Bet you are ready for the weekend so Jim'll be around all day.
dev41
Every working mom I know could not wait to get back to the office after maternity leave.
dev41
I think the daycare arrangement is generally best for everyone.
dev41
Baby gets a head start on her social life, and the parents can't wait to see the kid at the end of the work day!
dev41
Most everyone I know is raising their kids that way, and they seem to be turning out fine.
dev41
Even the handful of stay-at-home moms I've met leave their kids with someone several days a week, for sanity's sake.
dev41
Had lunch with Mema on Wednesday at Treebeards.
dev41
I get the impression that she's gotten the message that you and Jim don't exactly want her dropping in for spontaneous visits, so that's good.
dev41
I always enjoy meeting her for lunch--for some reason she's always on best behavior, and we always run into my coworkers and friends who just think she's the greatest.
dev41
Thank God she can never remember their names, or she might start calling them for lunch.

Bill and I saw a play at Diverse Works last night called "Fucking A."
dev41
It was a take-off on The Scarlet Letter.
dev41
I thought it would be funnier but it was actually pretty dark.
dev41
The bearer of the letter A was an abortionist in a strange land working to pay her son's way out of jail.
dev41
Despite the subject matter it was one of the best plays I've seen in a very long time.
dev41
Diverse Works is an art space in the warehouse district directly north of downtown.
dev41
(Nancy Littlejohn (Worthington) has her art gallery nearby.) They mostly sponsor dance, dramatic and performance art productions.
dev41
A lot of it is really over the top, but I've seen some cool things there.
dev41
One of my friends at work is trying to get me to serve on the board of directors, so I've been hanging out there to see whether I like the people.
dev41
Work is driving me nuts, but that's what they pay me for, I guess.
dev41
Time to read more FERC cases.
dev41
I don't wanna FERC, I just want to bang on the drum all day.
dev41
Hang in there, and please send more news of little bug!
dev41
Love, Susan
dev41
Thanks Dennis.
dev41
Do you have the form of discount letter too?
dev41
If so, please send it.
dev41
The term of the FTS-1 agreement is for one day, and automatically renews from day to day.
dev41
The discount letter provides that the discount applies to the one-day term and each consecutive one-day term (if any).
dev41
The term of the discount letter is typically one month or 3 months.
dev41
The discount letter does not obligate TW to provide service for more than one day, but as long as the term of the service agreement renews, the same discount would apply.
dev41
My point is that if we are already contracting for daily firm this way, it should not matter whether the discount is effective for one month or for 12 months.
dev41
If there is a problem with the current arrangement, we should discuss it.
dev41
Nothing about the way we do these deals has changed since we discussed it last December.

Part II: FERC Writing Handbook 1.
dev41
"WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED" adds a note of authority to your pleadings.
dev41
In fact, some administrative law judges will throw your pleading into the special incinerator marked "Nonconforming Pleadings" (located on the west side of the FERC building) unless such language is present.
dev41
2.
dev41
Pronouns should be used sparingly, if at all.
dev41
With few exceptions, parties must always be named to avoid confusion, even if it means the name of the party will appear several times in one sentence.
dev41
3.
dev41
The verb "request" may not be used without the word "to."
dev41
Example: "Pipeline X respectfully requests the Commission to grant its motion."
dev41
4.
dev41
"In regards to" or "vis-a-via" sound more intelligent than "about" or "concerning."
dev41
5.
dev41
If you are not sure you've conveyed an important point effectively, repeat the statement verbatim at various other points in your pleading for emphasis.
dev41
Additionally, repeating a contractual provision several times in a contract will give your client greater rights than if you only include the provision once.
dev41
6.
dev41
Always recite the entire history of the proceeding in your pleading before stating the purpose of your pleading.
dev41
No FERC staffer ever remembers what happens, and the added pages will make your pleading really impressive.
dev41
7.
dev41
When in doubt, insert more commas.
dev41
I'm forwarding the attached as an update.

At your convenience, let's meet to discuss.

Attached for your information is a summary of other parties' requests for rehearing of Order 637.

I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Aurora, my changes appear on the attached.
dev41
I assume you or AA have updated the numbers for eligible transition costs (second paragraph of section 7).
dev41
(If you have not, I'm really not sure who would have those numbers) I updated the numbers for environmental costs in the footnotes.

The Commercial Group asked several weeks ago whether they can enter into discount letters applicable to daily firm for as long as one year.
dev41
The standard wording of the discount letter applicable to daily firm is such that the discount is effective for as many one-day terms as the FTS-1 agreement renews, but not beyond a specified date.
dev41
Typically TW enters into these discount letters for a term of one month.
dev41
The marketers say that they were once told that they could not make such a discount applicable for longer than a 3-month term.
dev41
I see no basis for this limitation.
dev41
The term of the FTS-1 agreement is one day, renewable from day to day.
dev41
The discount is only applicable for so long as the FTS-1 agreement renews.
dev41
If the FTS-1 agreement does not renew, the discount is no longer applicable.
