I should really know better than to read stories about cats while on the phone with customers. Thank heaven for the mute button that I can click when I get to parts that make me cry.

Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
People are going crazy with making changes for the new year.
But how will they justify their existence?
instant miso soup for lunch. I am drinking water like it is my job. 2 more hours until I leave for the Dr. My goal is to get as much as possible off my desk in that time. GO!
A great Oatmeal indeed!
Argh how annoying. I'm trying to book a trip to Seattle in a couple of weeks (sorry Buffistas, I'm going to be in meetings & driving around, no time to visit probably), and the website for the agency we use kicked my flight choices back to me, probably because the flights I picked were not the cheapest.
Well, probably not, but there's no way to tell, because the search engine on the website doesn't show flight prices. You only find out how expensive a flight it after you've chosen it.
NOT HELPFUL.
So, what I actually meant earlier is that the flu is crazy in Boston this year: [link]
(I think in real life, the flu is crazy everywhere.)
ND picked up the flu in Florida and was sick as a dog--103 fever in the ER last week. TamiFlu knocked it back after a few days, but everyone, GET your flu shot!
I've been around people with the flu all through the holiday season, but I did get a flu shot this year and so far no sign of the ick. I hope if I haven't gotten it yet, I'm not going to at all, but we'll see.
Yikes, scary reports about the flu! All three of us got our flu shots already, so I hope we'll be OK. Rose had to get hers in two parts, and we took her for the second one just a few days before Christmas, whereupon she promptly came down with a bad cold, quite possibly from some sick kid in the waiting room. But still, far better to have a cold than the flu! (She's all recovered now.)
I got my flu shot WAY late this year since Hurricane Sandy pushed back my office's health fair to a date when I couldn't make it into the office. But I did finally haul my ass over to Walgreens so the family is all vaxxed up. (Except Aeryn, who gets her second dose at her 2-year appointment next week. And next year both kids can get Flumist which will make them both much happier.)
