Things not to do at 4:30 on a holiday weekend

Try to get shit set up for Tuesday morning that has not been set up even though it was supposed to be, and realize that since Monday is a holiday and you are on the west coast, even though it's only noon your time, no one is in the office on the east coast, and there is no way in hell you are going to have access to the databases you need in time for your visit on tuesday?? Yehahhhhhh....

About to send off some CIOMS reports to Brazil.

Heh. I actually know what this means! Unlike all the crazy computer talk upthread. I'll bet javachick knows too. Go crazy drug company people, whoot!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I BSed enough at a wine tasting yesterday they offered me a job at the store.

Hee! That's great.

I can almost, almost remember the Riunite TV jingle from my childhood. Did it rhyme "on ice" and "so nice" or something equally awful?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is, in fact the Ruinite jingle.

I also remember "paul masson can sell no wine before its time" I think my recall of so many jingles and the fact that I say them a lot causes my students to think I am crazy. I often tell them "You're all doing very well" like young Mr Grace in Are you being served, but they have never seen it.

Also embarrassing is telling someone unfamiliar with the movie Babe "That'll do pig."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm sitting at the patio table in my backyard, listening to the happy sounds of work guys building me a new front stoop out front. They've been working since 7:30 this morning!

A few minutes ago it rained, but not enough to get me (or the laptop) wet under the maples and patio umbrella. Best little rain storm ever, it could only have been more perfect if there was one wee thunderbolt. Still, it made everything smell great!

I should probably be thanking God that my computer doesn't have sound, huh?

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

Some lady brought a cat on the train. Which of course isn't allowed (as it was not a seeing-eye cat).

I wanted to go over and say hi to the kitty, but it looked like the woman didn't want to call attention to her illegal cat transport scheme, so I didn't.

When I first heard the meowing, I thought it was someone's ringtone....
