sara, would that mean you would stop working for your contractor?

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

If that is so, I will throw the damned going-away party myself! BFE corporation.

Yes. It's complicated. Not really sure how it is all shaking out.
I've got to think through this and figure out politics. My boss is panicked over my contract boss leaving us to retire and I'm pretty much next in line in her panic path. I've been ...difficult... this year, but everyone is screwed if I depart. So. I don't want to poison the well.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh that's hard sarameg, but getting away from the awful is pretty dang appealing.
back to filling in little circles on paper ballots which are then scanned. I guess because that's less likely to be hacked?
I think so, yes, but I'm not a programmer. LA has stuck with the paper ballots with inked-in bubbles.
It turns out I am done giving a shit today. I hope there's no crap left lying around that I need to pick up before I go to bed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hope all that shakes out to the good for you one way or another, sarameg

I'm not part of a city! Yay!
Mr Peabody thinks there's something alive in the office in addition to him and me. He is now destroying a box to get at whatever it is. I do not want him to be right.

And yes, Maria, profile is good.

Oy, sara. I applaud your desire not to burn the entire bridge. It would be nice to see you less stressed though.
Burrell, I find wine is great for those times I don't give a shit.
Yay, Ginger! Mr Peabody, please don't gift your human with anything except love and affection.
Dana, insent. Lemme guess, no human rights for anyone except white, male, Republican Texans?

I like to think the pro-city people lost the last 150 votes with the last-minute flyer that used a dark photo of Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed to threaten voters in neighborhoods near Atlanta that if they didn't vote for cityhood, their neighborhoods would be annexed by the scary black man. The icing on the cake: it misspelled the Toco Hills neighborhood Tocco Hills throughout.
