Very ingenious. I'd never thought of applying that to gifts before!
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Is it ever a good thing when the really big boss flies in unexpectedly and unannounced? (And we are fed. gov. so there are no Christmas bonuses or anything.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sorry, Stephanie, I can't help. I've always been HQ, so big bosses can swoop in just by getting on the elevator.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think I might want a potato.

What do I want for lunch?
Mashed potatoes?
I had some yesterday at the holiday lunch our work landlords threw. And the day before at dinner at french restaurant (underneath the most savory and delicious duck confit...suddenly I love duck!). Now my body thinks I should have them EVERY DAY!
Instead I will have leftover mac & cheese w/ spinach & raw carrots. and a clementine. and some yogurt.
ETA
I think I might want a potato.
BWAH!

lisah wins! Though not mashed. But I will mash it up in the process of eating it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A blogger described this as "probably the best short film about an evil floating head you will see this year." Which I think is true.

Timelies. I spent the weekend getting basically nothing accomplished I wanted to (apart from laundry) and was out sick yesterday feeling like death-warmed-over. I feel closer to fresh death today, so I made it in to work.

I could do that. But that would entail borrowing the company car and driving to downtown Evanston. Maybe I'll just be lazy and get a roast beef sandwich on croissant at the nearby lefty cafe.
