It's supposed to hit 103 today. Again. BAD AND WRONG!
The bad news is, it's also been 80 degrees in my office all week, and the HVAC people can't seem to FIX IT.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, this one!!! It's like he can't decide if he's hiding or climbing -- so cute!
I celebrated Dylan turning 8 weeks old today by checking out a new baby consignment shop in Williamsburg and I scored a used Ergo for $70. SO much more comfortable than the Bjorn or the sling! Bye bye back pain! I put it on and it was like he was suddenly 10 lbs lighter, which is impressive considering he only weighs 12.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad you're home, ita! Hospitals suck.
Thing is, the hospital room had this big long boom coming from over the head of the bed. At the end of the boom was a plasma screen and a keyboard and a phone handset.
I would never leave the house if I had this.
Science tattoos are cool. I liked the dividing-DNA-dragon-thingy the best.

Wow! Excellent shopping-fu, Jessica.
Somebody brought in lovely fudgy brownies. There are four b-day cards making the office rounds for signatures today. I'm guessing that the brownies are from one of the b-day folks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, flea. It's only 81 outside here, about about 62 in my office. Brrr!
Just wasted some time discussing a coworker who just (shockingly) quit. Huh.

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

So very.
Count me among the people who just aren't doing that whole work thing today.
I did however volunteer to do something that is fun and good, but is also going to force me to come in AGAIN tomorrow morning, and now I'm wondering if I can get out of it.

Can anyone give me an idea how much a taxi from O'Hare to downtown might cost? I'm doing my expense report, and I forgot to write that down.

Remember the incompetent student assistant? His incompetence has reached new levels. I just had to show him how to use the three hole punch because he couldn't figure it out. ugh.
I think it's time to set out a bowl of Prestone in your office and let natural selection deal with the problem.

I am reminded of my college friend who couldn't figure out the cheese grater. A box grater, nothing fancy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Google says $30-$40.
