was a 4:50 SOS call from our Australian team
They called you up to sing ABBA tunes? That's awesome.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.
'Serenity'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I was at the office until almost 7 waiting for incoming work from a client who was supposed to get it to me two days ago, so it can be done by end of day next Monday. Guess who never sent me the materials I'm waiting on? (Though at least my supervisor called at 6:45 to let me know I wouldn't be getting anything tonight...)
Dear client: if I could wiggle my nose and make things get done instantaneously by magic, I would not be wasting that gift working for you.

So I was chatting with my 7-11 cashiers. One just got back from Pakistan, and the other ? Kathmandu! I was on the same side of the world, and for that matter, in the same city in one case, at the same time, as my 7-11 cashiers! How utterly bizarre is that?? We chatted how he weather was so great for monsoon season until just the end of July.
I'm told tickets to Kath are cheapest in the winter. Hmmm.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
So glad your Dad is coming, msbelle. You need someone else -- even if you just want to take a walk by yourself.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This woman on The Daily Show is irritating and won't actually back up what she's saying, but I really wish Jon Stewart would stop interrupting her, because I keep wanting to hear the end of her sentences.

Okay, so, to cap off my day. And Ginger and Cass may be the only ones to appreciate this.
(The Australian SOS, which, by the way, had nothing to do with ABBA, turned into a big fucking deal when the person I stepped in for took offense at..I'm not sure, exactly, except he thought "I haven't heard back from him, is there anything you can do" was a total slam and resulted in [literally] 47 emails tonight.)
But that wasn't the end. I was just closing the kitchen window. And I banged into the magnetic knife rack. Sharpest chef knife, meet big toe.

Just started watching DS and realized who he's interviewing. I have no interest in hearing the start of her sentences let alone the end.
