I'm watching the Parkland students' speeches. It's giving me some hope. These kids aren't going to back down.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope the Isle of Wight is not too dear, Laura.

It must be weird for HRC. Not many people claim an international conspiracy against them and be proven right.

I MUST VENT
new shipping system at work.
many things messed up.
fixes coming slowly.
I have a spreadsheet of individual documents with issues, am tracking data gathered on what the problems might be, am tracking when they are fixed.
developer sent me a list of several documents and listed what the issue was
I fixed the easily fixable ones
I sent back a list of documents NOT listed on his list and said, hey this weren't on your list and I already checked all these things, could you look at them
He emails back, well have you tried changing this thing (I need him to tell me the # for that thing to change, I cannot see it on my screens)
I reply, I am trying to determine the # of the thing to change, that is why I asked you.
HE SENDS ME BACK HIS ORIGINAL LIST!! DOES NOT REMOVE THE ONES I HAVE ALREADY FIXED. IGNORES THAT I NOTED THAT THESE ARE NOT ON HIS GD LIST.
BREATHE
I emailed him back. "These are not on your list."
Meanwhile, month-end prelim close is tomorrow and I've got issues going back to 2/10 now. GRRRRRR

This too shall pass.
It's giving me some hope.
I wish I was to that point. I would like to see the gun control movement pick up steam like the #MeToo movement did. We will see if people actually vote out the greedy NRA money grabbing politicians. I'll believe it when I see it.

Vent away, msbelle!!

100% you know that Paul Ryan, Mitch, and all the rest of the GOP would be screaming for a new election based on Russian meddling, if it had been decided for Clinton. Yes, I am very bitter.
I hope the Isle of Wight is not too dear, Laura.
Ha! As long as I don't have to knit.

Just a little scrimping and saving should do it. Hopefully Vera, Chuck, and Dave don't have expensive tastes.

First world work from home problem, my Netflix via TiVo keeps dropping. I am slowly working through these work issues, so my entertainment botching up is a bummer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Excuse me if we're avoiding the subject, but I just have to share. News just now is footage of +/- 2,000 students from the *four high schools* in Bellingham who walked out today and marched in protest against gun violence. Parents were in attendance, and brought younger kids, one of whom was wearing a bulletproof vest with a sign that read, "This is not a school uniform."
Out of all this fuckwittery and despair, there gleams a bright hope in the future.
Back to Natterage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
These kids are not fucking around, and they will be voting in 2020. If not 2018. I love it.
I went to the doctor this afternoon, and even though I've been feeling a little tubby, I am just at my same weight I've been 75% of my adult life! So that's reassuring.
