Not only do I have to go to work today (which, it goes without saying, sucks), and not only am I the designated support “schmuck” for our team this week (which of course makes a sucky week even suckier), and not only is the person who knows everything out on on maternity leave, but my team leader and his counterpart in our “sister” team are both out today and tomorrow, leaving me, basically, hanging me out to dry if anything goes wrong (and shit always goes wrong. So today’s just plain gonna suck. But not as much as tomorrow, because shit always goes wrong on Fridays at about 4:55. Oh boy.
Thinking that all those folks leave because they know the place is in good hands with you behind the wheel. :kub:
That right. The kind of leader who takes pity on a drowning mole.
It should come as no surprise that this in from The Guardian in the UK, and not from a media outlet here in the good old US of A.

It’ll be nice to have that piano I don’t know how to play back again. Although I’m pretty good at playing Europa, Flor d’Luna, and the beginning of Wish You Were Here one-handed. At least, inside my own mind, where I am accompanied by talented musicians.

If reporters were treated like teachers they would not be fired for poor reporting, they would be rated on, paid in accordance with and fired for the poor performance of their readers. I guess that means Fox Noise would be woefully undermanned.
Yeah, that was what he said.
Old Rudy Giuliani is, once again, thinking about running for president. JudyJudy has no doubt started to purchase her FLOTUS outfits. But, we’ll have to bite our nails all summer while he’s deciding.

Awww! Poor Rupert:
The FBI has begun a preliminary inquiry based on concerns in Congress over a report that media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims, a law enforcement official said Thursday.
The decision to step in was made after U.S. Rep. Peter King and several other members of Congress wrote to FBI Director Robert Mueller demanding an investigation, said the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
