It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think I "win" for my half-block commute, but my office is moving downtown next year and home buying here is a joke. I'm sure I will live 100 mi away or its time equivalent at some point.

From the west side to downtown, the time equivalent IS roughly 100 miles. or at least 60.

Sunday, we went to a local restaurant, Dish, for breakfast. The woman who served us was also Noah's camp counselor from last week. She told us he had forgotten his sweater and to stop by the camp site, which is a church, to get it.

I once overheard two girls who looked to be about 10 talking about Dippin' Dots. One said, "They say this is the ice cream of the future." The other said, "I hope not."

HA! I like the sound of that kid.

It is *still* snowing! It's been snowing on and off since Sunday morning now, and there's still no accumulation.

I know! It's like it's stuck and can't quite dump a ton of snow but can't quite stop.

GO HOME, WINTER. YOU'RE DRUNK.

Sleep last night was maybe an hour. Work is eatting me from the bottom up. I kept having waking dreams of MS Project. And I have an ob/gyn appt this morning about Mirena again. Bleh. Don't wanna go but I have to do a consult before they will actually do it.

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

For some reason IT is fighting back hard on providing templates for documents and communication. We're being tasked to make sure all the information is in said body, and I just don't get what's the downside to a template, or at least a checklist. If "past examples" are such great guidance, why not strip the variables out of one such Platonic ideal so that it's easier for us to tell what "all the information" is?

The first shop I worked in that took PM and SDLC seriously had three basic definitions of projects, and each type of project required different documents at each gate (and if you didn't intend to create a document, you needed a project exec to sign off on that call), and each document had a template. It was really easy to skim and make sure at a cursory level you're even ready to sit down and inspect, or find out who you need to send back to the kitchen. If you have to read all of everything to know that, some omissions are going to be discovered later, natch.
