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.
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.
remember 8:00 here is 6:00 for you, so no woodshed for me....
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.
Awesome, Ginger. Once my plans are finalized, I'll ping you.
so you can join the ladies in the woodshed
Well, this just keeps getting better!
Party in the woodshed!
I am enjoying working from home. Especially enjoying mostly not-working from home, as I've been doing the past couple of days!

AIFG!
Except it won't be in a couple weeks, if I keep this up. The more monstrously unreasonable the deadline, the more my lizard brain says, fuck 'em.
My lizard brain should probably not be in charge here.
French/music quesion?
What does "Lo Boob Oscillator" mean in English? (It's the title of a Stereolab song.)

I wonder if that's the Stereolab equivalent of having your tit in the wringer.
I don't know if I'm in the woodshed for rolling into work a little after 10, considering that I was here until 8 last night.
I'm getting stuff done, but it's at the speed of molasses.
