Tomorrow will be 0m 2s longer.

YAY!

Tomorrow will be 0m 2s longer.

That will vary - the further North (of the equator) you are, the more you'll gain.

I plan on using my extra two seconds to scratch my butt....

Blessed Solstice to all! Also YAY BRENDA! Congrats!

ND and I are just galumphing out of bed and considering actually beginning our day. I decree that that beginning must include coffee.

How is everyone today?

Happy Solstice...and as the sun returns, may all your days be warmer and brighter in light and spirit!

I'm gearing up to go give notice today. Not looking forward to that conversation.

Are you going to do the "Giving Notice" dance?

Oh, Brenda, I know that tension. May your notice go as well as mine has. Seriously. It has been much better than I ever expected.

Yesterday Boss sent me an email asking me to do something he'd explicitly demanded I NOT do last week...and another thing that he shouldn't have...and ended the message with 'having you around reassures me.' Passive aggressive and oh, so ineffective.

But, since we are on 'notice time', all I did was smile.

One of my coworkers just bought a $3000 cellphone. [link] OK, $2500. And he claims he got it for $1500. I get crabby if I have to pay for a cellphone. Clearly I am losing my techgeek cred.

I see the craxy expensive phone, I think "birth control pills".

And if they're going to do a circular key pad they put the numbers where they were on dial phones since latent muscle memory would drive me (and probably anyone older than 30) nuts trying to dial that thing.

I'm going to need some self-control today to not kill the caro sposo before Christmas. Last minute stress and lack of getting stuff done is making my head explode.

I completely blanked on my pelvic ultrasound today. So I rescheduled for next Friday. Late enough in the day I won't have to go back to work.

Now if I can only remember next week.

Cashmere, just remember if you kill him he can't help with the kid wrangling.

(KP International) – Mark Ivanir recently revealed that his Good Shepherd costar, Matt Damon, saved his life while filming a torture scene.

Prior to shooting the scene in which Ivanir is held down, has his clothes cut off and has a burlap bag placed over his head while being drenched in freezing water, Damon decided to make up a mercy code, Us Weekly reported.

"Matt told me, 'We should have a warning sign if you feel like you're really in danger. You really could get hurt with that mask suffocating your face,'" Ivanir said. "Sure enough, if Matt hadn't thought of an alert to stop filming, I really would have passed out and died. It would have been great publicity for the film, but not so good for my career!" >[link]

On the one hand, where was the fight director? (or whomever it is that choreographs violence in films.)

On the other hand, I think Matt should give an interview on his obvious indepth knowledge of safe words. To me. Somewhere quiet. And maybe with candles. If he... likes candles.

good point, sj. I'll refrain. I'm also leaning towards letting some of the issues go. It won't do anyone any good if I'm stressed.

Must. Relax.

I just called in a sitter for this afternoon. She'll keep the kids so I can run some errands faster and easier.
