Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I slept past 8 this morning.

That would be great, Dana.

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

Jesse and Zenkitty, out to the woodshed with you both.

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 woke up at 6:45. My alarm was set for 7:00. I was mad that I only had 15 minutes left to sleep, so I reset my alarm for 8:00.

Of course, I didn't sleep all that well after that. And as a result I have to stay here until 6:00.

ita, remember 8:00 here is 6:00 for you, so no woodshed for me....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'll bet the Superman thing sounded like a great idea during the bachelor party. I'd also bet that the costumes were made possible by a 24 hour WalMart (or equivalent).

Also, my boss is pleased that I referred to some SQL he wrote as "clever."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I like that mantises can be seen to swivel their heads and actually look at people - makes them more anthropomorphic. Years ago I had one nesting under the wooden siding of my apartment that would turn and watch me unlock the door on occasion.

Earlier this fall there was a hapless one that recoiled off my office window when I raised the blinds to show him to a co-worker, and then climbed up another window screen around the corner (sans one leg), only to be blown away by the wind while I was watching.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Also, I just ate iced gingerbread cookies from Germany.

Nummy num num.

I woke up at 8 am, got to work @ 8:30, left at 9:10 for an appt, got back @ 10:40, and I'm going out for a working lunch at 10:30. But I'm compensating with my stress at being waaaay behind on many important things.

You're going to get your TV 3 hours before I do, so you can join the ladies in the woodshed.

::sigh:: We're giving a demo in ten minutes and no one thought to preview it for the business analyst (moi, naturellement). Needless to say, there's going to have to be a lot of explaining done to justify why it doesn't look like our design documents. I tried to inject myself into the meetings I wasn't invited to, but there's only so much I could do. We're not even close. I don't think it's going to be a good idea to show this to the guys I've been getting requirements from every day. They're going to think there's been a big communications break somewhere along the line. Which there seems to have been.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Awesome, Ginger. Once my plans are finalized, I'll ping you.
