Thansk for all the birthday wishes!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Thrive to spite them

ION, some company has been calling my house for the last week or so, leaving messages on my machine that start well before the beep [..]
So THAT'S what those are about. I've always wondered. I don't answer them, and I don't call back. I figure if they don't bother to identify themselves, no point in me returning the call. If it were important, like my bank or credit card, they'd identify themselves. Speaking of which, last weekend my cc called with an early possible fraud alert (it's a service they offer free.) Nothing was wrong, I guess I'd just broken out of my usual pattern of purchases by grocery shopping, then Target, then Walmart (they are the only place that carries picky cat's litter) then BB&B. I'm sure it is an algorithm or somesuch, but it is alway amusing when I set it off. I'm soooo predictable.
If the developers would just TELL me they are using a new dev database, I could change the scripts for them before they get all confused and start blaming me for not "updating properly." Dudes, I'd update properly if you'd talk to me once and a while.

Coding and Sleeping
On the way to work today I saw a bumper sticker with "CSI:" on it just like the tv show's typeface along with a big fingerprint. I though this was odd as I have never seen a bumper sticker for a tv show before. However, at a stoplight I saw that in small print on the bottom it said "Christ Saves Individuals". Clever.

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

He also saves groups. It's cheaper that way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nothing was wrong, I guess I'd just broken out of my usual pattern of purchases by grocery shopping, then Target, then Walmart (they are the only place that carries picky cat's litter) then BB&B. I'm sure it is an algorithm or somesuch, but it is alway amusing when I set it off. I'm soooo predictable.
I've gotten that, too. It's so funny -- they're all, "Um, miss, we wanted to let you know that someone used your card for XX at XX." "Oh yeah, that was me." "Oh, OK." Of course, when my card is ACTUALLY used fraudulently, no one calls me until the bill doesn't get paid. Der.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's Bloomsday? That always seems to sneak up on me. Once again, I fail to arrange to have burning pork kidney and Guinness for dinner.

There was a blog that was posting a page of Ulysses a day. And it was totally digestible that way, but I missed a week about 20 pages in and lost interest.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
How appropriate -- today's also a Thirsty Thursday here at work, which means free beer for Bloomsday!
