Natter 74: Ready or Not  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Brenda, how awful. Thankful that they are okay, but much to deal with there.

Well done, Kat!! Much better adulting (no computer, not adulating) than me. The only real accomplishment today was telling my office to screw off and leave me alone with the bullshit calls. I'm dealing with house stuff today instead of work stuff.

I stepped on one of my cats in the dark this morning, but they seem to have forgiven and forgotten.

I correctly guessed that manning the office alone today would probably be deadly quiet and dull (the other possibility, franticly putting out emergency fires, has so far failed to materialize), so bringing gift packages and wrapping paper turned out to be a good plan. Now I only have to buy one more gift card and put it in an envelope and I am done with Christmas shopping this year.

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've been working all day. But I did get a nice gift basket from a client.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmm. What other Christmas song has rum-pa-pum-pum?

Yeah, I think you're out. That may have been a stealth jazz version of LBD, but that's just how insidious it is.

Boo! I mean, I will accept the judges' ruling in the spirit of good sportsmanship.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't claim that my ruling is decisive, but I know a lot of Christmas carols.

I've been LBD'd four times. It was not FG.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awful, brenda.

OMG, I want a nap so bad. We had team lunch out, and then I did two interviews, and now I have one more meeting, and then I will just have a little rest before choir. I was going to try to get work done this afternoon, but that just seems impossible.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've been staying out of stores and I listen to news radio, so I haven't been LDB'd ... yet.

I found some "thin mint" tea (by Bigelow). It's ... all right. Smells better than it tastes; the taste is faintly chocolate-y, even more faintly mint-y. Not bad, just not living up to the deliciousness that is the true Thin Mint.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I made it to the office. I returned the loaner SIM cards I was using for international work travel. I submitted an expense report. I scanned a receipt. I'm mostly catching up on my email and backing up files so I can upgrade my OS.
