1. Today in a meeting, my boss looked straight at me and said, "Jessica, can you show us [the thing]?" On the other hand, later in the day he came over to me desk and said, "Laura, if you have a minute...." His knowledge of my name: unknown. (Jessica and I are trying to address each by name in his presence as much as possible. "Oh, I don't know anything about that bug, but
Jessica looked at it yesterday.")
2. On my way out the door, I passed the head of engineering, who looked at my coat and scarf and announced "Oh good, this means new bugs will stop coming in!" (We code freeze on Friday, so a lot of my time over the past week has been filing bugs.)
3. I got halfway home from the T stop, remembered I was out of milk, considered it, and decided I didn't need milk badly enough to add 4 more blocks to my walk. Also, that I wasn't sure I could safely get home while carrying a gallon of milk.
4.
a team that is worse at pranks than the hawks are.
5. ASG captains! Staal! Lidstrom! Who knows enough about them to tell me if they are likely to be lulzy in their picks? (I personally am rooting for several things: Sedin vs Sedin is obviously at the top of the list, but also! Marc Staal forced to play against Team Staal! Linemates playing against each other (esp Sharp vs Kane, because they have both demonstrated a sense of humor)! Captains weighing the merits of choosing their bitter rivals' stars! All 3 dudes who wear 33 on the same team! Everything involving Ovechkin, Malkin, and Ovechkin vs Malkin!)
...I'm going to be so bitterly disappointed, aren't I.
