Hi all. I haven't been here for a while but I was a good friend of SueO's when I lived in Halifax. I'm sorry you weren't updated on her passing earlier. Sue and I met at work and bonded over Buffy, both posting on the old Table Talk threads, while sitting next to each other at the office. Another former poster here Ouise was also part of our local Buffy group and she sadly died about ten years ago.

I moved away from Halifax in 2013 and now lament not keeping in closer touch with her over the years. Reach out to your old friends if you can because you never know when they might be gone. :(

I'm sorry to hear about Sue. It definitely sucks getting older and having to hear more and more people who have passed..

Thrive to spite them

I was working so wasn't able to go to the No Kings protest here but I seen pictures and it was well attended.

My team lead heavily implied that one of the ops managers might be let go at some point "they put him on overnight for a reason" and I'm trying not to feel like a horrible person for hoping he does leave. I hope he finds another job and quits but he is a huge drain on the store. I was complaining about why they put a manager on overnight if nothing has improved when my team lead let that slip. It might just be a rumor but nothing has improved. I've been relieved that the ops manager had been overnight because I don't get asked to finish things for him and then see him walk off and disappear or have him tell me he'll take care of something and then it's not leaving me scrambling to get things done.

I've had a low opinion of him ever since right after I started I complained about overnight and their mistakes and his response was "it's how they are what can you do ?". I had to bite my tongue not to tell him "you are a manager it's part of your job to make sure they are "

And in happier news. I will (fingers crossed) being picking up E at the airport very late tomorrow night. So any Easy Travel ~ma would be appreciated.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Megan}} Yes, my list of deceased friends is becoming far too long. My mom lamented in her 90s over having many more deceased friends than living ones. Social media is definitely an aid for staying in touch, but you don't necessarily notice or think anything is amiss when a friend hasn't posted recently.

Hey Megan, good to see your pixels.

It's a bright blue Sunday morning in SF.

Hi, Megan. So true about keeping in touch and also so understandable how that can get lost in the day to day shuffle . Hope you're doing well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am so sorry to hear about Sue!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Likewise, sad to hear that Sue passed away.

Megan, its good to see you.

I got to visit with Sue last summer when I was visiting ElenaB and her husband (I forget what his board name was BitD) in Halifax. We took the ferry to Dartmouth and had brunch and went to a day spa. It was such a lovely day and now, alas, it is a treasure. Oh poor Sue.

Glad to hear that, Trudy
