Now tagless for your comfort.

Let's hold it at the premier of the Babies Documentary.

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

Awww... my dad used to do this: [link]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hope it's not too late, but, Stephanie, I have full PubMed access.

Trust my rage

Oh, JZ, that's awesome. Can I email you in a half hour or so? I'm still on the train but headed back to the office now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Spare Cat would totally do that. In fact, one day you'd probably go into the barn and find her directly attached to a teat.

Communication is so fucking bad here today. If half the folks weren't telecommuting, I'd wonder if we were all getting CO poisoning or something.

USE THE FUCKING DISTRIBUTION LISTS. I have no fucking clue what is going on because people keep leaving me and various other critical folks off the to: line, so we're tripping all over ourselves and duplicating work and just generally making a mess.

Oh, and telecommuters? Give us the number you're actually at, please.

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

Someone took my power supply while I wasn't here.

What the hell is up with that?

At least this time, I know it wasn't New Guy. But I had to sit on my thumbs during valuable catchup time this morning waiting to get hooked up again.

sara, I hear you about distribution lists. There's an "all-employee" list here that doesn't include contractors, and not everyone remembers that.

Now I'm on hold to get one of my passwords unlocked. I'm so behind on so many things...

Am now earwormed with Slade's "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply."

Frankensteinia - a blog with artwork relating to Frankenstein. Some is gothy. Some is steampunky.

Check out this awesome portrait of Mary Shelley: [link] (image at io9 as I haven't found it at Frankensteinia yet).
