Punishingly Intricate

Leaving work when it's dark is the worst for me. Don't mind getting up in darkness.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

So, do we have a consensus that this is the slogan for today?

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

I literally put on three different outfits this morning. I had tights angst. And then shoes angst.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

ita keeps posting seemingly innocent links

Dude, 'tis ita. Caveat clicky.

My earworm buster for years has been the soundtrack to OMWF. It usually works by the time I get to "They GOT... the MUSTARD... OUT!!!!"

Yeah, I had trouble, too. Thirty degree temperature variance + office work and dirty work = flummoxed me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have my "I'm boring; leave me alone," outfit on today. Black jacket, trousers, socks and birkies. Plain cream top. Pearl stud earrings. No color, no accessories. I'm dressed, I'm here, I have a new cms to beat into submission. Leave me alone.

Sadly, I've trained most people to contact me via email, so my sartorial instructions are useless. Damn my training skills! Damn them!

I skipped tons in the hopes to be the first person to post this: [link]

I'd call it mostly safe for work, unless stick figures briefly having sex under the sheets is too prurient for your office space.

Speaking of work, I've been going back and forth with the CMS developers to see if they can automate the conversion of things like á into text for article titles, because we post a lot of French material. I just received the following email from one of the developers:

I'm working with our developers now to try simplifying the French letter problem.

Must. control. inappropriate. snark.
