I just got a really really nice letter from a librarian about my book.
Made my day.
The girl's not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck. She has a three.

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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
boss says work needed today was late due to one of my employees not being focused and having a sense of urgency.
I had one of those last week! While I was out, my minion got "in trouble" with our boss because of not getting something to her early enough for her to review it. Previous conversations have indicated a one-week lead time. Minion gave the document to boss a week ahead of time. Boss did not get it from her assistant and/or did not read it for four days. Whose fault is that??
Seriously.
Those are great write-ups, Daisy!
And ALSO, I had my first meeting with a career counselor tonight, and it was awesome. She is totally going to help me think of completely different kinds of work I could be doing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Okay, many yays today.
YAY for Mac's leg! YAY for Daisy's bars! YAY for Allyson's letter!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Everybody must get stoned....
So this guy decided to follow all 700 (or so) rules in the Bible, and then write a book about it. This bit from a Newsweek article amused me:
...and then there were the rules that were hard to do in modern life, like stoning adulterers. But I did manage to fulfill that one. What happened was, I was in the park, dressed in my white garb, and this man in his 70s came over and asked what I was doing. I explained I was trying to follow every rule in the Bible as literally as possible, including growing my beard, not mixing fibers, stoning adulterers, and he said, “I’m an adulterer, are you going to stone me?” I said, “Yeah that would be great.”

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just called the cab company to report service above and beyond. Good on him.
Congrats, paperdol!
Sure, sara. Where can I send you today?
Okay, naptime.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I posted something about it in Technology, but you all are aware that Stephen Fry is blogging, right?

I heard that book was awesome.

ita, to where you are now.
I just need to sit down, call the boarding place, put in for time off, try not to freak out over my job being weird, and fight with the internets to buy a ticket that doesn't have me sleeping in airports. I can do it, I just get strangely ridic about planning.
It's pouring outside. Very suddenly. I was seeing the moon 7 minutes ago. Weird.
Ugly Betty: I KNEW that was coming!! I was kinda disappointed in them at first and then stuff started adding up. Sad for the actor, but it needed to happen.
