Basic Instructions seems to have hit the nail on the head.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't remember who recommended the Trader Joe's chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels, but curse you. I curse you as I roll myself into the next room.
We picked up just about everything you guys mentioned, I think. Baked cheese crunchies, the pretzels, scones, some cookies, cereal...
Welcome to the cult. (I love the scones. LOVE.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow. Someone here was just so outrageous, we started laughing and laughing because SERIOUSLY.
Short story: person in another department was seen making off with a box of our "extra" stuff. But still our stuff. Boss sends out an email saying we're doing inventory, so if you need any of our stuff (unsaid: for work purposes), let us know. Outrageous coworker writes back with a whole shopping list! Of things there is zero chance that she needs for work!

Heh. I was just wondering this morning if Dana and her husband had managed to stop at TJ's...
And yes, the choc-covered PB pretzels are CRACK. Mmm. Delicious crack.
(Why am I not doing work? Work is open on the computer in front of me, damnit...)
(OK, that guilted me eough to just do work for like, 20 minutes before posting this. Awesome0

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse - that person needs a straight-up smackdown.
I need to do more work, but there is like zero chance of that at this point. I did clear one work pile already today. YAY ME.
I also did 3 tasks on my personal stuff to-do list, all left over from last week.

Oh yes. My boss was like, "It's just a pet peeve of mine because--" I broke in, "Because it's STEALING?!?!" I mean seriously.

I got the Larger Than I Thought It Would Be volunteer project -- 'Larger' because it involved learning how to make a WordPress theme -- to a point where it should be getting last approvals from the client. I hope!

There is a chipmunk tail on my carpet.
THE CARNAGE NEEDS TO STOP!

Don't worry, Jb -- chipmunks regrow those tails all the time!

Let me clarify:
EVIDENCE OF CARNAGE MUST STOP SHOWING UP *INSIDE*
The cats can draw and quarter the little fuckers outside all they want.
I'm gonna have to rethink my colour scheme and get red carpeting to avoid all the staining that seems inevitable this summer. Or maybe just line everything with plastic like a serial killer who brings the victims home...
