The wintery part of our mix isn't supposed to show until 10pm. As long as it's not tons of freezing rain I'll be happy. Snow? No problem.

Fred, that's pretty much my attitude as well. Except mine is "get home, take the trash out and get the @!(*&#!! snow shovel out of the trunk." Really, I'll be shocked if we actually get half a foot.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I always think "wintry mix" should mean frozen margaritas falling from the sky. But it never is...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wintry mix has gravel all up in it. I never think of it falling from the sky, just the mess it makes when it lands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just glad you people understand me.

I don't want to go to my meeting. My accomplishments for the year? Not killing every single last one of them for the way I got treated post-layoff shuffle. Not killing backup coworker for at the last minute taking time off, forcing me to train yet another person a week before I was to be gone. Not killing the people in the xxxxx's office for their screwy instructions, or rather lack of, that had people yelling at me from all over the planet for something that was not my fault.

I sense a theme.

So you're saying that going into the meeting with a machete and saying, "See, not a drop of blood on it!" wouldn't be the right approach?


sarameg - Dec 05, 2005 9:53:51 am PST #9435 of 10006

I'm guessing no.

It's rather distressing.

Maybe I'll have a coughing fit!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Snow has started in DC. Doesn't look like it's sticking yet, but I'm on the 8th floor.
