Coding and Sleeping

So we have one missing intern who slept in, one missing intern who was told to sleep in, and - are there any others missing, AFAWK?

Are they just sleeping in, or are they being sacrificed to appease demons? I'm getting concerned.

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

Are they just sleeping in, or are they being sacrificed to appease demons? I'm getting concerned.

It's sorta trendy in demon circles these days to have interns, as the demons find it amusing to send the interns out for coffee.

Wright houses are notorious for leaks and so on -- Wright loved working with exotic and "new" materials, like the cast concrete blocks of that house. He was not a very good structural engineer. Even so, it's taken 80 odd years for the LA house to come to this....

Lil' Kim jury got strict instructions yesterday not to buy any of the raunchy rapper's CDs - or listen to HOT 97 during her perjury trial. "It's not a good idea to form any opinion about the music that you don't already have," Manhattan Federal Court Judge Gerard Lynch said.

Do you think this means it's okay to listen to Power 105?

Up with the sun

Cindy, I was reading too fast and confused Jesse and amych. I think. I seem to be having a confused day.

An hour is totally average. I mean, it's long, but it's not unreasonable. This girl needs a reality check.

One would think, yeah. But then she's from Korea, and I have no idea what the norm is there. (Though, I suspect calling in sick because you slept late is a no-no in any culture.)

Are they just sleeping in, or are they being sacrificed to appease demons?

Good point. I smell hellmouth.

Wright houses are notorious for leaks and so on -..

A famous comment by an owner of a Wright designed home when the roof leaked:

"That's what I get for leaving a work of art out in the rain."

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

went to the doctor and got an anti-b prescription. The physician assistant - who's like the last minute go to guy, and is a doctor - is very mysterious and inscrutable. He took my temp and didn't tell me if I had a temp or not. I can tell he thinks I talk too much. I've seen him 3 times in the past 2 months and he totally never remembers me. But I like him anyway, which is funny.

I don't know if this is a frivolous use of anti-b's but if it shortens this cold up I don't care. I hope it's not frivolous.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm back. I know, you didn't know I was gone. I skipped 2000 messages. The sky is blue. The brain is asleep. The dog howls at midnight.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

One would think, yeah. But then she's from Korea, and I have no idea what the norm is there. (Though, I suspect calling in sick because you slept late is a no-no in any culture.)

Well, is the office an hour further away today than it was when she took the job? That's the only norm that should be a factor here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(Though, I suspect calling in sick because you slept late is a no-no in any culture.)

Yeah, I can't really picture a society where "Sorry, I overslept" is a good excuse to skip work. (But if anyone knows of one, please let me know so that I can move there.)
