How happy am I with the new office floor plan? Very happy.
I'm far away from my psycho boss and the noisier people in the office, and J (aka my prospective TAR partner) is my cube neighbor. Awesome.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

It'll be okay, Tom! Talk about: Buffy, beer, tea, travel indiepop and xkcd!

Go Tom!! Good luck!
I have graded 20 long papers (6-10 pages each) 50 short responses (2 pages each) and I still have another 20 long papers to go. UGH. No. Good.
But I did make stew (with chipotle and smoked paprika.... and it's really delish, but more like soup). I think I'll make buttermilk biscuits for dinner.

Sometimes I think we should just give up and let "alot" be a word.
Over my cold, dead fingers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go, Tom!
I don't think I know how to make any of those dating doohickeys work. I don't think I know how to make those menfolk doohickeys work. It's all beyond me.
msbelle, I think you had a good day.
The holiday resulted in a crazy smooth commute for me. Hope it's silky on the way home today.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Tom!!! Go Speed Dater!!

Lou Dobbs is quitting--tonight's his last show on CNN. Last minute announcement, so I'm guessing it was either resign or get canned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I know how to make any of those dating doohickeys work.
This is why I've basically given up on online dating in favor of these things where people just show up in front of you -- speed dating and the like. It's just meeting a new person.

Good luck Tom!
The holiday is messing me up, I keep thinking it's a Sunday.
ETA: Apparently the holiday is really messing me up.
