Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Oooh, lisah, you got screwed today! (Just about everyone but City schools was closed.)

My work is determined by the head of facilities. Who has 4WD. Which I point out to him everytime I slide on our slalom of a road on a fucking liberal leave day. I loved pointing that out to him the day there were 3 totalling accidents and a high level person fell on the steps and blew her knee. We haven't had a day like that since, so we'll see how he does. He's one of those macho bastards. Jerk wasn't inclined to close the place when we lost a/c and were having brownouts and were straining the UPS. The director shut us down.

Punishingly Intricate

Oooh, lisah, you got screwed today! (Just about everyone but City schools was closed.)

Well, I think they may have just figured out the policy today. Besides it wasn't that bad out there and I did actually have work to do that I couldn't have done at home. I've got my fingers crossed for tomorrow, though! And, although I have once again failed to buy salt, my neighbor had a bag and she lent me a cup so my Danger Steps are ice free.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

much like the solved (or IS it?) toy boat fetish mystery.

Wait, it was solved?!?!?! HOW DID I MISS THIS?? I have SO been talking the toy boat mystery up to some friends and now I find out it's been SOLVED?!?! Hook me up here, people!

Me, too. The Boy is obsessed with it, and if he finds out I missed the answer by skipping and skimming, he'll kill me.

Yeah, this AM wasn't too bad unless you were walking on a rubber coated parking lot in slick shoes (me at the dentist's.) I switched to treaded shoes I'd brought with.

Or if you were the SUV who met with the snowplow on Coldspring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Didn't we decide it had to be the battery operated... boats? Or at least wind-up.

I think my office might close with the schools, but they never close. Not that we've had more than a couple of inches at a time yet this winter.

In the decade+ I've been here, we've closed for brown-outs, a hurricane and a couple of HUGE snowfalls, like the Presidents' day one. And 9/11, they sent everyone home, most likely figuring out no one was doing any work anywho.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think we concluded it was something around playing with them in the tub and being a little boy again? But I don't know that that was based on anything but being the least cringe-making (not to mention physically plausible) option we could come up with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In my mind it's a fetish for women -- a vibrator/play thing. But again, could be totally made up in my head! (Because I do not share the fetish, assuming it is real.)

Well, that's no more outlandish, I guess. Wait, is outlandish a plus or minus here?

Either way, not solved.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
