remember that time there was a mouse in my kitchen last year?
Heh. I love that you put on rat music before the removal....
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
P-C, you handled that FAR batter than I would have.
I would have had a stroke and collapsed.

Sox, I'm so sorry. And yes, amych and Sparky are probably right.
I know that at some point I need to realise that dressing to entertain six year olds is NOT the way to go; that one can, indeed, have too many sequins, that ruby slippers are not the norm, and that using chocolate perfume is not neccesarily the most grown up of choices.
Fay! Have I taught you nothing? I'm wearing (among other things) black glittery shoes and a top hat with pink and black roses. AND perfume that smells like chocolate and cupcakes. Dress to entertain yourself and the six year olds.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love that you put on rat music before the removal....
It really, really helped. It's hard to do something like that in complete silence!

Well, I was lucky I had a friend there. I don't know how well I would have handled it had I been alone. I mean, a dead rat is certainly less of a problem than a live one, but I still would have been at a loss.

When I was a kid, our old house had a room we called the attic (even though it was just an unused room on the second floor). The attic had a single light in it that hung from ceiling in the middle of the room, and the only switch was on the light itself. So at night to turn the light on I'd just walk forward in complete darkness swinging my arms back and forth in front of me until I found the light.
One time I did this and turned on the light to find a rat the size of a cat staring at me five feet away. Then it slowly turned and walked away.
When we tore down that old house, my mom said she wanted to stay home from work that day to watch the rats flee.

Oh, hey, this is cool. I think I can stop worrying about boss problems, because I just got this in an email from her:
I just wanted you to know that I think you are doing a terrific job and that you are very much appreciated. I also see your dedication and how hard you are working.
Not knowing how you like to receive praise, and knowing that you are private person, I thought I would start this way. I would also be happy to acknowledge you in public, if you would be comfortable with that. Would you mind letting me know?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so glad to hear it, Susan -- I've been keeping my fingers crossed for you that all those frustrations you were having were a result of her still trying to work out how to work with you, rather than her not being bothered to do so.

No one has ever asked me how I like to receive praise.
Anyway, that's a real cool email.

Plei, sorry to hear about your aunt.
Sox, sorry to hear about your DH's Aunt as well

My favorite part about "The La Brea Tar Pits" is that that phrase actually translates to, "the the tar tar pits".
Bit like "Picacho Peak" is Peak Peak.Or how about the rechristened Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (aka the Angels Angels of Anaheim).
So yesterday, got home from work around 9 (stupid dinner function had to attend). Sat down, watched news while IM'ing with a friend back east... and fell asleep on the couch by 11.30. Got up, and was fast asleep in bed before midnight. Yup, the time difference from trip to FLA still kicking in. I'm not fighting it tho. I actually showed up at work before my boss today, and thusly gave him a hard time about it.
KT, sorry I missed the snuggle-fest with you last night, I offer a belated version. How long is ND away for? Ya need some company Friday-Sunday?
