Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is everyone not posting? Don't make me go link hunting again. That never ends well.

The smiling asses are disturbing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm around. I just don't have anything to say.

And it's very quiet here at work. Almost...too quiet.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It's so cold in my office I'm wearing a sweater and have a jacket over my lap to try to keep from freezing. Soon - a trip out doors for hot coffee.

Why is everyone not posting?

I'm just trying to make it through the next three and a half hours without stabbing anyone in the face so I can go home and watch the ten million hours of Wimbeldon coverage that have been sitting on my TiVo since Thursday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching Slings and Arrows and procrastinating running errands.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I have something to say! Or something to ask. How many of you use the word "rook" as a verb, meaning "fooled somebody out of something"? Like:

Jeff rooked the table with that bluff.

Jenny should have been homecoming queen. She totally got rooked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm on a 10-12 hour budget to figure something out. Actually, I have to try to come up with a demo web page and determine if the whole project can be done in a week or so.

This is all because there's an offshore oil rig in the North Sea that sinking. Actually, they've pumped out so much oil that the ground below is sinking (very unusual) which is pulling the oil rig down. Recently it had to be evacuated.

I'm building a simple project management website for the folks who are trying to fix it.

Exciting news! My Big!Boss has been offered a job at Harvard, and has been wavering for more than a week now. Word comes that they are flying him & the whole family up to check the area out. I think he'll take it. He was never going to be able to resist saying "I work at Hahvahd." He just wanted to be woooooooooed.

The plus: no more Big!Boss Golden Retriever Puppy! The minus: Wait. Who will they appoint as interim, and who will they ultimately hire!? Maybe it's better the devil you know...
