lori!

It's great to post with you, just for you. [Edit: so, um, good night!]

But the pictures are always such a great bonus.

Aww, thanks. Check the link again in a few minutes - I'm trying to upload some more as I roll off to bed. Good night!

Oh, thanks for the heads-up!

They're there - beautiful Gracie has so many faces! And little teeth of her own!

Oh, and I love your captions.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

There are four cars in the back, along with motorcycles and a boat. None of them work, and one has a puddle of transmission fluid under it.

Oh dear. That's unfortunate, Allyson. I hope none of the local animals gets into the transmission fluid—that's not a pleasant way to go.

Anyway, I'm glad your neighbor understands that the source of the crazy is the landlady.

Yeah, it's 5:22 am and I'm online. How ya doing, insomnia?

How ya doing, insomnia?

Not going to bed yet, waking up and unable to go back to sleep, or none of the above?

Either way, I'm sorry.

Waking up at 3:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep. Usually it hits me from the other end of the night, but insomnia's a tricksy creature.

But, thanks.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Skipping out of rage.

I have this coworker, who I'm sure is a good person, but lack most of social skills. I'm doing QA control at the moment, sending him stuff to fix, and getting back the stuff, sometimes with his comments.

And the guy just doesn't know how to write "I don't agree with you" in not insulting way. I just got from him "check the dictionary for X, I'm doubt it if anyone's searching for what you're suggesting".

And I get these comments from him all of the time. I'm seeing red here. The way he's phrasing himself doesn't even wanna make me consider for a moment his suggestions, and answering back the using the same tone won't get us anywhere.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oy.

Is there anything fun and relaxing you can do until there's light and actual morning? Maybe not sleep, but at least something else that's nice?

Oh, Shir, I'm sorry you have to deal with such a not-nice person (with his own annoying brand of Humpty-Dumpty, to top it all). No good suggestions other than the good old schoolyard "ignore him, he doesn't deserve your energy and rage", but nothing, you knoe, constructive or actually helpful, though. Sorry.

Cashmere, have a safe flight.
