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

The rain has arrived, and it's quite heavy, but no tornado warnings yet. I hope all our other Buffistas in the path of this storm are staying safe too!

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

Thanks Tom for the pasta link.

I need to grade, but my head is achy. I want to nap, why oh why don't I have a daybed in my office?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I need a nap too. But I didn't earn a nap with productivity yet. Although I did bounce some Pro Tools tracks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There are some really smart, capable people in my department. The guy I'm working with today is not one of them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Perhaps we need The Darwin Award - Office Version.

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

I am off for my appointment. I have my evil eye charm in my pocket, a cross necklace on, and an buttload of good thoughts.

Ann, that's a ferret.

One that I was told about (names are changed to protect the guilty):

At the end of one day, Person (in DC) couldn't find his car keys. So he sent out an email along the lines of "Nobody may leave until I find my keys." And sent to all fellow employees. In an organization with a worldwide presence.

Luckily many of the people who hit "Reply All" also had a sense of humor. Along the line of "I've searched my office [in Chicago, or LA, or Guam] and can't find them. May I go home now?"

Unfortunately, IT deleted the email and response before morning overseas. So the fun ended there.
