Hi CAB!! Good to see you here.

Have I mentioned that I get to work at home today, while I wait for the cable guy? (Wednesday's poer outage made my cable connection a little wonky.) I have large amounts of work to do, so I can't goof off (too much), but I get to do it in my jammies.

Yay!

Today's fortune cookie:

You will always be surrounded by true friends.

And the food coma is arriving right on schedule. Hoo boy.

Remember that submarine that ran into that underwater mountain? It's in a drydock now: [link]

Damn, I'm amazed that something could take that much dammage while underwater and still not sink. Apparantly the inner pressure hull survived intact, while the outer hull got trashed to hell....

It's like they were walking around Seattle and the fog lifted...

Taxes (state and federal): DONE. Am getting big refund! For, I think, the first time ever. It's the one good thing about only working full time half the year -- my withholding was based on the full annual amount, which I didn't earn.

Now I really want Chinese.

Sometimes the only thing you need to make the day tolerable is to devour a good eggroll. I'm just saying.
