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

I'd rather never have an image or likeness of Karl Rove in my house, no matter what the form. He or Cheny. scary, ugly things.

When Lori was doing Mars Sols it was wacky. I couldn't keep track of when she was at work and when she wasn't. there was the other issue of the almost constant access to ice cream.

My official work hours are 7:16-3:24 (seriously. that's how it's listed.) I only get paid for working 6.6 hours per day. I'm usually here from 6:45 AM to about 3:30ish if I can get out quickly, or 4:00 if I'm futzing around as often happens.

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

Darn it.

That Friday-afternoon-time-slowdown thing is happening again....

I have 21 minutes until the end of the workday.

So when faced with our least favorite Scandinavian delicacies, my sibs and I always felt free to say “kaka, this is definitely kaka.” It can be a wonderful thing to be eight years old.

That's funny.

When I work away from home, my hours are usually 10-6 or 10:30-6:30. As a result, consider a 10am meeting an early one. Sadly, due to having to match daycare hours, this will have to change next job. Paul works 8 to 5.

My whole family are night owls. I can call my mother at 11:45 and know she'll be awake. I can also call at 10am and be pretty certain of waking her up.

I'd rather never have an image or likeness of Karl Rove in my house, no matter what the form. He or Cheny. scary, ugly things.

I'd be fine with either, though they'd necessitate me buying rum and live chickens for the voodoo ceremony.

My workday is supposed to be 9-6 with an hour for lunch. Getting in by 9 is more theoretical than practice, but the people around me know I'm not currently leaving til 10:30 or 11 pm and don't care to bring up the tardiness. When things get back to normal hours they'll be paying me to come in and sit drinking coffee in a daze for an hour, while allowing me to go home at 6 and miss the fairly productive next hour that I could be working. All so all the start times line up evenly with no odd numbers on an executive's report somewhere.

Hey, so I've got kind of a weird question. Did Rosa Parks's arrest show up on background checks when she went to apply for jobs? I mean, obviously, if you're hiring Rosa Parks you probably already know, but still.

Officials in Detroit and Montgomery, Ala., meanwhile, said the first seats of their buses would be reserved as a tribute to Parks' legacy until her funeral next week.

Uh... okay. I mean, I get it, but there is a part of me that thinks, "So in honor of Rosa Parks, you're making sure nobody sits in the front? Interesting technique."

I'm on Atlantic time! My day started before yours.
