Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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

unsurprisingly no snow here, but colder than yesterday, that is for sure.

I so enjoyed having people at my house. I wish it had been more at once and for a sustained time. I think I will invite people over each Sunday for the playoffs.

I also wish I had just finished cleaning up last night instead of stopping at like 85%.

Tonight I have a dinner for a church committee and then my brother gets in (if his flight is not cancelled)at midnight. The guest room is NOT at all ready. Christmas stuff, plus anything I cleared out for the people yesterday is just shoved in there. Afterwork is gonna be busy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Just gloomy here in DC. We're expecting rain showers later, changing over to snow showers in the middle of the night with a very cold day by DC standards tomorrow.

omg, we are currently 3 positions down in the 2 locations I support. 1 position I do not think they are replacing, 1 is down due to illness and I have not heard a timeframe on that person's return, the 3rd position has not yet been approved for filling...AND NOW someone failed a drug test, so we are about to be down 1 more. Crappity crap. It doesn't necessarily increase my workload, but it makes me have to harass people a lot more for paperwork and information I need.

For context, there were 13 non-driver people working in the 2 locations when I started, so it's like a quarter reduction just from loss and slow hiring.

Ugh. I need to go upstairs and start doing work, but I am just not wanting to. I'm telling myself it's not even that MUCH work and if I get it done I can do other stuff, but...ugh. I opened the computer and looked at some easy emails earlier, but now the things waiting for me are actual work. Why am I not just independently wealthy?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Today is "what the hell is this bone in my mouth" day. And also, apparently, "No more hourly work for you from old job" day.

yay for getting the bone resolved, boo for old job deciding that.

meara, you should get some Texas work and I can set up my spare room as a remote office for you and then we can hang out and have the funs!

yeah, so a little socialness yesterday just really made me realize how much I miss it. EVERYONE IS INVITED TO VISIT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently tomorrow is a work from home day. So that's something? I'll have to figure out about if I can get into the files here or what.

I am eagerly awaiting the answer to "what the hell is that bone in your mouth," Dana!

hip deep in pie

Good luck with your bone teeth, Dana.

We are supposed to be getting the snowpocalypse tonight/tomorrow. It's also cold as balls here. They almost never let us stay home without using vacation time, but tomorrow may actually be that bad. Getting to stay home is the only reason that I would hope for bad weather, as I am completely over this winter already.
