When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was all set up to come home and complain about my first (real) day of work, and how my new shoes gave me blisters, and it took half of the day for me to be able to log on, and how the computer didn't have fucking WORD installed on it, and how I still don't have LAN or internet access. (P.S. SO BORED.)

But I have arrived home to the news that my credit card has apparently been "compromised", and the credit card company is closing it and issuing a new one. Did they call me to tell me? No, I had to find out when the mail order pharmacy called me to tell me my card bounced.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I read the article but didn't retain much of it.

ION, some wonderful person has made a compilation vid of the Babies Eating Lemons tagged videos on YouTube. LOVE.

Speaking of babies, mine is 2 months old today!

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

Emaill stress slowing workers down.

It might be my job, but the idea of only checking my email every fifteen minutes means I'd not get much done. And if everything urgent came over the phone I'd probably stop answering it, or at least start panicking when it went off.

Hell, I have a dual monitor setup and most of the left monitor is Outlook. Plus I have the transparent alert that pops up with the sender and first little bit of the message just in case.

I have a Blackberry for work, so it's definite that I'm supposed to be reachable. We don't get dinged for answering emails in meetings as long as we're not disturbing the discussion or missing huge bits.

I need to get a friend to let me feed her daughter lemons NOW.

Cute boy, Jessica.

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

Cute baby!

The status is NOT quo.

Jess, he's adorable. Congrats on having a two-month old!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I agree that the response is short, sweet and adequate.

I've also read the haterz and seem distrubed that this guy's flist seem to be judging the entire book just based on his posted review. Oh, well, their loss. (I suspect some of them were bronze haterz in general, though).

It's disturbing to find an autocrat kind of sexy: [link]

OK, my tutee needs to get home soon or she's gonna miss her opportunity for tutoring tonight. She can be really loosey-goosey with times (even when I am explicit with her as I was last night,) but tomorrow is going to be a bit early and stressful for me and I need the time tonight, even if it is just to read over stuff and start screaming.
