday party in a couple of week, which is the night before he takes his probationary test. Not that I'm too worried about him not passing that test, but it seems a bit backwards.

Because books.
That's awesome, Suzi! Congratulate him for me.
Tonight is the town Christmas parade -- we have sodium lights in our front yard right now, and floats lining up since this block and the next are staging areas -- and tomorrow is Sara's slumber party. Sunday, I hope to sleep for many, many hours.
