That picture is hilarious! As are many of the previous ones.
I don't know about being stuck inside, but I sure wish I wasn't at work! Stupid work. I just want to bang on the drum all day!
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Rain = stuck inside = cranky baby = tired mama.
I hear ya! It's pissing rain here--enough that I don't want to take the kids outside, even to go to the gym. If it clears up later, we'll go but for now, Owen's watching a very annoying kids' show and Olivia is playing with cookie sheets.
Vampire baby is CUTE. One of the perks of having a kid is amusing yourself by taking funny pictures.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ugh. I've been at work for 20 minutes, and there's an email conversation from last night that I don't want to read, and a voicemail message that I don't want to hear.
And now the person I don't want to deal with this morning has just walked in. I suspect he'll be coming over to my cube soon.

Scola, you need to make a camouflage cubicle curtain with an empty chair.

Ann, that's a ferret.
With all this pronounciation discussion, I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that there's no such place as New Or-LEENZ. Or-LEENZ Parish, yes. But the city is New OR-lunz, New (or N') AW-lunz, or (for the old school) New OR-lee-unz.
Oh, and I also have only ever heard WAW-keh-shaw for the town where I had my first job.

It's a pretty useful Yankee detector.

That is so awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Somehow, even after I lived there for four years, no one in my family can pronounce New Orleans properly. They all either say New Or-LEENZ or a clearly-jokey N'Awlins. I don't know what's so difficult about New OR-linz, but none of them can remember it.

Hey, Dana, I might be in Houston for work in October, FYI.
