Working today sucks. I want a nap. Possibly until tomorrow.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I want a nap too. But a hot bath before that. Or maybe some time in a sauna.
Maybe I'll go to a Russian bathhouse this weekend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hivemind! I am writing a cover letter and I need help with this sentence: "As a post-production house, CaptionMax had a very tech-savvy staff, so I am comfortable with Geeky Peeps." But I don't want to say geeky peeps. What could I say instead? Or maybe I should just restructure the whole sentence? Any suggestions?

Is the point of the sentence your comfort with geeky peeps?

Yes, it's a IT services company, so I want to stress that I am comfortable with techy people.

Nerds!
Sorry, not helpful.
Comfortable with working in an IT-heavy environment. Comfortable with technical jargon and....nerds.

I have been productive as hell all morning and yet I haven't touched the stuff I had planned to accomplish today.
And I have an Excel query that is kicking my ass. Normally I can make MS Query do flips and for this one report it is just giving me the stupid look.

Oh, looking at the view may be the thing I do first. I certainly do it pretty soon, even when the view is a parking lot or a wall (I have to look to find that out, after all).
I am hogging all the workday mojo, it seems. I have new tasks and I am plowing right through them, and my manager swung by to say she heard I was "rockin' over here". So that's good.
