People! en-dashes and em-dashes signify completely different things!!!
I got laughed at just this past weekend for saying that.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

I am a walking (or sitting) stereotype and have a Dilbert cartoon taped up at my desk.
I have one, too!
Panel one: "I got a bad case of ergophobia. It's an abnormal and persistent fear of work."
Panel two: "Isn't everything about you a little abnormal and persistent?"
Panel three: "Yeah, but I'm still delighted when I discover new words for me."
It's times like this I wish I were a psychopath.
I've been listening to my "Songs for the Homicidal Maniac" playlist on iTunes for weeks now. I probably don't have anything you don't already have for cheer-up music, but I probably could toss up a few...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sure. Or homicidal. That would work too.

so, east coasters, what is everyone having for lunch?
I'm working at home today so I'm either going to have toasted cheese and apple sandwich or leftover pasta w/ kale & beans & other stuff. I'm leaning toward the toasted cheese though because that's something I can only do at home (no toaster oven at work).
I'm not having lunch at all until I finish working on one section of this document I'm updating and take a short nap. Yay for working at home!

Is there one called "Give Me My Review Changes, Bitch, or I'll Bust a Cap in Your Tutorial"?

Wow, Sue, that sounds like a great job. Good luck!
Thanks. It does sound like a really interesting job.
Sue, that sounds so cool.
I love the CBC too, but I don't know if I expressed my geekiness enough.

Ooooo! I'm not familiar with that particular song Vortex, but it just earwormed me with "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo. Muchas gracias.
Up until now I've had a live-and-let-live attitude toward potheads, but no longer. After a 16-hour workday with no dinner, I partook of the joy of waiting behind 8 cars full of stoners at the city's sole open-after-1am drive-thru. People, if you're too wasted to decipher a McDonald's menu and figure out what you want within 5 minutes, you do not need to be driving a car!
