Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Always Anti-fascist!

M: Selleck C: Sizemore F: Welling The Peters are, uh, more difficult. like all of them, do not want to chuck. Ok, if I had to, M: Gallagher, not least because he got to kiss Kyle Secor on Homicide, which I would give up a lot to do. F:O'Toole....I guess I still heart "My Favorite Year" that much. Which, regrettably leads me to C Casey(sob).Probably with a lot of "Please forgive me," phonecalls.

My (male) coworker has his baby in the office today - like, all day. The baby is about 14 months old. He seems very happy, but he's talkative and running around and I just can't imagine bringing my child that age to work for any length of time, expecting to actually work. I mean, I took Casper to work with me once for an hour when she was 4 (I had the afternoon off but an emergency meeting was called) and it was not a good idea. Take a vacation day, dude!

“Not dead yet!”

Yay me, I have a new task chair- [link] (The pneumatic lift on the Aeron had gotten a little dodgy of late and I noticed my wrist was really starting to hurt.)

Achieved at ridiculous price because the office furnishings store was no longer a dealer for them.

It's very nifty, but now comes all the adjusting and finding just the right positions and relearning the right positions, since I have no idea how long the Aeron's been acting up.

Jack's happy however. The Aeron is sitting off to the side and since he's always been rather fond of it and given me the Kitty Stinkeye whenever I evicted him, I'm sure he believes that I finally capitulated and put it there for his benefit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My old cat Senor Sock and I would often fight over my computer chair. The second I brought the thing into my apartment, he jumped on it and claimed it as his own. Often times I'd get up from my desk and he'd run over and jump on the chair. So sometimes I'd get up, look at him and tell him, "I'm coming back." That actually worked some of the time....

Ann, that's a ferret.

There's always the "pick cat up from where you want to sit, sit down, and place cat on your lap" method. Works with Max.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I keep saying I need sidecars on my chair for the cats.

Should I eat at Burger King? If so, what?

I only ask because they have free WiFi. Otherwise I'd go to McDonalds. And I only go there once a week at most. Because I can just sense the food is Bad For Me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Whopper Junior meal is my standard.

I just had a Bad News meeting, and it went OK, so that's good. My boss is clearly ready for her week off, which starts any minute now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I get the Chicken Sandwich meal large with a Diet Coke. good times.

In this does not suck news, I just got a credit card promo on an existing card: interest rate dropped 9 points for 6 months and double miles for the same 6 months. That is good times.
