Can Aaron Sorkin get back to screenwriting and pick up where West Wing left off? How about Sam Seaborn running for President…I seem to recall President Bartlett making that statement around mid series.

How many of you (not CC people) who are making the nasty comments are scared “spitless” to be in a city?

Don’t drink a Pepsi before a flight.
Bc then you jinx yourself that flight will be delayed on runway.
ETA: I jinxed myself also bc I acquiesced to a Diet Pepsi bc my preferred Coke Zero wasn’t available

I have a job interview in an hour. It’s a second round, but I’m guessing I don’t get this - it feels like the kind of thing which goes to an internal candidate (which I’m not). But it would be a super interesting opportunity and I’m ready for a change. Please send good vibes out into the universe for me. Even if I don’t get this gig, the experience and practice of interviewing is worthwhile, so we’ll just see how this goes.

So enjoyed the holiday. So sorry it is over.
The last lodge was lovely- built with logs and few tools. It’s amazing what can be done with few tools.

To the neighbor down the street I haven’t seen in awhile. I’m sorry your wife is so hard to live with. Come on over and take a break, have a beer.

I went to bed with my day planned based on order of play at Wimbledon. Prepared to watch Andy Murray’s likely last hurrah on Centre Court in singles and ready to cry some therapeutic tears. But, alas, not to be. Hopefully, he and his brother will have a good doubles match in a few days

Volunteer coordinators: if you want volunteers to stop volunteering, do this: (1) Don’t respond when volunteers text to ask if weather is causing a cancellation of the big outdoor event 30 minutes away; then secretly cancel the event. When the volunteers show up - Surprise! (2) assign volunteers to give directions in a convention center without giving them a map, schedule, assigned spot or any other helpful information and be sure to avoid telling them where you are so you can silently type on your computer in a hidden room; (3) recruit people to help with moving and cleaning items, underestimate the time required by a factor of 2 then guilt people into staying. Bonus points if you leave the work site for 45 minutes to buy cookies for the group after asking volunteers to show up with water and ice.

My son is eligible for increased Social Security benefits since his dad just started collecting Social Security himself. A guy from the State of Maine called me today - he is “adjudicating” the case to see if the claim is valid (that my son was disabled before the age of 22, which is the requirement). WTH? We went through all of this in great detail in 2013. Thank goodness the same doctor has been seeing S since 2011, since the state wants to know lots of details about the period from when S was 18 to 22. What do people do whose doctors have died or retired??
The MOST infuriating thing is that this guy called my S FIRST. NO NO NO! DH and I are his guardians for a reason! S has gone catatonic when dealing with bureaucracy. I told the guy we were his guardians, and he sounded surprised. “Oh, here it is!” he said with a chuckle. Good Lord, give me strength. I seriously think I have PTSD from going through all of this before. Plus feeling so horrible for all those people who don’t have someone like me to advocate for them. But I have to bite my tongue and be nice, nice, nice with the bureaucrats.
