today is National Cheeseburger Day!
I'm totally having a cheeseburger for dinner in celebration!! OK, I would have had a cheeseburger for dinner anyway, before I even knew, but still.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cause he's adorable?
Cause he's Hot Lunch.

Still have the plague. Spent an hour on a conference call this morning trying to understand a PPT presentation on our new benefits for 2008.

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
I keep googling like a mad woman for you, Kat.
What about an ad on Craigslist?
I know it's short notice to be checking references and such. But maybe?
I don't know if I can get Friday to take care of Noah, what hours do you need?

If there is a crazy person within about square mile of me, they tend to find me and strike up a conversation. People have witnessed this many times. It's like a superpower, only, well, one that sucks.
Ah, one of the great joys in life is that my invisibility to waiters and hostesses reverses itself in the presence of a muttering schizophrenic homeless person or junkie panhandler. You can watch their heads pop up and turn toward me as I walk by like dogs hearing an ultrasonic whistle.

Our wings are not tired
Matt, we should never travel together, there would be crazy people from other countries hijacking planes to come and talk to us.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Although this pales in comparision to kat's problem, I just found out that I am going to have to answer big boss's phone, two other people's phones, and take care of their calendar's while someone is on maternity leave. I don't even answer my direct boss's phone. I took this job to get out of the phone answering biz. Since I can't answer any questions, can't it just go to voicemail if they are out?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Matt, we should never travel together, there would be crazy people from other countries hijacking planes to come and talk to us.
OTOH, all the rest of us should sync up our schedules with you too so that we can fly in perfect peace.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Kat, I am so sorry that the childcare fell through. Crossing my fingers that it gets resolved soon.
I can be quite gregarious, but within a defined situation. Bars? No problem, I can talk to anyone. Transactions, like chatting with the cashier or taxi driver? Quite easy. Passing each other in the apartment building hallway? A cinch. I don't even mind when people come and talk to me while I'm washing or working on my bike (which happens a lot). But randomly chatting in the street/store/bus? Kind of awkward, unless one or the other has a place to be and it's a short convo.
