WOW, Brenda. That is some bullshit.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
WTF? That makes no sense, brenda.
You took that other position?

That would make me crazy, Brenda.

Yes? I mean, once that other position came up my boss went ahead and restructured the entire department without me so not really any options. And frankly, since it gets me out of her organization I'm glad of it. But I'm sort of in a weird no-man's-land right now. The new role won't ramp up for a month or so.
It's not just me affected, others are in a similar boat. But god damn this is weird and effed up.

Tep, is [link] the 5k with the cape you did? What did you think of it?
It is! I thought it was fun. It's not chip timed (or at least it wasn't when I did it), if that's important to you.

Thanks, good to know! I do like the chip timing, but it's not a deal breaker.
What a mess, brenda! Well, I'm glad you are out of there before too long, anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, brenda! That's worse than what happened at my job this morning! Some people learned their whole team is being moved -- so they have the same boss, but their boss has a different boss -- in a large department meeting. I had heard this was happening before the holidays, but the people on the actual team hadn't.

The Salt Lake Tribune's weather page seems to be the lair of interesting people. The headline says this is perfect weather for Canadian geese and melancholy Norwegian playwrights, and the article itself includes quotes from Ibsen. But really, when your job is to write about the weather every day, you need to liven it up a little. And the comments are interesting, too, one from a bicycle commuter who only relinquishes his bike in life threatening storms and a couple from someone down on the Hopi reservation. A surprisingly pleasant corner of a website filled with conservative/liberal fights and some nasty name calling.

I work with a guy like that. In nicer weather he wears some kind of oxygen restricting mask presumably to make shit as unpleasant as possible.

In super nice weather does he hire people to follow him and throw flaming sticks at him?
