Good one, Theodosia!

Happy birthday, Fred Pate!!

Yay, Cubs won! They were down 7-6 at the 7th-inning stretch, but by the end of that inning, they were up 11-7, which was the final score. Thank you, Soriano, for the 3-run homer.

I know you can get vanilla sugar from Penzey's Spices.

Polgara! I almost called you this weekend to see if you wanted to hang out.

Hey, chica! S'ok, I had a fairly busy weekend anyway, where "busy" is defined as "too much shopping."

Yay, Cubs won! They were down 7-6 at the 7th-inning stretch,

Obviously, my stopping watching them caused them to suck, but only for five innings....

Wow, Typo, that's appalling. What were these people, raised by wolves who finally threw their paws up in the air and walked away snarling, "I give up"?

Now you know why I love it when Dr. House is so rude.

But, but, how will you people ever educate us and make us better, nobler humans if you're not all sweet and magical? Because that's totally your job.

Thankfully all I got was teased when I spent a few months on a cane. Which is good, because I was about to snap the whole time.

My coworker just sent me The YES Dance to cheer me up [link]

Not safe for any workplace that isn't mine.

Yay! I got a small raise, a possible bonus, and promised a promotion by the end of the year. I guess no one else notices how much time I spend screwing around.

Congrats, Tamara! It must be productive screwing around.

Congrats Tamara. And Erika - yeah that is what I was wondering: so you have to go through this shit all the time? Usually I think of myself as unshockable. But freakin grown people go out of their way to be rude to people with disabilities? I mean I expected to magically turn invisible to a lot people, but actual remarks? That surprised me.

It is geeky screwing around and that does help to inform my job, so maybe it is productive if you look at it right. And squint.
