All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just sent my cat hating boss a link to the random kitten generator.

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

You should apologize by sending the link to this video:

So, since some of us have (or took) tomorrow off, what are people's plans for the weekend?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Girlie makeup question: is YSL's Touche Eclat really All That?

You mean the miraculous Sleep Inna Clicky-Tube? Yes, I think it is All That. I like the Boots knock-off you can get at Target, but I think the formula of the YSL one is slightly better.

I'm ignoring this.

Signed, bitter that I am working tomorrow.

Yeah, it's almost an anti-cat video - perhaps it would give nightmares to cat-haters....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm looking over the CRFs for a trial we're about to initiate, and...we are collecting some odd demography data.

For instance, there is an Ethnicity question for which there are two options: "Hispanic or Latino" or "Not Hispanic or Latino." I don't know; maybe we're being funded by the Census.

But then there are the Race options:

White. Okay, that one's simple.

Asian. Fine, that one works.

Black or African American. Sure.

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. Huh! Usually the Pacific Islanders get lumped in with the Asians. I've never seen Native Hawaiians get their own box before.

American Indian or Alaska Native. I...what?? How do these two get lumped together? Aren't they very different genealogically? Or do they share similar racial characteristics?

There is no "Other" option. You must fit in one of these boxes!

Hey now, it's not like I get it as a holiday. I still have to use those precious vacation/personal days.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My weekend plans are Easter-iffic. Laying low tomorrow night, due to Saturday morning choir practice, then Saturday evening Mass (a friend is getting baptised), Sunday morning church, mid-day family dinner.
