I was an unequivocal voice in an insurrection I knew would have casualties if it succeeded, some which affect me professionally and personally (one is going to be spectacularly bad unless we find an alternate solution.) Still believe it was right and serves the best interests of most individuals and the work culture as a whole, but oof. I hate the position those coworkers and friends are in. Solutions are way above my pay grade and skill set, but I want one found, will be respectful of their uneven status until it's fixed and will try to make up for the bs as much as in my power. If I get the job.
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I should have named our lesser dane Kato and trained him to attack me at random.
That's who our Kato is named after! (Or, alternatively, Kato from the Green Hornet, because he's Tim's sidekick.)
However, our Kato does not jump out and randomly attack us.
A former neighbor wondered if it was Cato with a C, after the philosopher. I said no, that if we were going to name a dog after a philosopher, we couldn't pass up the chance to name him Heidegger.
One of my cats just raced into the room meowing so insistently that I had to ask, "What is it Rosie, is Timmy in the well?" Her response was to plop down and start giving herself a bath. Sorry, Timmy.
Well, somehow I managed to pry myself out of bed and get out the door before 5:30m, so I guess I'm going to the office today.
I'm up, showered, packed, house is clean, dog is boarded...just awaiting our ride to the airport. Wheeeee!
I'm taking Kato to the vet at 2:00. And there is a cardinal in the bush I see through the front window. (Cardinals are my favorite. When I see them, I think I get more excited than the cat does.)
Oh, wow. I hadn't seen the medical report on Trump from his doctor. It's kinda hilarious.
I think this sentence sums it up well:
If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.
I think his doctor may be voting for him. Guess he doesn't drink his own wine. Even blood pressure machines and labs love him.
He clearly wrote that himself.
He is such a horrific mirror on this country.
I'm going to have to say that if Dr. Bornstein can't afford an office assistant who doesn't know how to proof read their own work so as to avoid gaffs like "To Whom My Concern" on a document that is going to be released for public consumption, I'm inclined to question his judgment. Also ... um.. is the doctor attempting to imply that he has in fact examined the current President and found one or more of the conditions he specifies that Drumphf does not have (or mayhap the good doctor thinks that diagnosing people without actually examining them is good doctoring? In which case, again, inclined to distrust judgment. Or, ya know, could be that Doc B here is being impersonatored.)
