Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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!

Oh, those are cute, Perkins. I spent a while yesterday looking at Fluevogs, but seriously I do not need any more shoes.

I don't either.

What I really need is for someone to buy them to me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I bought a single-serving blender. [link] This is possibly the greatest invention ever. Some frozen fruit and coconut kefir in the cup, put it all together (which takes about five seconds), let it blend for a minute or so, and I've got a smoothie, which I can drink out of that same cup, with the sippy lid that comes with it. Way better than my old system of pouring stuff from the blending container to the drinking container, which always ended up with some spilling. And way fewer parts to clean, too.
