You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Mine must have whipped cream and chopped nuts today.

Brains are neato! No wonder zombies like 'em so much.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ailleann needs this in a bad way.

kat, sorry your mom went all agnsty on you.

Fish link freaky.

Granted, I stayed up far too late last night, but today's people seem to be either so staggeringly stupid that I can't be bothered to mock them for it, or their requests are so incredibly labyrinthine that I can't freaking parse them. I'm only halfway down my coffee cup, and I'm already grabbing the monitor and growling, "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER."

I'm making a bracelet that says, "What Would shrift Do?"

Kat, I'm sorry your mother doesn't know her place in the world is now adoring grandmother and not troubled teen. Also, David Quammen rocks. Song of the Dodo is one of my go-to books when I need to disappear for 1/2 an hour because I can pick it up, open it to any section and find that it's (still) interesting and well written.

The whole staff is grumpy because the U President often gives folks the afternoon off before a holiday break but it's now past noon and looks like we'll all just have to settle for our 5 day weekend.

I can't even.

Damn, and I thought my diamond shoes were pinchy today. I'm the one in our unit who has volunteered to _only_ take a four-day weekend. Yes, I know. Big damned hero. I'm guessing Tuesday will be a ghost town around here, so crazy like a coyote, really.

Ann, that's a ferret.

John, agreed. Especially if it means you get to take another day off later. I use the same logic for the Friday after Thanksgiving.

5 day weekend!!

In defense of Mom, her feelings are hurt and all of the stuff I'm dealing with (feeling like I can't do anything useful, there is no control etc) must be compounded by two for her. I'm not her little girl anymore and she can neither fix my stuff nor her grandchildren's.

Anybody else read that last part as "extra droppings"?

Just me then, huh.
