And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wanted to change my name to just my middle & my married. My intent was to keep the heritage of my middle name, which is my paternal grandmother's name.

This is exactly what I did! Fortunately, my dad was fine with it too.

Okay. God. I'm heading over to the Secretary of State. I am keeping my expectations low, so anything better than the ninth circle of hell will be a pleasant experience.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Say you are in late stages of a stomach thing and you safely ate something for lunch. Wouldn't you assume the same thing would be safe for dinner?

Apparently you'd be a fool if you did.

Up all night. Oy. So tired.

Did NOT, however, get fired when I walked into work today so that's nice. The recruiter I sent the resume to responded already so that's nice too -- he's nearby and I'll be going by his office one morning this week.

The nice thing about my innards continuing to be delicate is that I get to eat all those nummy nummy simple carbs I am usually denied.

They're just about ALL I can eat, but you take your kicks where you can get them.

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

The temperature today will be in the low 60s. I went to work without a coat or jacket. In January. Weird.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So the cell phones are in the possession of police, but police can't look at what's on the phones without a warrant? Huh.

Yes, I would think that since it’s a medium that can be easily changed/destroyed, they grabbed it. We had to deal with that before when I worked for the judge, I remember a particularly long day in court going through the contents of a file cabinet.

Does anyone here believe that no one has looked at the contents of the phones?

I do. Fruit of the poisonous tree is no joke.

What's kind of awesome about the CFO is she was at the gym when she passed out. This is a 60-something, 5 kids, Orthodox woman. Working out!

See, this is why I don’t exercise.

If they're "known troublemakers" I wonder if the contents of the phone interest/denial of access has zip to do with the zoo.

Aaaand their system is down, so the universe is continuing to mock me with its monkey pants.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I managed to set my alarm clock an hour ahead last night , and didn't realize it this morning until I was up and dressed.

I think I'm safe in saying today is on the list.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

So this kid says to me, "I just don't feel like you ever really explain it. Like, when I ask you about something, you give this, like, weird answer, and I never really understand it." I'm very sorry that he feels this way and I'd be happy to set up a time to try to go over things more clearly, but... You know when I'm going to do absolutely nothing about these very serious problems? In the middle of a test.
