those come in boxes, not arranged, if that is an issue.

Not really. I'll check proflowers.

From xkcd, Sagan-Man

Bitten by a radioactive Carl Sagan in 1995, Sagan-Man possesses the powers and abilities of Carl Sagan.

Oh man, Sparky. May the phone ring with good news. SOON.

CJ only got a block from home, on his way to school and hit a patch of black ice. He tore up his palm pretty good. He hobbled home, got some first aid, and then I drove him to school. Late. I called and said he had a medical appt. He did need medical attention (of the motherly kind).

The sidewalks between our place and school were not cleared or deiced. We only live a few blocks away and those are the major paths most kids who walk use. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh my goodness, Sparky, that is hoorible.

happy belated birthdays to Hil and sumi!

I am having a Monday- I woke up late, I left my keys in the zipcar, and I keep, for lack of a better word, stepping in the guacamole at work. People read way to much into my motivations.

Looks like Count von Count has the least weaknesses to me. But that's 1-2-3-4-5-6 six question marks! Mwahahaha.

{{Sass}} That's awful, Sparky. WTF is wrong with people?

Any opinion on Teleflora? FTD?

My brother recently dropped FTD for Teleflora, iirc, because of backend problems. Which probably makes no difference to your needs, but, hey, it's an opinion. If you happen to be sending flowers to Idaho or eastern Washington, I recommend him [link]

{{CJ}}

Sparky, I hope it's nothing malicious and is something that ends up being trivial and passing.

Suzi, owch to CJ. Poor kid.

I come in at 8, so calling an 8:30 meeting is no skin off my nose. Unless you call it and haven't show up yet at ten to nine. In which case, you're not looking good. This guy has been late so often, and this is only the start of his second week.

My Monday is not combative, but it is kind of blah and stupid. I think I will try some tea and see if that helps.

This guy has been late so often, and this is only the start of his second week.

Is this three-hour lunch guy?

Is this three-hour lunch guy?

Same one. I don't get people. He's just now coming in, and isn't even ready for the meeting that would have started half an hour ago. Hey, more time for me to research, but still.

Man. I've been coming in almost an hour late for a while now, but I've been here 5 years and am pregnant. And I almost never take lunch.

Gah, Sparky, that's awful. I swear I was reading about a similar situation up here in MA, except the dog park was more official already. Didn't stop the assholes from trying to hurt the dogs, though (I don't think poisoning was involved in this case, but violence against some random dogs). Why do people have to suck?
