Now tagless for your comfort.

Then we both started singing it to the Mnah-mnah song. Phenomenon, do-DO-do-do-do.

EARWORM! Gah!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I do this all the time with that word. Made science class..interesting.

The status is NOT quo.

That's my ringtone. The original Muppets singing, even. I live to earworm.

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

I need to change my ringtones. Currently my theme is old TV. My wallpaper is a TV showing Crockett & Tubbs, and various groups ring as Hawaii 5-0, Miami Vice, Benson, and for my dear family members, Soap.

Before that it was James Bond. Next will be Sci Fi, I think.

Except for the one friend that gets the Profit ring tone. I don't think I can ever change that, no matter what theme I have.

My head hurts massively. I so need to go home.

But first, work. Actual me-being-useful work. It's been a hell of a learning curve, and I haven't scaled the thing completely, but it's starting to make more sense and I can confidently make decisions and initiate activities by myself.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My ringtone is Elvis Costello. I don't even know what I'd change it to.

Oooh, maybe when football season starts I'll find a clip of "Are you ready for some footbaaaaaaal!?!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want to pull my hair out right now, as I am trying to write a functional job description for a proposed promotion.

Promotion = good. Dealing with job descriptions = PITA. I recently had our newish HR person freaking out over the fact that a position got a new title without any significant changes to the job description. The problem is, when it's still the same job, what do you do?

Punishingly Intricate

I'm pretty sure structures nearby are getting hit and there seems to be some hail out there.

I had a report of hail from my downtown friend. I hear a distant rumbling but it seems to have stopped here completely. We had some power fluxes too.

Doesn't seem like it will be an issue with today's storm but I really hope the parking lot I use isn't one of those Fell's Point places that likes to flood. Nobody here has mentioned it but that is an issue with this neighborhood.

Compassionately intolerant

I have no ring tones, but it occurred to me today that my most deeply loved tv shows have theme songs that I adore. Angel, Boomtown, Jonathan Creek (classical!even).

Bartleby is curled up between my legs...and has been velcro dog all day. I've never considered him storm averse, but today, he's right underneath me every second.

There is mucho thunder, yo.

hip deep in pie

While you guys are having heatwaves, yesterday I saw someone dressed in what looked like a winter coat! I mean it's cold, but it's not that cold!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Office Manager went out to Ikea to pick up a cabinet for our new hire's office. When she asked if we needed anyhting else, I answered, as I ALWAYS do, hey, bring me some Swedish Meatballs.

Well, she did! A whole meatball, new potato, lingonberry extravaganza!
