The VTC room next door to me is on hold, with Muzak being played EXTREMELY LOUDLY.
I'm off to the caf.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so not a pug person--I guess the beagle part is the part that makes him cute and not creep me out big time. I'm not sure how his looks map to the 'dillo, but he's hella cute.
I was listening to a radio report about this climber/hiker who fell and broker her hip and after a couple days her dog went for help. I loved how she sounded. "I think he knew something was wrong. After a while I told him to go get help not expecting anything because, after all, he's just a dog. But he went and came back with help."
I'm still uber-pragmatic when it comes to pets, but I definitely have space to accept that a dog may sometimes get it above and beyond training (our dogs were never trained, but knew to come when they were called by name, and to attack on command). She sounded so...surprised, grateful, and incredibly appreciative.
And then I read stuff on dailypuppy (okay, skewed sample data) about a dog being the love of someone's life, and I just don't get it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
A friend of mine just got back from her ultrasound.
Her "80% probably a boy"? It's a girl.
I've suggested they name her Lola. Or possibly Trixie.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I will not flip out like a mammal and kill everyone. I will not.
I've spent, um, most of the day reading about fanlib. That probably wasn't the wisest move.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What's your take on the fanlib thing, Dana?
I mean, it's creeping me out, big time. But do you think they don't quite get it? It seems like they're almost purposefully tripping over every single rule of netiquette regarding fic and fandom, seriously.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I, meanwhile, am not allowed to beat the children. It's storming out, and I hope the power goes out so we can go home.
Yeah, Dana, that'll make a Monday worse. I was looking at the ads, and, well, they confuse me, and, as we all know, confusion leads to anger and anger leads to...um...

Colorado is one of the remaining states where you ARE allowed to beat the children. Just FYI.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think it's a school rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I will not flip out like a mammal and kill everyone. I will not.
God, me neither.
I am seriously starting to regret my pledge to myself to come to work every work day in May.
