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.

Buffy: Just how I remember it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Aww, also skip the jockey job listings.
I'll let him know.
How did the cats travel? Never had much success with that one myself.
They didn't cooperate getting into the carrier. That took a couple tries. They cried for a bit at the start then they settled down and slept most of the way. My previous cat, Petri, was a great traveler. I'd fold down one of the back seats so he could get to the litter box in the trunk and he could roam the whole car.
My mother is watching Fox News. Help!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Holy cow, look at this job posting. Have you ever seen so much bullshit assembled in one place?

How do you breathe content? Is this a skill you can acquire, or must you be born with specific gills?
I don't know how "bleeding edge" is it to read rss feeds or use a Blackberry these days, but maybe I just don't "Get It."

I think my favorite part is
You can survive and prosper in a modern, high brilliance standards “rock ‘n’ roll” culture where your supervisors are fearless and your peers are A-game “imaginators” with the highest of execution standards
Because you know that's just code for bro-culture.

Thrive to spite them
And quotations are "abused" on a "regular" basis to show what "forward thinking" "bleeding edge" "rock star" "revolutionaries" as we "reimaginate" the "news"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
How do you breathe content?
I consistently find that I am more content when I breathe than when I don't.
Because you know that's just code for bro-culture.
It's barely code. Wait, sorry: It's "barely" code.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Finished my holiday shopping. Had to order my mom's gift online, since the Macy's I went to had no cosmetic/travel bags whatsoever. Also had to pay extra to make sure it will arrive here before we leave for Florida.
