It means holy blue, but I think it's because it rhymes with sacre dieu, holy god. It's like the french equivalent of jeepers. I think.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Jesse! I needed you today! and then I figured out my own dilemma (your address is the one in Astoria, right?) and now I hope it's all good.

I got to watch H2G2 and the first three episodes of the new Doctor Who yesterday! It was fun.
Hey, did anyone catch 60 minutes? I was watching my tape of the Triple Crown special and missed it. Apparently there was a segment called "The Hobbit"? Was it about the book? Or about the new species of people? (Well, the discovered remains of a species of tiny people.)

Is it wrong that I am now trying to think of six unique messages that I would want on a Scrolling Belt Buckle?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We went to Children's Fairyland today (in Oakland, near Lake Merritt. Purportedly Walt's inspiration for Disneyland) because my co-editor begged me to drag Emmett along since adults can't go unattended by a child.
Now I'm at work. Why am I at work on Sunday? Did you see Punch Drunk Love and see how Adam Sandler finessed the frequent flyer coupons? Here's the deal. If I work on Sunday, I get time and a half. If I work at least an hour on Sunday, I am credited with four hours of work. It's some whackaloon policy going back to the Puritans I expect, but that's still the firm policy. Consequently one hour of Sunday work equals six hours of salary. It's nutty, but here I am.
Most people don't take advantage of it because they don't live in The City, and the commute time back and forth makes it less of a deal. If it takes you 3 hours to get 4 hours of OT you're only going to do it when you actually have to go in and finish some work.

Damn, I would totally work a couple of hours every Sunday. But then, I kind of liked going in to take care of stuff on the weekend when it's quiet.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Wish I had a couple of hours worth of work to do on Sundays. Or even during the week. My company just had to lay off 3 people and from a place that only has 20 employees, it was a blow.

Oof, quester, that sucks. How are your personal prospects?
In other job news, how do I get the job of being the person at VH1 who sits around thinking of all the "# most [adjective] moments" shows? Because I LOVE THEM.

Our wings are not tired
It's Sunday. I'm at work. This is in no way unusual.
