Well you can never win for long with cats.

I love daylight savings, because it means there's daylight when I'm awake. However, I've always had make myself go to bed, and in the transition to daylight savings, I stay up too late. The particularly happens when I'm obsessed with something.

Speaking of obsession, the radiation levels outside the plant boundary have dropped considerably.

The new CNN morning news anchor appears to have the IQ of a carrot. A carrot talking about nuclear power is not a pretty sight.

I suspect it's better than the radio announcer this morning who couldn't stop saying things along the line of, "I saw an article that said the radiation is coming to the west coast. It had arrows and everything! And then it's going to come to the east coast! And you say there won't be significant effects, but what does that mean? Because it's ALL THE SAME AIR!"

(Side note: I can't wait for Hubs's car to get out of the shop so we can ignore local radio again.)

Dumb question, Ginger. Is the U.S. at risk for any increased radiation at all from the activity in Japan? If so, are we talking transcontinental-flight levels of radiation or single X-ray levels? (I understand we aren't talking major-increase-in-cancer levels. I just want to have something specific in case anyone pulls that radio announcer's shtick in my presence.)

Twitter is saying there is ANOTHER quake in Tokyo right now.

Oy. I had people on a similar level of freakout last night. All I could say is, "I trust my friend Ginger."

Every. fucking. morning. I get an im from my coworker who cannot figure out how to do her damn job. Never have the words "Good morning" struck me with such dread. I mention this now because I just got one. It's along the lines of, If I want something taken off the site, is that a new request or do I need to find the closed request to put it up and make a comment in there.

Presumably you've had to take stuff down since you've been here. Also, why would a developer look at a closed request that's not in an upcoming release?

USGS says 5.2

Enough already!

My head hurts so badly that my arms are shaking. I really want to go home sick after getting this morning's tasks out of the way. This morning's tasks include my performance review, but I seriously don't feel good enough for that.

And they just announced I'm working this Sunday. Seriously?

Oh, no, ita. I'm sorry. I wish I could do your job for a few day or something.

Dear coworker, walking in at 9:44 when you were supposed to be on the desk at 9, and then telling me about how you were supposed to be at Main but double-booked yourself, is not impressing me today.

Hello, be a grownup. I am sick of this shit. Even the "lazy disorganized" person in the office knows when she is supposed to be on the desk and CALLS ME if she is running late.

Signed, I do the same work you do but am not in a librarian position so I make $15K less than you. Also, I have two small children and I can get to work on time - you BUMPING YOUR HEAD AT HOME is not an excuse to be 45 minutes late.

Ugh, ita.

My damned cats are driving my crazy. If Oz doesn't want to sleep at night he wanders around my room, pawing at things. Most of the time, if I personally invite him onto the bed and give him a little cuddle, he'll stay and sleep. Not last night. At 2, I finally chased him down into the basement (I may have been swearing at him at the way down.) only to be woken up by him scratching on the basement door at 3:30. I have to do something to change his bedtime habits, or I'm going to end up throttling him.
