Wow, this is a serious bitchslap.
Also, Anonymous is pretentious.

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

I'm going to do some catching up I would normally do in the morning, and attempt onerosity closer to lunch.

I was going to make a pie (okay, so not so onerous) but the friend I was making it for is not available, so that won't work.
And I'm trying to find out whether I need to call other contracting firms or if the one I hooked up with is enough. I'm really too lazy to go running around.
I did just make a vet appointment for the dog this morning. And I called to make a massage appointment but nobody was there.
And now I will take the dog for a walk, but that's not onerous either.

Yeah. This is what comes of loving Alan Moore so much.
OTOH, Barr was a total dickwad.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It is cold. I don't think there's an Indian place down here. I'm hungry, but have no idea if I want pizza, tacos, sandwich, Italian, Greek, Asian, cafeteria style, salad. No clue, but still hungry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?
The un-fun businessy parts of freelancing. Proposals and contracts and whatnots.
(Note to current client: if you just would answer my outstanding questions and send me stuff, I would VERY HAPPILY work on your project and have way more fun and, you know, get paid.)

I was reading that story about Anon this morning; it's fascinating... Although parts bother me: I haven't read the entire IRC chat log yet, but the parts I have gotten through seem a lot less dramatic than the summary in the piece.
On the other hand, I will never get tired of hearing about the Low Orbit Ion Canon.

A dickwad with poor grammar.

My favorite part, actually, were his chats with his coder.
The programmer keeps saying, in essence, "I know you think you've got the tiger by the tail, but you don't understand the very important, very basic concept of small sample size as it applies to statistical analysis. You are completely full of bullshit and there's no way I'm going to put that shit on my computer because those guys will take me out."

I did my onerous task for the day: calling a meeting space to get availability and price quote. I hate phone work, so getting that done has left me feeling all virtuous. Now, it's time to go to my Access class, which is my reward. Yay!
