I am officially the last person on the floor. I'm waiting for one (nonwork but using work equipment) thing to finish encoding, and then I am GONE.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Alas for no early release here. At least I have vaguely interesting work to do for the rest of the afternoon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Didn't you say you were working Sunday?
I am bored. Work is boring me, the internet is boring me, and while boring is one of my goals these days, I find that comfortable goes very well with bored, and I'm not very that.

I will be in for an hour on Sunday morning, yes.
ita, you should go home, lay down in the cuddle, have some tea, and watch pretty boys on tv.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
ita, I think the coast is clear.
Getting Monday off was also a surprise to me. But I already filled it up again since I'm going to work at Down Home Music doing inventory for barter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not to reopen old wounds, but... from a Seattle Times staff columnist:
As I look back at the year in news, it's clear I should have focused more on people having sex with horses.
That's the conclusion I reach after reviewing a new list of the year's top local news stories. Only this list is not the usual tedious recounting by news editors or pundits who profess to speak for you readers. This is the people's-choice list.
It's not a survey of what news you say you read.
It's what you actually read.
By tallying clicks on our Web site, we now chart the most read stories in the online edition of The Seattle Times. Software then sorts the tens of thousands of stories for 2005 and ranks them. Not by importance, impact or poetic lyricism, but by which stories compelled the most people to put finger to mouse, click, open and, presumably, read.
Which brings me back to sex with horses. The story last summer about the man who died from a perforated colon while having sex with a horse in Enumclaw was by far the year's most read article.
The rest of the article is pretty interesting and funny....

We're always allotted a set number of holidays, which we get no matter where the actual date falls. This year brought me a 4 day weekend for christmas and a 3 day for new years, which was nice. I hate the times it is a random day in the middle of the week.

Prison Yo. I haven't seen TNG, Yo, which is what this spoof is based on, but it's pretty funny in its own right.
I'm thinking I may bail at 1.
