My day's suckitude hinges on whether the Spice Girls will reunite for Bob Geldof's Live 8 concerts.
I'm not sure, but I think the Spice Girls not reuniting will improve my day.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

First round's on me.
Wooohoo!
Um, as long as I don't have to go to the land of snow and cold.
Theo, that is much nicer than the usual assortment of bricks (and rusted jacks!) I see propping up porches around here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just dropped my can of Dr. Pepper. It wasn't open. This is both a good and a bad thing.
Tuesday is petty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have NO work. This is dispiriting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have the Fat Albert theme song in my head. It must be wishful thinking.
Anyway, good Tuesday news if you're in New York: There are still sailors around! I thought Fleet Week was just last week.

Is anyone's Tuesday not sucking royally?
Mine's sucking royally. We had two lateral associate candidates coming in for interviews today and my boss set up their schedules. The San Francisco schedule developed a gaping hole the minute I arrived this morning. The Palo Alto schedule totally blew up because my boss neglected to confirm with the headhunter, so I'm scrambling to put together an afternoon schedule in San Francisco for this candidate who is only in town today. It's too late for him to go to Palo Alto. Also? My boss is out this morning getting her hair done. [insert Marge Simpson growl of annoyance here]

It was DX who suggested the jack and the concrete blocks -- DX rules!
In Tuesday news, I just deleted 12 production databases, not the development ones I thought I was cleaning up. Luckily the production server is clustered, so it's not the royal screwup it could have been, but still. I think I'd better take lunch soon, before I destroy something else.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Stopping by to add that this Tuesday is sucking hardcore.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not sucking royally here, but not good by a long stretch either. The human race is inexpressibly irritating to me today, and I find myself the most irritating of the entire sorry lot.
I am truly sorry for Trudy's atomic shit of a day and everyone else's less spectacular but still impressive suckholes. Thank all the divinities of everyone's choice it's a short week.
