Oof. Was plagued by insomnia last night but it wasn't annoying me so I just went with it. Went to sleep sometime after 4:30 and woke up about half an hour ago. Now must shower and skitter over to the farmer's market and then Trader Joe's. Want to make coffee and lounge in my pj's instead.
It says that the event will happen at "eleven-thirty o'clock with a gift presentation at twelve-thirty o'clock." Is that correct?
No. And it bugs me on principle too.
and now need to work on resumes/applications. Don't wanna. Wanna play Caesar III.
I think computer games are technology's way of petting us on the head and telling us it will be okay. Well, they were for me. Also excellent ways of getting through any space of time as they are time sinks and damn good at it.
Sammie is trying to talk me into opening the Cat-Latch™ on the crock-pot so she can breakfast upon the nummy tender chickens inside it.
If birds evolved from dinosaurs, would dinosaurs smell like birds to cats?
Heh.
Oops, puppycat just realized that the bag of food next to her (full-ish) bowl is empty. She is freaking out man.
Okay, shower. Hope the market is open til 1 and then kibble. I can do this...
rough draft of paper completed.
GInger and Deena, insent.
Yay, Nora!
I have to leave for work in a few minutes. I'll be working with the big weenie. Now that bosslady has told him to suck it up and actually listen to me, his presence no longer feels so malevolent. It just feels empty - like I'm the only grown up mind there. Compared to this, working with the itty bitty high school girls is sooooooooo much fun.

Me too. Without going too far into research, it is my understanding that Time is represented as o'clock only on full hours. I would have also suggested to use am or pm to indicate time of day. I think that time is thus represented, if you want to be formal:
Eleven o'clock am
Eleven-thirty am
Twelve o'clock noon
Twelve-thirty pm
(Etc.)
From that you can do variations, such as adding "in the morning" or numerals and variations therof. I personally prefer numerals for important times in notes, to me times seem more rigid with "11:30 am" than "eleven-thirty am," your time sense may vary.
I'm even okay with 12 am and 12 pm, even though technically 12 pm doesn't exist, being that 12 noon
is
meridian.
The thread's not dead, it's just resting its eyes.
I'm glad to know that eleven thirty o'clock is actually wrong. It sounds so bad it should be, but the people who sent out my invitation are supposed to be good at that sort of stuff. After all, it's a big part of their job.
Does puppycat eat directly out of the bag?
My cats will excavate food out of a new bag if I leave it out, but I have a large canister that I keep their food in and they leave it alone even if it is open.
Sadly in my brief research, I did not find a flat out, authoritative statement that said "o'clock shall only be used with solid hours."
