I just got off the phone with Doug and Bob Mackenzie (a pair of guys in northern Illinois). The accent was dead on, and I very nearly said Good Day to them.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just got back from taking all the toys the office collected to Children's Hospital. It made me so happy to do so. The staff there was so nice and thankful, even though I'm sure they get a ton of donations this time of year.
Then I got back to work to find that both Deidrich Bader and Laraine Newman favorited a tweet of mine. Clearly, I am now a nationally known bon vivant.

Help me, hivemind. Do I want to eat at Red Lobster tonight, or get sushi?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Why is that a question?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Taking tomorrow off, as we're flying to FL to see my folks. (The flight isn't until 5 pm, but why push things?) Have to pack.

Sometimes I'm just in the mood for Red Lobster. But I vote sushi.
Well, fuck, people are leaving early just no one told me. And excel just crashed possibly losing all my work from the day so I need to stay and recover files anyway. Gah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's been true for years!
Well, fuck, people are leaving early just no one told me.
This is why I went to talk to my colleague about letting his people go! (Not like Moses.) It sucks to realize that other people are leaving when you are a rule-follower who wants to be dismissed! Speaking from experience....

Why is that a question?
Because I'm a lot likelier to go to the sushi place down the block for lunch Saturday than across town to Red Lobster, and they have a promotion I want to get in on before it ends around New Year's.
Edit: I think I've talked myself into going out for lobster tonight before my sense of fiscal responsibility can kick in regarding bonus money.

Indeed.
Excel has not reopened. I'll give it two more minutes.

In that case, carpe Lobster.
