How come "pulchritude" means beautiful and looks so ugly? Of course you could say the same of "orgasm" or "masturbation" I suppose...well, you probably have too much to do, but somebody could.

I should have some willpower, but I'll have the dark chocolate covered pretzels instead.

pretzels = waaaay tastier

Laura, I'm glad you and Bobby both came through (I swear, every medical procedure I've ever had has been harder on my mother - Queen of All Worriers - than it has been for me).

Steph, I wish visible rashes on your lunch thief, and uncomfortable itching in embarrassing places to the ones who mocked you after the fact.

Cash & sj - both look awesome.

ChiKat - best of both worlds-ma for your workplace.

In meme news, I'm currently stuck covering for the receptionist, who is getting dental surgery. I usually don't mind much, because I don't get stuck with it very often, but I currently have people breathing down my neck on three or so largeish projects, and I just can't accomplish as much from the lobby. Bleh. Ah well, deadlines, schmedlines.

Karl, you are too, too kind.

Bwah!

Epic, I'ma gonna hafta lump you in with all the other enablers. It's quite an exclusive group. Hiss!Boo! to the deadlines that ignore the fact that you're stuck in the lobby.

Laura, I'm glad Bobby's surgery went well.

They offered her 40 months in jail which she turned down, so the grand jury hearing is set for in a couple of weeks.

I'm sure she's hoping for a better deal. Most of these cases do eventually plead--some right up until the trial is ready to go with seated juries and everything. She'd be pretty stupid to go to trial, if you ask me. I hope you can get all the credit stuff sorted. It's like being victimized again and again as they continue to come in.

Cool, I've been lumped in with some darn good company.

At least the lobby has Internet Access.

I don't even need an outside enabler.

I think part of her sentence should be having to fix the mess she left. Having to call companies up and say "Hi. I'm Felony Chick. I (gamble, have a glue problem, whatever) and I can't stay out of other people's things. So I have to be on hold and admit I'm not ChiKat." It could take her *forever* Yeah, Cindy, bucolic, definitely.

Great news, vw! Laura, I'm glad the surgery went well.

Office lunch thieves are the scum of the earth. May your thief be covered with pustules the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and may they suffer such horrible itching that they are constantly scratching and bursting them.

Hours still very turned around. I didn't sleep well last night either. When I woke up I almost walked around the house naked for a while but I decided on the off chance that a construction dude would come by that I'd put on a robe. Good thing because the landscaper came by. So I was at the front door talking to him (he wouldn't enter the house without his dog coming with him and I didn't want a dog in the house) in a purple terry cloth robe and polar fleece booties. Glamor am me.

Nationwide Insurance is selling identity theft insurance at a reasonable rate. I think we're going to buy some. I hope they do the crap work involving contacting the creditors.

I definitely wish an appropriate punishment on ChiKat's nemesis. Hopefully she'll remain stubborn and stupid enough to go through trial and get her ass handed to her. ChiKat, is there any way you can let the prosecution add the continued fallout to the damages? I think the amount of shit you're having to go through fixing your credit record should definitely be considered by judge and jury in coming up with a sentence.
