Thrive to spite them

Every work place should have a strictly enforced rule that you can't play any kind of media without using headphones or ear buds.

Right now there are 3 different people who have stuff going and I'm listening to thunderstorm sounds because it's the only thing that will drown it all out. With my earbufs obviously

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Askye, that would drive me batty. I’m glad you have your earbuds to drown them out.

-t, please check back in so I won’t worry.

I went consignment shopping today. I found a couple cute blazers, a pair of black legging, and a pair of jeans. I also got a few books for ltc. So, not a bad day. The weather was really nice too.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did you know today is National Prime Rib day?

I did not!

Fortunately, my office did :)

Ohhh nice Trudy!

It's almost time for me to leave work and have my vacation. I'm so ready. This week has been long and crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sorry, sj! I am fine, with clean laundry and back in my hotel room for the night. I spent more time waiting for transit and walking around than I really intended to today and didn’t think to update….

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

NYC folks, there's a restaurant in Tribeca that does a Cincinnati night on the last Monday of the month, so if you feel like your life is lacking weird chili and amazing ice cream, here's where to go: [link]
