But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

not your mom's socks.

It's snowing sideways right now, and the wind is nasty.

lightning snow and thundersnow! This is kind of fun. Or would be if I weren't the adult with the car-cleaning, shoveling duties. Still, going sledding tomorrow.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just had about a cup of pineapple chunks. I have to avoid buying pineapple too often or I'd eat my weight in it every couple of days. So good.

Pretty sure that even if work opens, I'll be telecommuting. Fair bit of shoveling to do already, we'll need to clear our street. And it'll have a nice ice base from the slush. Good thing I bought a reinforced shovel. My plastic one is great for walks and roof where no hacking is needed, but this...this will involve hacking.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

In onerous tasking, I washed and dried a load of laundry, created a spreadsheet that will speed my reimbursement submitting exponentially, shared it with amyth, and finished the damn evals that are two weeks overdue, just in time to do another set. Seriously, teachers, my hat is ever more off to you.

Go team onerous tasking! ::fist-bumps amyth::

Now we're watching Inception (of course) while on our laptops. I might do some bill paying stuff, though I'd rather do my reimbursements. Hmph. And I need to go home soon.

eta...

...Really? Clearly I have forgotten! Seriously, please don't worry about it. Put that money towards a Get Smonster to NOLA fund instead. :-)

Darling, I owe you $125 for the hotel for the Atlanta f2f.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should really make a special trip to the store for clementines. I never buy them because I already have too much heavy stuff to add 5 lbs of citrus!

I was very excited to see the two pound bag of clementines at trader joes, much more do-able than the five pound box! If I had some clementines here I would eat them. But I don't. So I had papaya. And dole whip. Mmmm.

Dagnabbit, I was just at TJ's earlier -- I should have looked there.

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

It's like a ten minute technological multiple orgasm with Aishwarya Rai (SFW, but NSFLife).

I can easily go through 5lbs in a week. But we know I'm weird.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's an awfully *specific* example. What kind of places *have* you worked, Hec?

Don't you remember that place where everybody had to rig umbrellas and little canopies made of stapled paper because we were officed in the former courtyard of a mall-space, directly under the huge, glare-blinding sun roof?
