Eight emails this morning, from people who reply-alled asking to be removed from the list.

Sigh.

Hey Scola, a while back, you gave me excellent advice about waiting to buy a new Mac until about this time of year to take advantage of last year's models. Do you have a particular outlet you recommend? I've been skulking around B&H but have not run across any particular deals.

eta: spelling. I can't even with people this morning, much less pixels.

Congratulations, Kalshane!

That's a good thing, Gud. Hooray!

Suzi, I would seriously go after the Grease Monkey franchise. If overfilling the oil caused the engine to seize up, then they are responsible. Don't let it go.

Drew, I'm sorry you're having to deal with it. I completely sympathize, and if you need an ear, I'm around.

It's completely acceptable for those in mourning to tag a loved one to run emotional interference for them, or even for said loved one to discreetly take on that task unasked because, well, love.

I had Buffistas and my immediate family for this. I would have never survived the day without those watchdogs. It still floors me 4 years later (How could it be that long ago?) that you did that for me. Another thing I've added to the list of what I can never repay.

AUGH.

I have just had another meeting added to my calendar. I'm starting to question how many meetings we can have before it actually impacts the amount of work getting done. And I did not sign up for this. I know a lot of you have it a lot worse, but it's just making me increasingly snarly.

I usually look on the Apple site.

Also, it's up to thirteen emails. Also one reply-all from somebody telling everyone not to reply-all.

Those are my favourite reply-alls.

Congrats Kalshane!

Yay Gud!

Congratulations, Kalshane!

And congrats, Gud!

meara, I'd be bummed, too. I hope you'll find a way to salvage your vacation.

I'm sitting in a meeting room by myself. Theoretically, I'm supposed to be taking notes at a website redesign meeting. Since there's no one else here, that's looking like a pretty easy task.

Bonny if you can wait another month or so there's a possibility new ones will be debuted in March (check out macrumors.com) and then old ones would be cheaper.

Yay Gud, that's amazing!

She is deciding today on the Chile thing. Last night was very in a "I have to take this shot" and today she texted and was like "maybe I won't, money isn't everything". But she did offer to pay my friend's ticket. I found a friend who could go for the first week, potentially...so we shall see.

I am reading some mystery books that are written by a mother and son. The mother is Caroline Todd and the son is Charles Todd. They use the name Charles Todd. Goodreads says "Charles Todd is a pseudonym for the writing duo of Caroline and Charles Todd"- but is that really a pseudonym? Aren't they just using his actual name?
