We have arrived home from our week-long motorcycle trip. It was great fun and spending all that time in the desert was really hypnotic. It's so beautiful in its own way.
Still motorcycle travel is really tiring and I am SO glad to be home.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Weekend plans: take down tree (what? don't look at me like that!), sleep over exchange (last time we got the girls, I think this time we'll get the boys), work on conference presentation, stretch class. Hmm, the weekend really should involve cocktails too, shouldn't it?

I have had to take my phone off the hook so as to stop the CONSTANT interrupting intercom calls my co-worker is making while I attempt to meet the final deadline on a 2-month project.
As I suspected, she doesn't hit me with a question every 3 to 5 minutes if she has to pick her ass up and walk across the building to my workstation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, testing is going hilariously. Nothing inspires confidence like the vendor's developer making changes in prod while he's on the phone with you. Or even just revealing he's forgotten to make changes in prod.
I'm going home.

One of my co-workers just tried to get sassy. Heteronormatively sassy. Apparently women should be reborn as men so they get to know what being married to a woman is like.
Yeah, he probably thinks I'm gay now.

Local SF con Arisia is this weekend. I'd be there, but between gusting, window-rattling winds and penetrating cold, I'm not up for travelling in and out tonight. Tomorrow I'll make a long day of it.

Burrell, my tree is still up. And it's on the kitchen counter!

Hi ya.
Breaking in, does anyone have a link to a British dictionary? I'm hip to most UK spellings, but I need to make sure on some.
Better yet, if someone has a link to British dictionary germane to 1752.
Or naval terms on British ships circa 1750s.
Any? All three?
I still feel like shit, but I have to get this copy edit done tonight. Bleargh. Head not happy, stomach not happy, want to lay down and sleep.
