Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Things seem to be basically back to normal around here. We've been very lucky.

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

I think one of them would like it, but the others not so much.

I have everything from emergency radios to espresso machines, headphones, and digital cameras on my list. I hope something grab his interest.

I did not think this task would put me in a foul mood, but realizing I would want almost none of this has done it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Man, I feel like shit today. I can't figure out why: I haven't done or eaten anything unusual lately (unless three small pieces of Halloween candy have the ability to do me in), I even slept decently last night, but I'm all queasy and lightheaded and I just feel gross. Really wish I could go home, but Rose's daycare is really near my office and not at all near our house, and I don't think driving home now, then driving back over here an hour later would do me much good. And picking her up early would probably not be a great idea for either of us. Really wish M was going to be home earlier than 7 tonight. Ugh.

Crisp $100 bill! Or prepaid Visa card.

Lisa, I wish it would just be cash, better for everyone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I can't quite imagine a $100 gift from work that I would actually appreciate, unless it's money.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I got a Flip HD video camera one year from my boss. All 11 of his direct reports got one. Wasn't expecting it, and it was appreciated. Same boss is now succeeding the CEO at my old company.

Current job? I'm lucky to get Christmas off.

Oh, I want a new iPod, but that's just me. BUT IF MY BOSS IS LURKING, I would love it!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I want a new iPod and a Kindle Paperwhite. But not a pony: the St. Bernard is difficult enough to clean up after.

I gave someone some help with something this morning and now I'm apparently running that project. WTF. Sigh.

ION, my big crazy project that I've been stressed out about for the last few months has been let! Which means I'm mostly off the hook: everything now is up to contracting and engineering. I just hope it works (and that coastal Oregon has a mild winter).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I just ordered the Paperwhite. Or rather, I ordered a while ago but it just came off backorder. If I like it my sister gets my regular one.
