This morning I remembered I scheduled the handyman to come in on Saturday, so I have to be here. I emailed management to say I would work a half-day today, and got an email back from my boss telling me I was "the best." Woo Hoo, out at noon AND I am the best.
one more hour and I am off for an exciting afternoon of dying my hair and watching Deadwood DVDs!
Someone just gave me a box of Girl Scout cookies for free. Life is good.
Dammit - once police cars get to where they're going, they don't need the sirens, right?
There's three cop cars sitting on the street about 20 feet from my office, and at least two of them still have their sirens on.
That could be a bad sign, tommyrot -- as in, the cops are way too busy to go back to their cars and turn off the sirens....
At the risk of being an attention whore -- at least I always feel like that when I post a link -- pictures of my new glasses with me in them. (Very work safe rated, honest.)
Police have turned off their sirens and gone away. I heard some loud voices too, but I couldn't figure out what was going on. There was a large group (30-40) of teenagers on the sidewalk and the police made them disperse. (We're about 3 blocks away from a high school.)
eta: Those are nice glasses, Theo....
So, a good friend just won a fellowship at the "Museum of Jurassic Technology."
From what I hear, that's teh awesome.

I hate IVR. I don't want to chat with a computer that can't actually chat with me. I don't want to repeatedly say key words into the handset. But it does deflect from the "how do I get to a person?" issue, as I panic trying to get back to the keypad menu.
I don't want to repeatedly say key words into the handset.
I hate doing that. Not really sure why, other than it feels lame....
I am ita and tommyrot. I feel like a complete doof sitting there enunciating various words and/or numbers into the phone.
