Just got home. Normally my commute by car takes about 40 minutes. Today it took an hour and 20 minutes, mostly because I spent 40 minutes stuck behind a Prius that was going 10-15 mph. The road was snow-covered but there was no reason to go that slow.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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

That was sweet of your mom, sarameg. And at least you lost a filling when you already had to see the dentist. (Wee, tiny yay for the second one?)
JZ, I would read the heck out of that book/series.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm in the SLC airport, and the flight arriving from Chicago is delayed, which means the flight that immediately turns around and goes back is delayed.
Of course, my flight to New Orleans is also delayed.

Now waiting for the numb to wear off such that my lips work.
I had a filling once right by the gum line in the front. The novocaine numbed not just my lip but my nostils. It was the bizarrest thing because I couldn't feel myself breathing so I kept freaking out that I wasn't.

Chicago is pretty much whiteout right now, at least downtown.

Hah! I'm sure it's awful if it's happening to you, but that's hilarious.
I really need to do work. And am really not doing it. I have a thing that is already a couple days overdue, that I need to complete, but don't wanna. And another thing that is due next week, but I know I'll be super busy next week, and need to do it tomorrow. But lately I have just been SO SLEEPY.

But it's a lovely day in Salt Lake, at least. Supposed to snow tomorrow, though.

Bah, I now feel icky after giving blood. But I suspect it has more to do with eating too many of the cookies afterward.
I want to go home but I really have to finish revising this scope of work. Arrrgh.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
So far today, I have alerted a woman to a dropped flash drive, a man to a dropped quarter, and a woman to the fact that her cell phone had slid under her chair.
Anyone else missing anything?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

She needs to get that there thing iPadded, she does.
