Fedex is not good with international shipping. I've found DHL to be much more reliable, except no US companies have DHL accounts.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What is even happening?
I think the chocolate Jesus statue is offensive (in a petty way, and not because he's nude -- because Jesus probably was nude on the cross) and I don't think it's at all comparable to communion, and rolled my eyes a little at that comparison. But I also think this is a tempest in a teapot. I hope I wouldn't do/haven't done anything that tacky, petty, or disrespectful of another religion, but a lot of people do a lot of things I don't do. I'm glad both that they're free to do things that don't hurt anyone (and this doesn't -- it's just tacky-petty), and that when they do them it isn't an invitation to violence. Art I find icky is not persecution.

Breakfast this morning was asparagus and swiss omelet.
That sounds astoundingly good. More appealing than chocolate Jesus, at the moment.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
so, the two online apps I use to do the core of my job are down. I am about to start typing in meeting notes from a spiral notebook just to keep busy.

Yeah, unfortunately, I dunno if we are allowed to use DHL. We used to, but I haven't seen one of their guys here in ages.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Nuh-uh. They were called Testa-mints.
Oop - you're correct. I saw a picture of the Testa-mints up at one his fan sites.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nuh-uh. They were called Testa-mints.
That is correct. I love those things! They're like Velamints, only awesome.
OMG, my boss's new assistant is going to be the death of me. For one thing, she constantly walks into my office and directly around to my side of the desk. I have it set up barrier-formation on purpose! For another thing, she asks me to help her with something and then follows up ten minutes later to see if I've done it. Sheesh! It's good that she's so aggressive with our boss, but she could totally leave me alone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Waits performed "Chocolate Jesus" on Letterman. I think that's where I heard the Testa-mints story.
It's funny/cool how big a Tom Waits fan David Letterman is....

I thought I remembered that my ex-BiL sells something like Testa-mints, but apparently not. He does sell Atonemints and similar.

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.
How's the GF doing, Kalshane?
She's doing alright, all things considered. She was diagnosed with gestational diabeties, so in addition to everything else she's got to jab herself in the finger several times a day and watch her diet. However, diet has been keeping it under control, the baby itself is fine and at our last appointment the physician I dubbed "Dr. Doom and Gloom" (due to him constantly harping on everything that could possibly go wrong) was actually very positive, so things could be worse.
Next week is going to be odd, as I've been unemployed the entire time she's been living here, so we're both used to spending the whole day together, barring interviews and whatnot.
