Thanks Tom - that saves me an annoying trip downtown. Maybe I'll finally call my hairdresser instead.

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

My minor complaint of the day is that we had over a foot of snow, and I still didn't have a snow day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss actually went to work yesterday. He sent me an email to my work address, so apparently he thought I might come in.

Oooh, today's Groupon is for a gluten-free bakery in Northern Kentucky! AND I can buy 3 Groupons! I will be set for fancy GF stuff for months!

I had an editor send me a list of bills to add to his tracking report yesterday, and then today he sent me another email complaining that I hadn't added those bills yet. FFS, buddy, we were closed yesterday!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Argh, tumblr! ita, your last submission was supposed to post out of the queue this morning, but now it's just gone. I'll repost the picture.

My parents have no heat. Citywide gas pressure drop. It's -4F at 9 am. It got down to -9F last night.
Rolling blackouts caused by coal-fired plants shutting down due to water pipes freezing and bursting.
The SW cannot cope at all with these temps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's been better lately, I think.
The putting the murderer in a mental hospital so he'll be drugged out of his mind was a pretty mega douche move, but certainly one I'd consider, so I'm not that mad at him. I'm not really a nice person. And he was really nice to his daughter (breaking up with your boyfriend because he won't have sex and telling your father the truth!) and Foster.
I like the close parking spot. But I have shopping anxieties. It remains to be seen when they average out with parking anxieties. But if I can't find a good parking spot, sometimes it seems like a good excuse to not get out of the car, and I love those.
My replacement Nook came yesterday, and the UPS person didn't even knock, so it was outside the door all day. Grr. I could have had it set up by now.
I just dropped off my rent cheque, and now I'm sure I didn't sign it. I'm such a problem.
The developer who sits behind me moved. I'm the only person in my team in this aisle. I kinda like it and I kinda don't. I'm sure it won't last.

Ooh, cool, if you still have it.

I'm gonna be a Trader Joe's heretic and say that while there are great things I like there, for regular grocery shopping it just does not work for me. We don't eat much in the way of pre-made foods, and I end up buying a lot of treats when we go there (expensive cheeses, candy) and I still have to go to the Kroger for staples anyway. So I am on a "once a month" TJ's schedule. (There are some things from there that are staples for me now - Blenheim apricots, petite peas, french green beans - but none of them need to be bought more than once a month.)
