There's one pup who's always sleeping draped over a sib's head.

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

OMG the puppy snorgling.

Bayistas - cheap midday drink alert! (from EaterSF)

The famous John's Grill—home of the Maltese Falcon, noted Dashiell Hammett haunt and all-around San Francisco classic—rings in its 100th anniversary this month (think about that one). To commemorate the occasion, owner John Konstin will be offering eight-cent drinks from 11:30am to 3:30pm on Friday November 14th. Only two eight-cent drinks per customer (though there are always normally-priced ones after that), but two stiff, old-school martinis for a few nickels should be more than enough to make that Friday afternoon at work a fairly memorable one.

So, the perfect end to my work-induced rage-filled morning? The same company that can't seem to provide lunch for an 11am-2pm meeting, just bought lunch for the whole floor downstairs. For no reason. We were invited to join them about 5 minutes after I returned from buying my own lunch. Aaargh. I am so over this place.

We got a picture of one of my coworkers in his halloween costume. We've successfully convinced him we are not putting it up on the department website. .

puppies off the air!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Real nice, Sara.

Here is why my job is fun sometimes: I was frantically finishing something for the Big Boss so she could deal with it before she got on a plane, when my direct boss (and friend) busts into my office saying I have to stop what I'm doing and look at the email she just sent. It's someone we work with at the Today Show costume contest! In a hilarious costume! Good times.

If you wish to be overwhelmed with the cute, you can alternate between puppies and Zoo Atlanta's baby panda cam: [link] The mother panda just picked him up.

I think I'm going to give up on early voting. It's been a complete zoo here, with waits ranging from 2 to 6 hours. I drove by the nearest site and the line was around the building. There were also a lot of news cameras there, which struck me as a Bad Sign.

It normally takes less than an hour to vote at my precinct during a presidential election, and more than 25% of the county has voted already. Also, this may be irrational, but if I'm going to spend two hours in line, I would rather do it on election day.

eta: Apparently five minutes of holding the baby panda caused the mother to lie down and go to sleep.
