Looking for something to do on 9/11? How about going dove-hunting with Republicans? [link]

Thing is, if I just up and quit, I'll put one of my co-workers in the same position I'm in now, and I don't want to screw them over like that.

Or they'll realize that they can't just stick someone with something like that and reconsider how they decide to fill that position. Okay, probably not. But it could happen.

I know you'll do what you feel is right once the situation clarifies, but as someone in a really sucky job situation where if one of my equally fucked coworkers up and quit I'd be screwed, I'd still back them if they felt they had to go. Which, again, maybe not the same for everyone. Just don't rank your own fucked up situation behind theirs, is all I'm saying.

Well, a can of soda on the drive up, a cup of black tea upon arrival and finishing off another 20 ounce of soda and a couple cups of water seems to have gotten rid of most of my headache and demushed my brain somewhat. I almost feel like I can think coherently and may even be able to do some troubleshooting should someone actually call again. (I did have a couple calls tonight, surprisingly enough. One I had to call the tech who had setup the device on because I just couldn't make sense of what the user was saying, and the other was one of those magical talking to the it guy made it start working again sort of deals.)

::nods:: I understand. And I'm sure my co-workers would understand if I up and left, considering. But the fact that they would be understanding makes me less-inclined to do it, if that makes any sense.

Oh, right. Harry Dresden. I didn't make that connection, I guess I just think of him as Dresden.

Yeah. And really, Bolshevik Muppet is a lot of fun to say, so it wins points there as well.

ION, package is open. Cupcakes not as good as remembered, but still good.

Python swallows sheep, then can't crawl off the road: [link]

The picture is weird - is that one of the sheep's feet sticking out of the python's mouth?

Glow in the dark bubble bath

Can't tell about the feet, but you reminded me another picture...off to see if I can find it somewhere.

Got it: Snake wash

Wierdness. I have a lost and/or injured pigeon. I never see pigeons around here, but this one was hopping around my pool area. It has a red tie wrap on one foot and a band with writing on the other foot.

DH convinced it to hop into a kitty cage so I can take it to an animal shelter tomorrow. With the number of cats we have around it would not live the night outside. I put some water and croutons in the cage. I don't have bird seed.

Have no clue how it managed to find my house or where it came from.

Oh, that is just the cutest picture ever. That doesn't involve kittens. Or puppies.

I don't think so. The weirdness on the right side of its jaw matches the weirdness on the left side of its jaw. I think they're both just... its jaw.

While I was trying to figure it out, I came upon this photo of a python's open mouth, which doesn't clarify much but it's too creepy not to share. [link]

And this shows a python skull with the mouth open. [link] So the bottom jaw isn't... connected. Which is freaky! Er, and so I think the two halves of the jaw are still all stretched out and funny-looking in the photo.

Laura, that's very odd. I admire your patience in not trying to read whatever's on the band. (Do you think it's carrying microfilm? You should tell us it was carrying microfilm.)
