Timelies!!

Last day of this office job, hooray! I feel bad complaining, it's the easiest money I will ever earn in my life, but yesterday the phone rang 8 times in 9 hours.

I am on chapter 12 of the World's Longest Harry Potter Fanfiction, which is nice. I never read fanfic, really, but someone linked me this one and it's absolutely fabulous. I don't think I'll get to the end today and that makes me sad.

I am confused by Burrell's sentence as well. But I read it first after waking up at 2 am, so maybe not the best time for comprehension.

I need to for everyone in the world (or at least in my workplace) to use their $#@!%$#!!!! Outlook calendars. Trying to set up a meeting is hell, between the people who do not use it at all, the people who refer all inquiries to their secretaries and have turned off the ability for anyone to view their availability, and the people who use it as a to-do list, scheduling non-time-sensitive tasks on the calendar instead of meetings. This endless calling back and forth is irritating!

Holy crow, sumi, that's one deeply creepy article. And before I read it, I could have sworn on a stack of the sacred books of every culture on the planet that I'd inhaled every single horse book ever written, but I'd never ever heard about any of this.

DavidS -

I could see Mal as Slytherin, maybe? But not Zoe. I'm always really bad at placing people in Hogwarts Houses. Kaylee would be Hufflepuff, yeah? And Simon Ravenclaw. That's for sure.

I feel like The Doctor could sort of be all the houses, but I'd go for Ravenclaw over Hufflepuff. Tearing down evil empires with intellect is definitely Ravenclaw.

And sumi, that article is super creepy. I.. I had no idea a horse ever could or would do that.

Each of the Doctor's regenerations could be in a different house, perhaps.

Now I need to click on the homicidal horses link.

jz, I have always wondered what Shackleton's ponies ate. . .

I'm getting this book - want to read it when I'm done?

You don't NEED to, you know.

Perhaps. The current Doctor is a lot more Hufflepuff than his immediate predecessors, anyway. I've only seen Doctors 9 through 11, so I don't have the whole set to compare with, but you're probably right. Even though they are always the same person, the personalities do differ.

Suddenly, BOOM, it's fall. It's crisp and actually chilly out there, and it smells like someone lit a fire. Supposed to go into the 40s tonight, which is so weird.

Sounds like how Boston is right now. So nice. My favorite kind of weather, at least for an extended period.

I'll add a "YAY!" for Perkins as well.

I could see Mal as Slytherin, maybe? But not Zoe. I'm always really bad at placing people in Hogwarts Houses. Kaylee would be Hufflepuff, yeah? And Simon Ravenclaw. That's for sure.

I think both Tams would be Ravenclaw. Jayne would want to be in Slytherin, but he'd turn out to be a squib. I suspect Book would have been in Slytherin at some point before he became a Shepherd.
