I would really like my boss to open his office door so I can talk to him about the project plan and status updates that just landed in my lap. I know he's going to come out of his office at noon and wonder where I am. Making sure I only work 40 hours this week, is where. Gotta leave then because of the one o'clock meeting.
She just... she just did the math.

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

I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything from my boss today--turns out that she's off. Since she usually works from the city office, I don't see her every day, but she usually send an e-mail out telling us that she's taking pto the next day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am so full and sleepy from Cheesecake Factory for lunch, but happy about it!
Now my working-from-home problem is that I don't really have to do anything this afternoon, but stuff does have to get done by Monday. So I could blow off the rest of today, but then would be working on the weekend. Hmmmmm.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Jesse, for whatever it is or isn't worth, I'm a firm believer in the weekend as time off unless absolutely necessary.

We have IM, but I, too, keep forgetting to turn it on. Although I generally remember when I'm working from home. I don't do much with it, but it is sort of an "at my desk" signal for the days when my desk is a couch in my living room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am generally in that camp, but whenever I've worked from home on a Friday, I have enjoyed doing a couple of hours on Friday and a couple on Sunday, and calling it good. (How much would I really be getting done in the office today? Not much.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The picture at this blog post is so pretty!
A bunch more pretty pictures of Mars: [link] The first one is so weird it looks fake:
Intersecting swirling trails left by the earlier passage of dust devils across sand dunes, as they lifted lighter reddish-pink dust and exposed the darker material below. Also visible are darker slope streaks along dune edges, formed by a process which is still under investigation.
Now I wanna visit Mars....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Isn't that redundant?
Yeah, wrod. You should hear them and their friends whine like toddlers for a month solid before and after anyone else wins a series.
