I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

If I only had a brain...

You can do that? Huh.

My taste exact for faultless fact can always be trumped by a good metaphor.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Heh. Well, I've got to die tonight and so it really doesn't matter.

(I couldn't remember any G&S lyrics that mentioned being a sleep-deprived literalist....)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I think I liked the Eccos best, too.

I was a little toxic at last night's bd mtg, but I kept smiling, so I think they mistook my jabs as humor. It's a mistake people make.

That's a good thing.

had a second meeting with a company - talked more specifically about jobs there. I think I am interested and that they like me. I have meeting #3 next week. we'll see.

Also a good thing!

I haven't done any work since like noon. Oops. This is what they get for telling me to install AIM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am sad that Aerosoles have no entry in this category. Also sad that the pair I have that almost qualify (they're patent) rapidly ceased to fit once I got them home. But at $11 and today's gas prices, not worth driving across town to return.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

OMG! you are on AIM at work? I must remember to load it everyday from now on. AIM express makes me happy.

I was out half the day, so I have done no work either. now I must catch up.

I am, but now I'm so terrified if I sign on at home that my boss with IM me at midnight instead of just emailing like he does now. At least emails I don't have to reply to until I'm at work.

Jesse, can you set up a new ID and give that to your boss? One you only use at work?

Oh, huh. I could have done. I guess I still could, but I'm not all that worried. It's not like I'm ever on AIM anyway.

Segment work and play! Divide! Box up! Compartmentalise! Also -- draw lines.

Way back before I could access work email from home, I wouldn't give out my home email or phone. I'm big on leaving the job at the job. Now I tell people I don't check email (I don't) frequently, if at all. Of course, I also use the answering machine to screen calls.

I like being unreachable. Or rather, controlling who I communicate with. My whims, people, MINE.

but I kept smiling, so I think they mistook my jabs as humor. It's a mistake people make.

Ah, but was it fun and not just annoying?

I'm sleepy. I think I might be reacting to the smell of something my officemate ate. It's coming awfully close to my reaction to raw onions. Annoying.
