Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Having it not be my fault means it could just as well happen again today. There isn't really an answer to the above niggling that's great, but that would at least allow for restoration of control.

Yeah. I've had pretty much all of the identity theft/credit card fraud -- charges on my cards (several), people opening accounts in my name (many), and I still have no idea why any of it. And I still don't keep a close eye on my accounts!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I've been so wrapped up in the Broadwell/P4 scandal I almost missed that my parent company is in a state of total chaos and panic this week.

I heard that on NPR yesterday morning and wondered what your office atmosphere was like.

move out and draw fire

Meeting Flea is very cool, but I'm actually more jealous of the Mars Rover Hot Wheels.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I heard that on NPR yesterday morning and wondered what your office atmosphere was like.

Well, our company-wide meeting with the CEO was cancelled at the last minute (because REASONS so no gossiping!), so right now I'm pretty happy to be working from the satellite office instead.

Swouncing

Skipping (yeah, again. At least we have internet access two days in a row!) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Hil R's birthday.

Happy birthday, Hil! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

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

Birthday Happies Hil!

See the Gay Blade

The Gay Blade was a lawnmower, circa 1958.

Happy birthday, Hil!

So, here's the definition of a pop culture institution: I just saw a review of Skyfall. I don't know that I've ever watched a James Bond movie all the way through. And yet? I have the classic theme song in my head now.

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

Happy birthday Hil!

my parent company is in a state of total chaos and panic this week.

Whoa, I heard about that on BBC World News on NPR back in October when the focus was on Savile. Sounds like it exploded into a mess.

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

This morning has been chaotic, with me barely able to wake up and the kids lolling in bed and missing the bus, but DH has been the total hero. He got up and made me coffee so I could make the lunches, and he's the one driving the kids up the hill to school. Yay for DH!

Now I need to make another pot of coffee so I can grade.
