then memories are films about ghosts
Yesterday at work was all fire drill all day. For once it actually was urgent stuff treated urgently, except boss3 can't help herself from interrupting even when she's given me an actual high-priority thing to do. Like, I can't write three documents at the same time. Please stop interrupting. Meanwhile, another VP keeps asking me to schedule things for a different VP I do not support, so I'm constantly like, "I've cc'd Other Admin, who handles Other VP's calendar. Thanks!" I already have 4 bosses. I don't need any more. Thankfully, today is Friday and will hopefully be calmer.
All that aside, I know you have been anxiously awaiting an update on my toilet situation! Yes, it is fixed! Yes, the super agrees that maybe I should start thinking about a new toilet, because it's weird that the handle assembly stopped working so quickly - usually they last 2-3 years, not 4-5 months. He told me he'd be up in the afternoon when I called, and then didn't show. At 6:30 pm, he called to say he hadn't forgotten me, and he'd be up soon, so apparently I didn't actually need to take the day off (in truth, he could have just gone in and done it without me there, but I like to know what is happening, and also I'll take any excuse not to commute). He finally arrived and it took him a good 25-30 minutes to figure out just what had gone wrong - some piece of plastic had cracked. It's a tankless toilet, so I don't even know how to describe what the piece is, but it has to do with the part that is compressed when you press the handle to flush - not in the handle itself but in the middle piece. Anyway! It is fixed and the bucket is stowed away back in the closet for now, but come tax refund time, I might be looking at a new toilet.
This morning on the train, I was wondering what ever happened to that supposed tv adaptation of TRC, and how I only really have mental images of a couple of characters, and mostly they are too old to play them - Grant Gustin for Gansey and Zach Gilford (Matt Saracen) for Adam. Though I realized this time around I was picturing Matt Lanter as the Gray Man, and Regina King as Calla, so there's that. (I also imagine 1970s era Carol Kane as Persephone, but that seems even less useful as a fancast than most.)

Everything about Demon Con was AMAZING. The endless awful slides. Michael being better at pretending to be Vicky than Vicky is at pretending to be Michael. JASON. Everything about Jason here was, once again, stellar. And Shawn, for once, was right - Manny Jacinto's cheekbones are a little overboard. *fans self*
I'm glad Tahani finally got some focus here - she seems least well served this season so far, but I like that she still wants to be better (even if, in some ways, it's still making things all about her) and that Eleanor encourages that. I also like that Eleanor calls her babe. I miss the Eleanor/Tahani vibes of previous seasons. Bring that back, show!
FOLES!!!!!!!!! I wonder if they will somehow manage to get a Minshew Madness reference in there now.

But the ones I was looking at at Home Depot were in that range - $99 - $150, though they can get quite expensive if you want lots of bells and whistles. Really, I think it's the labor that's expensive? Though Home Depot does offer to install it, as well. So does Lowe's, from looking at their website. Which would hopefully be on the lower end of the installation cost scale.

I do not want my toilet to have any features other than flushing LOL, so it's good to know that when we do have to replace one, it won't break the bank. As you say, though, it'll be the labor.

I saw her mention on Twitter recently that it is still in development!

Eleanor calling her "babe" all the time also made me hope we get at least a couple fics about Eleanor and Tahani having an established friends-with-benefits thing in the background of this season; if there's any two cast members who know that the best way to distract someone from obsessing over their memory-wiped ex ...
