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

When I did ditch once in my senior year (so P and I could go two "towns" over for lunch), the asst principal was boggled. "No, I need to see your sister." Like I couldn't have layers??

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

I had no idea about any of this. Despite cancer, Maura Tierney tries 'North Atlantic'

I'm having a hard time imagining her in Parenthood. Lauren Graham works in that role so well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

“Not dead yet!”

I got to see meara's new place tonight and it's absolutely lovely! And on beautiful days, she's going to have a monster gorgeous view outside her bedroom windows.

YAY for new homeownership!

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

From xkcd: Circuit Diagram

That made me choke on a caffeinated beverage. If I were still working in the office, I'd print that out and hang it on my wall.

meara, yay new home with a monster gorgeous view!

BOTH children peed in their beds in the night, and ended up in our bed. Our bed was so not made for four people. Yawn.

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

Yes, Everyone Really Does Hate Performance Reviews

Don't get me wrong: Reviewing performance is good; it should happen every day. But employees need evaluations they can believe, not the fraudulent ones they receive. They need evaluations that are dictated by need, not a date on the calendar. They need evaluations that make them strive to improve, not pretend they are perfect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, flea. Ugh.

Can anyone explain why Open Office refuses to open this morning? I don't want to work as much as the next computer program, but I GOTTA.

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

The archive upstairs is moving to NJ and they're rolling these huge shopping carts of film back and forth all day. It's like working underneath a bowling alley. I want earplugs!
