I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Ok, shut up, I should be asleep. But Loki is on a tear and it is cracking me up. I tossed him out on the snow covered deck. Oh HELLS NO. He bolted inside and is going crackers up and down the stairs, into the cat toyhousese, around and around and around. Guess my boy doesn't like snow, but it makes him craxier.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Working through lunch hour is illegal?

It is in California, apparently. I have to fudge my timesheets to insert 30 minutes of lunch a day or my contracting company won't accept them due to legal reasons.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hm. My company told us to just fill in 40 hours a week regardless of how much we actually worked. We're on salary, though. They don't care if we take lunch or not.

Wow. Speaking of gifts, my boss gave me a pound of assorted Wockenfuss candy. Unexpected. (I didn't open it until now.)

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

For non-exempt, employers are required to provide at least one (unpaid) meal break in any shift longer than four hours. I'm not sure if or how that applies if you're on salary.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just finished catching up on the Vampire Diaries. I have concluded three things:
1) It did get a little better. This is not saying much, but it did.
2) The showrunners clearly understand the importance of hurting Damon in ways that mean he has to take off his shirt so we can see the iliac crest. This is crucial to point 1) and I approve.
3) Ian Somerhalder may be the new Chad

There was also Enver Gjokaj iliac crest tonight too. Quality time.

The Vampire Diaries does a decent job of ending each episode a punch. Dollhouse is just punching punching punching.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

2) The showrunners clearly understand the importance of hurting Damon in ways that mean he has to take off his shirt so we can see the iliac crest.

And bless them for it.

Our wings are not tired.

I like the irreverent vibe. Especially when it's matched with brains, like it obviously is.

I never like irreverent when it's not matched with brains.
