An update from home:
Incidentally, Leif is apparently devising his own Contraption challenge.
I learned this because he was asking if he'd spelled "place" and
"another" correctly. When he asked how to spell "programmable" I went
over to see what he was doing. He was writing hints to help his victim
create the contraption. What he typed in front of me was, "Place another
programmable ball here"
Leif likes to play a computer game called "The Incredible Machine: Contraptions" and apparently has figured out how to create scenarios. And yes, he is still four.
Ugh. Now leaving work has been postponed until 4, because the blizzard "seems to have let up." Uhm. whole point is to
not
have us driving in the crap weather, not to wait until it's bad and then send us out.
I'm thinking, you might want to keep Leif off the internet. For our safety.
Only it came on a DST weekend, so in effect, there was a 23-hour 24-hour interruption of the uninterruptible power source.
Niiice.
I continue to be mad sleepy. Luckily, I should finish my book tonight, since it's definitely a big reason I haven't been getting enough sleep.
In other news about my job, we have a new employee coming on who has the same first and last name. And it's her married name. Apparently it really meant a lot to her husband that she take his last name. Enough that he saddled her with a RIDICULOUS NAME.
Now I'm guessing names.
Taylor Taylor
Christie Christie
Laurie Laurie
Mmm...the possibilities are endless.
Are they both spelled the same? (Just curious. .. Kelly Kelly; Kelly Kelley; Kellie Kelly - for some reason - that just springs to mind.)
Enough that he saddled her with a RIDICULOUS NAME.
Well, she accepted it, so it's not all his fault.
Both spelled the same! I will neither confirm nor deny if anyone guesses.
Also I was just talking to someone in my doorway, and he came around the other side of my desk before I remembered to minimize this window! Whoops.
Well, she accepted it, so it's not all his fault.
I'm trying not to think about that part, since she's going to be my coworker, because so far all I can think is "WTF??!??"

This could have been me-spelled differently-had my parents kept my supposed-to-be-a-boy-oh-well-let's-call-her-that-anyway name
