Giles ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
As far as I know, there's no way to get rid of the evil possums. (They like to sit on the fence behind my house and taunt the dog.)
We had a possum encounter at the park today! A brush-tailed possum, to be precise. It was wandering about on the ground, on its way to another tree to eat some budding flowers. Ryan was quite impressed, and I could point out to Biyi that the underside of its tail was bare (better grip on branches).
I think after the two jobs I have to monitor Sunday midnight, I don't have any more midnight weekend monitoring...for at least a week. There is also a Sunday 9-11AM wait-for-the-thumbs-up gig I've been avoiding, since it's been about a month of midnights and I didn't want to hem my ER visits between work at two ends.
The information security officer tried to convince me to add to the three jobs I have this weekend by seeking emergency board approval for a job where he's doing the work--he wanted me to do the paperwork and monitoring. I do like to establish I'll do random stuff outside my established field of expertise (I want to be able to grab for good projects), but there are limits. I opened the ticket for the rest of the tech work surrounding his task, but dude, you're the entire officer of all the security. It's not my fault you're the only person in that group. I don't do your paperwork.
I told him I'd be more than happy to help him fill out the forms, though. He was pretty aghast at me not wanting to monitor a nine hour job (neither of mine should take more than an hour) Sunday morning that he'd have to be awake for anyway.
I'm not going to lie. It would be great if people were taking notice that I worked out a way to accelerate the execution of this task so it wouldn't risk affecting our immovable but unknown deadline. I WANT MY GODDAMNED GOLD STAR.
Shit, it's performance review time and I'm weeks overdue. No star for me...
Maybe some sparkly hair clips? (Actually, he would probably dig that.)
You should totes explore that. Maybe a French braid.
I often threaten to put his hair in about 30 tiny pigtails. Just because.
Most of those wildlife will stay around to bedevil your new neighbors.
That'll be fine, then.
I should clean the bathroom, but I want to believe if I ignore it, the grime will go away.
I feel strongly that since the bathroom is the room where I get clean, it should by all logical rights also clean itself.
Neil Armstrong has died.

ESPECIALLY the bathtub/shower. I mean, the dirt goes DOWN THE DRAIN!
Neil Armstrong has died.
I had no idea until I read the news that he lived in the Cincinnati area. How about that.
They say he died as a result of complications of heart surgery from 3 weeks ago.
Armstrong's family said, "For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request: Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."
