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.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
SAME AS ALWAYS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I LIKE IT, BITCHES.
We're in Natter, not Bitches. I feel like everything Scrappy ever says from now on will be suspect.

Apparently at this time of year the post office has a deliverer who only handles packages. Hubby heard something being put in our mail box, then heard the mail man walk away. He got up and opened the front door to find two teenagers about to walk onto our porch, headed towards the mailbox. They froze and Hubby courteously asked them their business.
"Uh, my buddy's expecting a package."
"At my house?"
"Uh, it might have been misdelivered."
"Really. Well, look, there's a package right there, with the recipient's name on it. I'm going to be real surprised if you've got the same name as my wife. Because that's the only reason you should be on my porch, reaching for my mail."
The first kid looks like he's going to continue trying to convince Hubby he's got a plausible story, but the second kid just grabs his arm and hurries him away.
So we've decided that doing eBay business should wait for a few weeks.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Your hubby's nicer than me. I would have snapped a pix, and called the cops, and told them icily, "You DO realize you're trying to steal from my wife, the cop, right?"
