I'm sad I missed all the Natter threads.
Also, I seem to be eating the world!

The Crying of Natter 49
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.

I'm getting the pig!
Wait--so one of the twins will be named Clementine?
This is what I get for working so damn hard and not keeping up in Natter. The last Natter, anyway. I was so utterly confused that I had to skim 48 to find out what was going on. In light of that:
Congratulations to Kat and Lori!!! That's wonderful news!
And also, belated Birthday Happies, shrift! And current Happy Birthday wishes to ita!
I seriously need a pause button for the invisible internet people. Or work. Yeah, a pause button for work. That's a much better plan.

Ann, that's a ferret.

If so, I suggest that the other one (if a girl) be named Tangerine. Then we'll hope that she is all they claim.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I wasn't paying quite enough attention to the end of CSI. Was that a box coming in to Grissom implying another miniature murder?

I'll let you know if no one else doesn't tomorrow when I watch the tape.
99% of the time I prefer living alone. The other one percent is made up of toilet paper fetching, heimliching oneself on the chair and falling in the bathtub in a freak accident.
Stupid tp gnomes.

sarameg, I solved that problem by keeping the tp package within arm's reach. Of course, my bathroom is about two arm reaches square, so I may not be a good example.
Falling in or while getting out of tub = scares the crap out of me.

Poor Sara. She's living in that one episode of 30 Rock that I've now seen twice. Of three episodes ever.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sorry to be late with the sympathy, Kalshane. That really does suck, but then we've known your employer is run by asshats, or worse, clueless asshats.
I wasn't necessarily looking for sympathy (okay, maybe a little) but mostly just looking to vent. Though I will say it's not the company that's suffering from asshats-in-charge, so much as my department and Corp HR. Things are still going swimmingly for everyone else.
Like the asshat that called my project lead at 3:05 PM last Friday -- we were closing at 3 for the holiday BTW -- and demanded that somebody be called in out of vacation to prepare something for him.
Oy. Not cool. Got to love the folks who think the world revolves around them.
I am so looking forward to moving to the new schedule next week. Back to 40 hours a week and no wierd voodoo with our paychecks to make 45 hours act like 40 that always goes wrong. Working noon to 10:30 won't be terrific, but I can deal with having something resembling a weekend again, even if I have to work Sundays.
Of course, I have to survive my annual review tomorrow first.
ION, this essay about partisan-ism and hate on both sides is some interesting food for thought: [link]
