That goes for everyone in NC.
8-ish miles from Calli, my office ended up with hard rain and no drama. No weather drama, anyway, but with a giant open-plan office that we all super hate, the only windowless (non-bathrooom) spaces are the two small conference rooms that seat 6.
So our whole department hung out with the whole marketing department while deploying a code change that required several rollbacks for stupid niggly shit that didn't really do a lot of harm but would've been annoying and couldn't be caught before we went to production because reasons, and marketing is now TOTALLY IN AWE of our arcane knowledge and strange programmer vocabulary.
(Little do they know that most of our deployments involve someone saying in the chatroom "deploying now" and then a couple of minutes later, "done".)

Listening to another mayoral town hall. I'm hopeful that if an establishment candidate wins the primary, I'm gonna have a promising green to vote for in the general, so I can respect myself in the morning. (It's insane, 29 candidates or something. Only 3 or 4 republicans.)
Ugh. Ballerina!Surgeon told me something at work, in her chatty friendly way, that I truly neither need nor want to know about a co-worker (I suspected her days were numbered, but I didn't need to know for certain and I definitely didn't need to know how small that number was). Man, I hope that she's on her way out on her own initiative, with something else lined up and ready to go, but I am very worried about not. Why so chatty and friendly and totally oblivious to office politics, Ballerina!Surgeon, why?

Oh yeah, this is just nicotine.
A call with my PM and his boss got interesting today. PM was asking for some of boss's budget to reward the project team for earning a health and safety award. Boss's response was "Are you high?" To which my PM responded "Well, Suzi is here from Colorado". I did a spit take.
Ha! I once had an outside graphic designer I was working with (now an old friend, but this was almost 20 years ago) tell me to light up a doobie and relax while we were on a late-night call about a project.
blackish: when I went with Taylor to the Inaug, I suppressed my terror that the ugliest part of America would surface, and it'd be me and this teen baby, a precious life I was taking responsibility for. But it was there and a small part of why I was grateful to Sparky for letting us launch from her house.
I was also concerned about the crush, and that did become reality, but people were their best. Man, can't believe 7 years.
Oh, dag, storm and winds have passed but the power just went out.
