Ah, mine only screamed while there was pressure on it. So leaping out of the chair stopped the screaming.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have no idea what I am going to have for dinner. Maybe veggie buffalo wings.
I can't decide what I'm going to have either. Maybe teriyaki squid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
No, that was how it worked. My guests were less prone to leaping and just looked around quizzically.

How the heck can it not even be 3:00 yet?
'Cuz you live in the wrong timezone.
I was getting all excited that I could leave soon, then I remembered that I came in an hour late this morning so I still have to stay another hour now....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I left the lab once, for what they so cutely call a biobreak. Just once. I've been asked to understand all sorts of new things (on the fun side I've googled standard experiment lab report formats, in which I'll present the results of two of the tests we ran today. With pictures) at speed and no groundwork. It's Friday! And I need to cancel a meeting with a guy with whom I've been power-shoving with all week.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Steph!
We got a Save The Date card for a Bat Mitzvah in the mail today. The mind boggles...

Save the date cards assume you don't have the details, right? Like, say, location? A friend insisted on sending out save the date text messages, but I told her I'd be ignoring her until the actual evite. And lo'n'behold, the dates kept changing until the evite went out.
Silly rabbit.
Also, people should reply to evites. It's only polite.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
SO. BORED.
I've already have my time sheets for the week entered, and I've even resorted to texting people.

Yes, they really should.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, people should reply to evites. It's only polite.
God, yes. I feel a little bad that I never changed my "maybe" for a thing I'm not going to tonight, but at least I said that!

Save the date thingummies?
The con call people are discussing relative weather hazards. Dust storms sound horrible.
I shouldn't be here. My writeup skiving should be dedicated to my status report which is already ten minutes overdue.
