7. It is NOW, but not when the story broke

Staff meeting was called for 3 AM their time, not ours. It's now 8 AM and the foul mouthed knitters in the UK are all grumbling about how Buckingham's dragging their feet as usual on the Big Announcement and they've got to get to work. A lot of "fucks" are being typed.

I suggested the meeting was called when a prize corgi delivered a litter of half non corgi pups and they called everybody together to see whose dog did the damage.

ETA: announcement postponed until 10 AM London time.

I'm going to go read. Screw it.
