Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Punishingly Intricate

I'd survive 1 minute, 9 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor! Not bad at all!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So when someone from work called me at 7:50 my time this morning, I was totally justified in not picking up the phone, right?

Happy birthday, erika!!

Note: on cat. A friend of my had a coal black cat, no color variation. Very striking, very handsome. My friend named her snowflake.

That should always get a laugh at the vet's office.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIKA!!

Yes. The only reason someone from work should call that early is to tell you not to come in because your workplace burned down. And for that, they can leave a message.

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

And for that, they can leave a message.

Or send a text.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Working remotely in a different time zone means either being super clear that your hours are not their hours, or adjusting yours to fit theirs. I have colleages in CA, and some basically work east coast hours, and some work west coast hours, and we have to remember which!

Yeah. Yesterday, my husband's aunt, back in Texas, called at 6AM. And then hung up before I could get to the phone, presumably because she realized it was 6AM here. She's without power, though, so I'll forgive her.

Oh, ouch.
