Thanks! Sara, I get why you are at work. I like to save my sick days for days where I can go do things. If I'm actually miserable and sick I'd rather be miserable and sick at work than waste a good sick day staying at home.

Jars, how does one actually get to the ass end of nowhere?
You drive north across the border and then stop when you hit the 'Murder Triangle'. Oh how I wish that were a a joke...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
More about the life of the astronaut: [link]
[her family] described Nowak as devoted to her three children, and added that a few weeks ago she had separated from her husband, Richard, of 19 years.
Greg Dunston, Nowak's track coach at Charles W. Woodward High School in Rockville, Md., said she was a bright, driven honors student -- and always focused on her dream of being an astronaut.
"It seems so out of character," said Dunston, echoing her family's sentiment. "She's such a warm person to be around -- caring, always smiling."
And disciplined, too.
"If she had a bad day," Dunston said, "she would talk herself out of it."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I get why Sara is at work, but I just fell asleep while sitting in front of the tv with a cup of coffee in my hand, then woke myself up coughing, so now I am wondering about myself.

How did you manage to not spill the coffee?

Becoming a psychic is tough, better to start with psychotic and work your way up.
See, I started with psychotic and I'm clawing my way down the DSM-IV.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
See, I started with psychotic and I'm clawing my way down the DSM-IV.
I think that might be called "maturing", although I hate to use such a dirty word. Or it's just the pallative effects of coffee and gay porn.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My boss told me this morning to Drop Everything and work on this Very Important Problem and get him some numbers by the end of the day.
Now it's 90 minutes later, and I'm done. Now I'm trying to figure out how long I should goof off and wait to send the results to my boss, to make it seem like the problem I was working on was a lot harder than it really was.
