Laura, I'm so sorry! You shouldn't have to deal with that.
Beth, I'm sorry about the work stress.
Steph, that is so scary. I'm sorry. Yay, for raise!
I'm wearing pleather leggings today. I feel sort of badass.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Laura, I'm so sorry. Funerals often bring out the best in people... or the worst. I'm sorry it was the latter for you.

My brother has been periodically texting me pictures of dogs over the past couple of days
There is actual science that shows that petting a dog or cat (or puppy or kitten) reduces stress...but so does looking at a photo of one.
I use cute animal photos in many of my presentations.

This is why my Twitter feed is about 50% pictures of cute animals.
(This is also why my Tumblr posts are, like, 50% picture of CEvans, sadly.)

So remember that 8:30am meeting that I hoped would be useful? Pete got up at 7am, and TURNED THE ALARM OFF. I totally missed the meeting. ::headdesk::

Anyhow.
Oh, Peev, no! Sorry, Jilli. That's unlike him.

It really is unlike him. Thankfully, it sounds like the meeting was the typical first meeting that was a bunch of waffling and back-and-forth. I'll ask my boss for details when I talk to him later today.

There was a half-grown black cat wandering around the landscaping this morning. The complex is no-pets, so he shouldn't have been there. I wanted to pet him, but that way leads to tears for all concerned. I hope he finds his way back to where he should be.
