Now I'm imagining a tower of old cars, one on top of the other

Nilly, for you:

This is a sculpture in a shopping center near my old apartment.

Apparently invisible aliens landed in the back yard at about 4 a.m. and the dog had to go out and valiantly defend the earth.

Is that what that was? They got up our way by around 6, but we thought the dog was just Having Opinions. He's in agreement with the president that people everywhere should be allowed to Express their Opinions. Also, like the president, he's kinda dotty and rambly.

The aliens are taking a very circuitous route as they were at my place at 4:30.

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.

ugh! Sounds like you are working with a couple of my co-irkers (past and present). I try to either ignore it or respond in an extra-super cheery positive way. But I have blown up, or called them out on their rudeness, in the past. Especially if they were being condescending. Sometimes it helps sometimes not.

Ahhh, the never ending clash of QA and Development.

Or Documentation and Development. I know we are natural enemies but COME ON! Grow some manners! (not that I haven't worked/currently work with perfectly polite and respectful developers.)

Ahrg. Dropped the ball on something. It just completely slipped my mind. Damnit.

I need new pants. It's getting ridiculous. Hate shopping. All but the ones that I quit wearing because they were too small (and that's pretty much one pair)? I can walk out of.

It's only 11:22.

Tell me I'm not the only one who skimmed quickly and thought for an instant sarameg had dropped the ball on remembering to wear pants.

I remember to put them ON, it's just keeping them there that's at issue! I need to claim as much credit as possible here, people.

Somewhere Captain Jack is smiling.

Or he would be if he were, you know, real.

ChiKat beat me to the Car Spike. Oh, well, I'm just sad it's no longer there.

I'm so full of gronk today. I took a half-day yesterday afternoon to take the cat into the vet for a claw-trimming (yay for no longer feeling like I'm visiting the acupuncturist when she decides to knead my stomach), as well as get my laundry done, and ended up falling asleep on the couch around 5:00 and slept until 8:00 (with slightly wrinkly clothes in the dryer).

Then, of course, I couldn't fall back to sleep, so I decided to stay up and clean out my DVR. Taped a few recipes from ATK and finished taping the final four eps of Doctor Who, then fell asleep during the final half hour of the Earth in peril, sometime around 6:30 this morning. Didn't wake up until 9:00, and moved very slowly getting ready for work. Got here at 10:35, and waved goodbye to some co-workers who were taking their own half day and were leaving for the weekend as I was arriving.
