Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat, I will love you forever if you send me the OC. And I will go pick it up at the PO myself. (Trans: no, I never got the other package. Bleh!)

Jude does look like a wee pocket man. It's nice to be proven wrong on that sometimes.

On further reflection, I decided it's his big head that makes him look wee.

OK, I think because I freaked out that ONE TIME my officemate was really late during really nasty weather (he didn't appear until after noon) I have a reputation. He now calls or emails me when he's going to be late. On one hand, ok. On the other...well, it's kind of weird, isn't it?

What is even happening?

That crazy wind we have been having all morning? It's really brought the temperature down. We all wore our winter coats this morning, when I took Ben and Julia to school. When we walked outside, the balminess hit us like a slap in the face. When I got home, I checked the temperature, and it was 62 degrees. Two hours later, it is 42 degrees.

We are wondering if B5 Season 5 is worth it to buy, or if we should Netflix it.

I bought it, but that's because I think B5 is in the short list of great television and because it really was plotted as a novel. In novels, however, one of your characters can't turn prima donna on you and quit four-fifths of the way through, leaving you to scramble rewrites for an inadequate substitute. Season 5 does wrap up all the arcs, and it gives you "Sleeping in Light," which is a lovely coda for the series.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

On the other...well, it's kind of weird, isn't it?

Well, it depends on the scale of the freakout, and maybe I'm sensitive, but if I thought that a co-worker had a problem with my lateness, I'd try to smooth things over and be proactive to not get freaked out on again. that's just me though, I may be over-sensitive and conflict avoidant.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How long does it take for a signal to get from Saturn [?]

Right now, Saturn is approx. 67 light-minutes from Earth.

I got freaked out because I started picturing him dead or injured in one of the eight kazillion accidents that had happened that day. I'm not prone to that sort of panic usually. And that reminded me, he did used to often send out (prior to said incident) an email to the boss when he was going to be late, it's just that now he teases me with the "so you'll know I'm not dead." SoI guess the difference is now the awareness that I will be concerned if I don't hear anything, whereas before the note seemed superfluous. Or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gud doesn't want to be spoiled about Saturn and Titan....
