I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Ugh, annual review and comp time. As expected, it was not as expected. Putting it behind me since at the very least I'm out of that department now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are you able to, like, bury the earbuds and plug into your hair?

I'm sure there are people who could. It sounds like a Project Runway challenge. But lunch time is about over, so I think I will have to just deal with it and open my door again.

Glad for the good BOOM, sara!

meara's credit card - APPEAR, hide and seek time is over.

Dana, I've been known to use binder clips and other office supplies to put up my hair before.

I tried the binder clip first, but it wasn't effective enough to make it worth the headache it would probably cause. And my hair's not long enough to use a pencil any more.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm sorry, brenda. I am glad you're out of that toxic environment though.

My hair is too fine for the headphone trick to work. Pens and pencils are my go-to when I have no hair ties or rubber bands, but then again my hair is long enough to pull that off.

Just went to the travel medicine clinic and it was surprisingly great! The NP was super cool and totally willing to prescribe the preventives I'd hoped, and recommended some others. And I got two vaccinations right then and there (that part I'm figuring will suck tonight but ah wel)

NPR's posted the result of their Tiny Desk Contest, and the winner is really interesting. I didn't think I liked it at first, but it's really haunting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, Dana. I hope she becomes more well-known after this.

Ugh. Missing credit card is not in my pants I wore yesterday. Here's hoping the bar has it. :(
