It's been a long time since we had disposable funds for charity donations, but today I dipped into savings to send a donation to Planned Parenthood, because the House of Representatives just voted to completely defund it.

The Next Great Challenge...
So I sent out this survey at work. Out of 130 people I got back 100 responses. That's a phenomenal response. That felt good.

New staff, new menus, still haven't adjusted for the wonky layout of the kitchen (more on that another day).

IE is my hero?????
Hates it I do my precious. Hates it. But dammit all if IE didn't freaking fix my month long connectivity issue in 3 seconds flat. Bah! Guess I have to go back to the Pollyanna, "everything has a silver lining," "look on the bright side" me.
