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.
Willow, check you out! Witch-Fu!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.)

From what I've heard about south American countries like Brazil, time is approached in a much more fluid manner there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had a job at college where I asked the boss if I could go home because I had a hangover. He was fine with it.
It was my first ever hangover too.
Maybe it helped that my boss liked to drink a lot too.

If I only had a brain...
Yo, Dana, I started watching Farscape. Suela feels smug.

How many toasters does Suela have by now?

My matlab just crashed. With all I've worked on all day (it's after 9pm). I needed these graphs for a meeting that takes place tomorrow on 11am.
I somehow have to find the energy to begin running everything again. And the peace of mind to not wave my fist at the innocent monitor while shouting. I'm taking deep breaths.
Is Gud around? 'cause I'd really like a spin on that time machine of his now.
[Edited to try to take some comfort in numbers: 3²=9, which makes this post # evil-upside-down-with-numbers. Considering what I've written in that post, I should have known. And now I feel like I'm playing graphology-for-numbers, with "it looks like this, therefore its meaning is this"]
