Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sorry to hear that, ~t. Fingers crossed for the long term.

My cat just drank from the cup of oolong tea I made for myself. Silly cat. It won't hurt her, will it?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The very first thing I thought of when I heard the news was Elvis Costello's Tramp The Dirt Down.

Me also. Serious vitriol.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

More Retronaut fun... [link] . I had no idea MJ had a patent on this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm actually pretty excited to learn that was special shoes and not just magic.

So, long-term maybe positive but short-term kinda meh.

Booooo. But continued good luck for the long term!

And those shoes can be used to pull nails!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, now (not right this minute now, but this week) I'm shadowing one of the analysts so I can fill in while she's on vacation next week, so maybe a little more positive than I had thought...we'll see.

Ugh! I still can't decide if I want to get a new cat. Mostly I still want my old cat back, I think, so I guess that's a no.

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

ok - 10 am interview tomorrow. only good thoughts - so I am getting out my vent now...

It is 6pm and I am still at work. I had to call my parents to go over to be with mac so that McPhee could leave.

The damn presentations that I had to get printed are just NOW sent to the FedEx office. Or that is to say, half of them are. The other half are in various states of printed/collated/side-bound stapled here at work, because sending them all out for printing/binding was deemed too expensive.

As it is the printing/binding was over $1000, and therefore over my p-card limit, so I had to put them on a personal card in order to get them done! It took so long to get them off to the printer, because 1)The decision on how many to bind and whatnot was not made until after 9am. 2)the presentations themselves were a mess different fonts, misnumbered TOCs, headings inconsistent from presentation to presentation and sometimes within the same one 3) The bound packets are 7-8 presentations put together and I had to build them up on the FedEx website, but then if I had to leave to do other work (2 lunches to have delivered/set-up/and one lunch where I had to be present) (also my big boss' staff meeting although he was not here which is an hour and I had to prepare docs for) - well that time away, timed me out of the website and I lost the structure and settings I had built up. - That one is one me.

Anyhoo - I have the last stack to take home, collate, and staple. I have begged a co-worker to pick up the ones from Fed-Ex office at 7am, since I cannot drop mac off until 7:20 - AND the room for them tomorrow is already all set up.

I am going home and having some bourbon.
