Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I love how the American Meat Institute person is all about how this is taking away a choice that should be the parents' choice, but CNN can't actually find a parent to complain about it. Everybody actually involved seems to like the idea.

I imagine any parents who were really that vehemently opposed to the idea could also, you know...make a bag lunch for their kid on Mondays? It's not like the schools are going to have meat-sniffing dogs roaming the halls looking for ham sandwiches.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMFG. I apparently lost my building ID yesterday. After 3+ years!! I hope it's at my apartment, but can't imagine when it would have jumped out of my purse. I swear.

It's not like the schools are going to have meat-sniffing dogs roaming the halls looking for ham sandwiches.

Although, it's pretty much true that all dogs are meat-sniffing dogs.

It's dark at 7 am. sobs

I wish I knew what apocalyptic thing happened at 7:15 such that I could hear sirens throughout my whole shower. It was crazy.

I'm overhearing IT discussions that lead me to believe I'm going to get blown off, at which point I'm going to get slightly catty and point out that the impact to my project is much greater than their inconvenience (in fixing something THEY broke.)

My stocking is shredding.

I hate our IT department, but it's kind of unjustified, which I hate more. They don't have a lot of people, and the people they have are underqualified because the pay is such crap. So, I can't get them to do ordinary things and respond to questions because they're too busy keeping the infrastructure from collapsing.

Baltimore public schools have instituted "Meatless Mondays" for school lunches. The American Meat Institute says "students are being served up an unhealthy dose of indoctrination." Lou Dobbs says it's "a political storm in the making."

I pretty sure some commie idea like that wouldn't fly in my school district. They determined the President's address to students wasn't appropriate.

If they sell it as saving money, rather than vegetarian...which is one of the ideas behind a lot of the changes BCPS made wrt their food service plan.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And during Lent, Fridays were also meatless, though they'd sometimes have fish.

Well, that's okay, as long as Jesus is involved.

Okay, random question... is IVR-148 the same as the pandemic swine flu?

I am seriously going to stab someone today.
