Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gossip that is 14 years old. The resulting child is now 13.... I guess it's sort of ongoing gossip, since the one player still works here and the other does occasional work, and is buddies with various other people. But the steamy phase has been over for years -- both the torrid affair and the brutal breakup!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My onerous task is grading. sigh. I feel like Sysiphus.

I did get most of the messages out of my inbox, so that's good.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not really onerous, but I did clean up the kitchen, do my nails, and cleaned off a lot of the TiVO. Now shower and go get mac. Really lazy today.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I should work on my inbox. I should clear 10+ year old docs and pics off my hard drive. But I won't, not today.

Today I shovel out (some) of the storage closet and make inroads on further organizing the contents. The Carlin theory of bigger house=more space=more stuff is apparently true. Woe.

hip deep in pie

I have to get back to work...

I kind of have an onerous task victory...but not from onerous task day. Describing it would be an onerous task in itself...but the short version is I was in a battle with Sears Home Improvement over a service call to my leaking chimney. Not only are they deducting the charge, but they are redoing the flashing on my chimney, which was done poorly the first time by the subcontractor they hired. It wouldn't have happened if I didn't complain on Twitter (and then write a 1000 word email of complaint.)

Nice, Sue!

OMG, our database is the WORST. Just, worst. Why does anyone think that custom is better??

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

Actually, not a dildo but a banana.

I need to PUT STUFF AWAY today instead of sitting around watching videos on my computer.

The Carlin theory of bigger house=more space=more stuff is apparently true.

Most of life is covered by corollaries of Parkinson's laws:

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

Expenditures rise to meet income.
