Ugh, when I left for work this morning it was chilly, raining, and my building was playing that plaintive wailing song from Once over the loudspeakers. No one told me that Belfast would be moving to my neighborhood.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Day 2 of my stay in the frozen tundra: Put on festive Christmas socks today in an attempt to inject some holiday cheer and warmth into my sad, cold life. Sadly, the little reindeer faces on my feet have not helped, as they stare up at me accusingly, saying in their little reindeer voices, "Why so cold? Why?"

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth! Have you sunk so low?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth! Have you sunk so low?
That is an awesome picture.

Today was an interesting exercise in slipping and sliding on the road, combined with having cars in the next lane kicking up snow onto my windshield when they changed lanes to get around me because I was allowing a little extra space between me and the person in front of me, due to conditions.
Oh, well, at least I got my stop at Target out of the way early (picked up the new Glee soundtrack and Harry Potter as well as Julie&Julia for my dvd shelf). I'm going to call my boss and see if I can take two hours of pto at the end of the day and go home at 4:00, before the snow is supposed to really kick in. Up here in the NW 'burbs, we're supposed to get between 4-8 inches of additional snow over the 2 we already have.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
C'mon now! Gaga is a Lady. Lady Diana Spencer, Lady Gaga...Maybe she'll marry Wills!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with my boss, discussing among other things, how she doesn't have time to make one phone call. Yeah.

Dude, I am so glad you set yourself up to get paid consulting fees. They are a mess.
My current work mess? Person who has been out for over a month for medical reasons is back today and before checking with me started sending out emails for stuff that has already been cleared up in her absense. DUDE! Just cause the stuff is still on your desk does not mean that no one did anything. CHECK IN FIRST. She is not in my department so I had no idea she was back.

@@ People, man.
I am getting paid to do writing that I just can't bring myself to do right now! Boooo.

Huh--on yesterday's Jeopardy, Siddarth (the contestant in the middle who was jumping all over the board with his choices) was the guy whom George Allen, the Repub nominee for Virginia governor a few years ago, called "Macaca." They didn't mention it on the air, but someone at TWOP remembered him.
