Ugh. Our big group of editors have a slightly different holiday schedule than we support staff do, so we have to cover for them on Friday and Monday (which we're supposed to have off). I just agreed with my boss that I'd come in on Friday morning and do my morning load, and then leave at 11:30. I'll take a half-day sometime in January to make up for it. I do have all of Monday off, which is nice.

I'm only staying as late as 11:30 so I can head over to the pool for a swim at noon. I've got my swimsuit with me for after work today, which I am really looking forward to! I do have to stop by Walgreens and get a lock for my locker and try and memorize the combination or write it down somewhere.

I have a sneaking suspicion I will spend NYE as I did last: sick with a headcold. Goddamnit.

I can second the maxforce gel recommendation and add my go-to ant deterrent...Dawn dish washing liquid.

Whenever I get antfestations, I create a perimeter around the entry point with Dawn. The ants wander into it and their exoskeletons dissolve.

Once a few pile up, the word seems to spread and they move along. Then, when it is time to clean up, the soap is already there!

Oh, tommy! I have three hot glue guns. I have an unwholesome lurve for them. Try not to glue your skin. Yes, it does come off, but it hurts like a mofo. t /voice of experience.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Was the grinding guard discussion today here or Bitches? I'm having no luck searching this thread. A friend is looking for a brand recommendation on an OTC brand.

my favorite drugstore brand is dentek comfort-fit

but i also like sleep right, but only in the slim size.

lately i've been having zero luck finding either at the drugstores, so i've just been buying the double pack online periodically. My younger cat is really good at fishing my dental guards out of the medicine cupboard and nomming them to oblivion so i like to stay stocked.

You and me both, Sara.

FEH

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, if that happens to me, I also just bought an X-Acto knife set and some super-glue, so I should be prepared for anything.

Am I the only one alarmed by this?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jess: The subway is back now.

They're still having signal problems at Stillwell Ave so the B/Q are both pretty iffy. I never thought I'd be so grateful to have the F train as an option!!

My street's still not plowed, and Caton Ave (which is a major truck route) is blocked off because of a stalled 18-wheeler that's been there two days.

OTOH, at least I'm not the owner of this car!

OK, I'll avoid home body-modification... for now.
