I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm halfway through the stack. I need a beer.

This sounds like a work-related expense. You should be able to submit an expense sheet on it--or would that just get to cyclical?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm hungry. I don't know what I want for lunch. Damn. Suggestions?

I'm going to Briazz and getting Jambalaya right now. I recommend any later lunchers doing the same.

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

So, just as I was about to leave for lunch, a client called - two employees were getting errors trying to enter their timesheets. So I went to lunch, came back, went into the system as the two employees and... everything worked.

So, I call client back and leave a message that I can't reproduce the problem. She calls me back saying they're not having the problem anymore - "Evidently, it fixed itself."

Moral of the story - Lunch is good.

I don't get to expense things, Calli! They'd have to unchain me from my desk first.

I have handed off my billing. I await many cranky phone calls from our billing dept. Now I have refreshed my work e-mail, which leads me to say: oy with the poodles, already.

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

Gah! Out of stock! I want those. Geek chic indeed.

Someone who sent a rampantly bitchy message to me earlier just wrote back all sweetness and light.

I'm choosing to hold a grudge.

It's making me really look forward to leaving them all in a lurch, which means I need to start job searching pronto.

And I just noticed my departing coworker left his little buddha. I'm putting him next to my penguin.

If I promise not to post about work anymore, will y'all come back to natter?

I could talk about cats!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We'll all come back when you give notice, shrift.

ION, thank DOG, half of my grandmother's lame Christmas present finally showed up. Good thing I had it sent to my parents' house, where she also lives.

Sweet, Nicole. Thanks.

Unrelatedly, I've decided I want my next date to take me the Hump restaurant. There is a problem with this. I mean, it's rude for me to want to pick where I'm taken.

It is possible that some might see the lack of anyone to go on a date with as a problem too. As to that I say...yeah, you got me there.

Still, I like the dream.
