"No, lie down a little longer, then maybe a stretch class and some krav. Then we'll have cupcakes."

what? this is not normal body communication. that is my body 90% of the time.

Someone make me finish up my self eval. I'm not sure what to put.

are you seriously asking that question here? Put, #1 at being cutiepie saracakes, expert at having cheeks pinched, certified platinum cat wrangler and herder, exceeded goal with grouchypants image with co-workers, surpassed all expectations at food refusal, assumed role as deputy in charge of mouse removal from offsite location (home), exceptional use of squishy toy....

you need more?

ita's body has been talking to me again. Except for the krav part. My body says "lie down a little longer, then lie down some more. Maybe some internet. THEN cupcakes."

I'm renewing my annual request for Kelsey Grammer to host. *sigh* I'm never going to get my wish.

"lie down a little longer, then lie down some more. Maybe some internet. THEN cupcakes."

No, mine definitely thinks that work is the only thing stopping me from exercising twice a day. I give it cupcakes (well, not today -- today is lemon bars and Krispy Kreme) all the time.

I'm renewing my annual request for Kelsey Grammer to host. *sigh* I'm never going to get my wish.

You just made me want David Hyde Pierce to host. I hope you're happy now.

Hahahah. No pinching.

Yeah, I wish. It's a FORM. And I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to fill out. I'm sitting here thinking, yep. I did that and that and that. Didn't mess up. What more do you want? You want me to grade my time management skills? Oh no, no you don't.

I want ita to host. She can krav Beyonce.

Note to Barbra Streisand: You're more than old enough to BRING YOUR FRICKING GLASSES. And if you won't, don't bitch at Dustin for stealing the envelope.

Oh, Joan Collins. Poor poor you. The big 80s hair, the banana clip in the back, the bad frosting?

Is it just me, or is this the single worst photograph of Michael Jackson ever published? [link]

Or if you go to msnbc's front page, you can currently see a closeup of his face, which makes it scarier....

inspired by ita's body, I just went to make a photocopy of my shoulder stretches so I could leave one at work.

The copier jammed. While trying to slide out the paper drawer, I overbalanced and fell straight back on my ass. In the process, I threw out my left arm to catch myself -- this would be the one with the bad shoulder joint.

From now on, I'm sticking to the horizontal cupcake eating.

My body says "lie down a little longer, then lie down some more. Maybe some internet. THEN cupcakes."

Mine too. You know the ?Oscar Wilde? line about how "Sometimes I feel the urge to exercise, but I lie down until it passes"? That's me.

Which, sadly, shows, so I need to fight it. Sigh.

Hivemind question: What kind of work ethic should I expect from an intern? I know she's not getting paid, and she doesn't have a car so getting out here is a little chancy (though not THAT bad). But am I asking too much to expect her to call in the morning if she won't get in? She's also already taken three sick days, and she only started six weeks ago, and only works three times a week, for five hours each day. And that's not counting the days she's left early...
