People are probably tired of my dire forebodings as far as work goes. Still, they sent out the "all-hands" meeting announcement for next week after the close of business yesterday. If they would only worry as much about morale as they do about executive secrecy, sigh. I'm going to call in to my assistant on Wednesday to find out what the content ( Read more... )

A man who tries to friend me on FB and claims his school was Wellesley College is doomed from the start.

I was talking with someone who mentioned that his church has a cantor. I had never heard of a cantor in a Christian church - apparently it's what we called "soloist" at my parents' church.

You can tell it's time and then some that I really did a heavy corrections pass on the Alphabetic section of the order of precedence.
