We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I want gingerbread pancakes. Nom. I am at work today and off tomorrow and Friday. It's not too cold, which is good.

This is very important!

It's good to get those important tasks done.

Ms Pettigew lives for A Day

Oh, I love that movie. I need to watch it again.

And a friend of my sister's found a used copy of Truly, Madly, Deeply for her, and I am SO watching that over the holiday.

I am in the office now. Bah.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am in the office but the weather is supposed to get nasty later so I may chicken out and leave early.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm debating what I'll do for lunch today. I didn't make anything last night, nor did I pack up any of the leftover Wendy's chili from yesterday, so I think I'll head down to the cafeteria and see what they have for soup, and if nothing appeals there, I'll probably get a tuna fish sandwich and just eat the insides.

NASA needs to do this because launching a space shuttle with a railgun is too cool not to do.

They gave us an hour off this afternoon, which is nice, except I feel so crappy that I may just use my sick leave and bail early. I'm certainly getting a lot of use out of that benefit this month, man.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

We are still in the hospital, waiting to be cut free.

Grace's IV/infusion pump is alarming. I like that it alarms quietly for a minute or two, then gets angrier and louder and then louder still a few minutes after.

Cannot believe the sheer amount of rain!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hope you get discharged soon, Kat.

I am enjoying a bit of quiet before I truly get started on my day.

Presents are pretty much done but I left myself a last-minute list that's a bit goofy, including "shopping for Xmas and Xmas eve dinners" and "put up tree." Oops. Still, I realize how lucky I am not to have to worry about taking time off work right now.

Oh! Enjoy your maternity leave, Jessica!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So that meeting I mentioned up there? No one showed up except for one of the IT guys, me and boss's boss. Boss's boss has suddenly decided that I run all of online and have to call a meeting to discuss a project that has nothing to do with me other than I'm the sap that got roped into running the meeting where we schedule things.

This is like having the doctor's secretary who schedules your appointment in the theater for the surgery.
