Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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. .

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.
