I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

My very cute waiter, I hasten to point out. I also took a clearer picure of the funky ceiling lights.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That picture of the waiter looks Lee Pacish. Can I have him?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ack! I don't usually post about terrifying articles, but I have a visceral reaction to torture and to the idea that my country tortures its prisoners. Turns out another torture center has been uncovered.

Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, now Bagram. It makes me angry. I'm just sharing so that others know about it too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sorry.

S'alright. Not your fault the person I was emailing had two first names, instead of a first name and a last name, like most folks, or that I called him by the second first name.

I stole an Aero chair when I first started here, even though people in my wing weren't supposed to have them at the time, and I dragged it with me whenever I changed offices.

When I was at KPMG, all the staff had Aero chairs. But they'd remodelled the offices for Sr. Managers and Partners with very nice wood desks - which the arms on the Aero chairs were high enough to damage. So the higher-ups had to go back to the crappy chairs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My back was hurting so bad I was considering buying an Aero for myself, even though that is so much money. But now I have to figure out how to configure this thing.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I am getting a new work chair!

I don't remember the name of my chair, but it's from the same company. I had no idea how bad my back problems were until they mostly went away with my chair. I've been thinking about getting another one for home, except, yeah, expensive. It was pricey enough for my employer, and they got the sooper-special-discount for buying lotsa, lotsa chairs.

So sorry you didn't make it out in time, Lee. I did warn you!

Yeah, good luck with that. It's worse than Tivo.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I want an aero for school. Just because it would improve my day.

My PCP is good in that he has "premium appointments" for day-of sickos who need an appointment right now. No mono yet, but he refused to do a blood test. I kept thinking "Dr. House would do it for me." Maybe. Or maybe not because he hates his clinic patients.

Irrespective, I'm sure I could get some fictitious doc to do it for me. K's PCP who is in the same practice as mine and whom she has never seen actually took her phone call and talked to her for about 5-10 minutes today. Crazy.

Sounds like a pretty good practice, even if they don't want to play vampire yet.

Every single mammal in the apartment is sneezing. I'm pretty sure it's related to having the windows open 24/7. Or 24/14. Whichever. In any case, cats dealing with snot is a little gross. They don't exactly use a kleenex.
