Argh. (a) Why am I so tired? (b) Why didn't I do any work yesterday? Because now I have a ton to do and also a ton of meetings to both attend and prep for.
Argh.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, more building shenanigans! Fire up above! Floors destroyed by water damage! Personnel on those floors congregating in our lunch room! Bathroom on our floor blocked off by caution tape! I am drinking coffee and eventually I will need to find a toilet!
Must be Tuesday.

shrift, your job, and getting to it, is awfully hazardous.
I hate it when people print out hundreds of pages of documentation on the network printers in the middle of the day. Do that at night or really early! Or use the volume printers in the copy room!
Ahrg. Always the same person, too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dang, I can't believe we've got katefate again and I missed her!
Calla, as Hec pointed out, he did not get his tuxedo until two days prior to the wedding. And it must be admitted that it worked out beautifully and he looked incredibly sharp and styling and it totally didn't matter that it all happened two days prior to the wedding.
Are billytea and I the only two people on the planet who don't wish they'd eloped? Looking back on the wedding planning, I really really wish my dad hadn't gotten all up in our business about every freaking little thing, but it turned out to be completely worth it. I wouldn't mind doing it again, just to fix a few last things (red bridesmaid dresses, kid-inclusive, use the several years of experience and wisdom I've since gained to make my dad stop being all up in our business, and, most importantly, BIGGER CAKE). But, overall, so worth it.

Oh, crap. She just got the remote and turned the TV on. Must go now.

I think it's the universe's way of making life interesting for me because my job is so deeply, yawnfully, excruciatingly boring.
Either that, or I'm manifesting powers as a firestarter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fish that feed on dead skin cells are a nice spa treatment
Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed Chinchin Yu, nibble fish or simply doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are naturally used for the treatment of skin diseases in such spas. When placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won't hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin.

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
That sounds sort of awesome.

Oh, this is just so damned adorable!!!!
So it wouldn't count as shirking off at work if I went out to run some personal errands AND stopped to get my work mail from the UPS store at the same time, right? Because I have to get that mail anyway, and I need to get ice and napkins for my book club party tonight.
