Ah, acquired incompetence then. My kids practice that one.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
How often does it come up? Just out of curiosity.

Although if she's got her already asked questions and the same answers you are going to give again in her email all she really has to remember is how to look that up...

If it's happening multiple times, I'd just start referring her to the date of the previous time she asked the same questions. And cc whoever you both report to.

I'm horrible with things like that, I like to confirm I know the steps I'm about to do, but at least I phrase it as "I need to do these steps, right?" Supervisors get annoyed that I ask multiple times, but at least all I want is a "Yes, that's correct."

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh sweet Jesus, sarameg. It's a miracle there isn't a dent in your desk from all of the times you've beat your head on it.

I need to rsvp for the company holiday party. Do I want prime rib, lemon grilled chicken, or grilled portobello mushroom?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Prime rib.
At least that's what I want.

I was able to book a flight out to SF for Patty's memorial on the 31st. Her husband's memorial was so much bigger than they expected - he had been a math teacher in SF for yonks and a big activist. Patty's is bound to be even bigger with all the work she did for child care in SF and nationwide. For me, she was a family friend, a fixture in my life, and a big part of my childhood. Such a different perspective.
I'm hoping I can stay at my dad's while I'm out there. I had to add a few extra days to keep the airfare as low as possible.
Ok, enough of the me stuff. sarameg, please stock up on bubble wrap or bring in a pillow to protect your head from all the headdesking.
