No rain delay but a supplies delay

It's pouring out and I had to go grocery shopping. I would love for grocery shopping to be called on account of rain, but it looks like the Big Umpire is going to let the game proceed. Oh well, I must be grateful for plastic bags and rain jackets. I really wish it would have snowed instead. All this rain would make a killer snowstorm, a big enough one so that I would take myself out of the game to sit at home with hot chocolate, a couple of cats, and Bill Bryson's newest book, aptly titled At Home.

Other complaints: boss forgot to get the supplies for my presentation tomorrow so it'll be a no-go. And the last presentation I did, she completely took over. Seethe. I have yet to do a presentation when it was actually scheduled AND without intrusion. We'll see how the two in December go.

I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow

Not really. I've never been to Heathrow. Should I be worried about it?

What I am worried about is one of my co-workers taking over my presentation next week. I've come to the conclusion that she is a cheerful passive-aggressive sort who likes to make sure (in a totally happy and non-confrontational way) that events transpire as she wants them to. She's already messed with my presentation "to help me out," and she also went over the boss's head and fiddled with scheduling because it suited her.

I'm watching her. And my back.
