Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
So you can boss me, but I can't boss you!
Yep, cause I'm ornery like that. And, ummm, it all rolls down hill.
I have 20 minutes left at work and my brain has 100% shut down. I am debating over futzing around for 20 minutes and just plain leaving early. I came in late, so it seems appropriate.

Power-grid operators said demand for electricity was surging in other nearby states as well because of the hot weather. Electricity is shared across the West, so California's ability to import power on short notice during a widespread heat wave is limited.
The Stage Two emergency declaration was the first to be called in Northern California in at least four years. The emergency is an indication that reserve levels, which are supposed to be at least 7 percent of capacity, have dipped below 5 percent.
If the state still isn't able to save enough power, the next step will be rolling blackouts. Officials said such blackouts, which are imposed once reserves dip below 3 percent, could be called between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. today. Rolling blackouts are a way to prevent an uncontrolled crash of the power grid.
just shareing with the class...

tmi-whitefont: I seem to be following the trend of early Bitch periods this month. At least I know why I have felt so lousy the last couple of days.
