Grrr. I've been on hold with the DC Council's office due to their having redone their webpage and made it impossible for me to find info on last year's session!!

The guy I was connected with said that the website is new to them too, and he'd have to put me on hold while he got some help. That was five minutes ago. I'll wait another few minutes and then try again--I get worried that the people on the other end of the line forget about me after a few minutes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fuuuuck. Possible big storm next week.

Due to various, I really don't need that. Rarely do I wish I could telecommute, but....

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

Blue light destroys antibiotic-resistant staph infection

Two common strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA, were virtually eradicated in the laboratory by exposing them to a wavelength of blue light....

The good: Meeting with underling went very well, which was uncertain because she's very tight with the drama-causer this morning so I wasn't really sure what her attitude would be.

The not-so-good: Drama-causer may end up being moved under my charge, which is less good. But I'll deal with that if it comes to pass. I like her enough and she's good at her job, but sensitive and high-maintenance like whoa.

I also had to tell underling that there's no funds in the budget this year for tuition reimbursement which was unfun. Out of my hands though, you know?

I thought it meant it could be cured by hanging out in K-Mart. Cure your MRSA and get 20% off! Both on aisle 23!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen's class is having Occupation Week. I'm going to speak tomorrow about being a stay-at-home-mom. And I'm going to read Mars Needs Moms.

AH looks positively adorable pregnant and that dress is to die for. I can't imagine how freakin' beautiful that child is going to be.

Not me! I thought, "Staph's been cured by a Hooloovoo!"

I can't imagine how freakin' beautiful that child is going to be.

Totally. And yeah, that's a gorgeous maternity dress.

Blago's just been convicted by the IL Senate. Now they're voting on whether or not to bar him from holding public office in the state in the future.

The highway people are going to be covering up the signs with his name emblazoned on them tonight and taking them down very soon.
