Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am starving, and am now angry after learning that there was a vending machine in my office until 6 months ago and now it is gone! Ah well. I can hold out until dinner, I guess.

This is what I get for experimenting with lunch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

When I was renting, the apartment next to mine was inhabited by a rotating group of Mormon missionaries. One day the Jehova's Witnesses showed up at my door. After I turned them away, they went next door. I should have stuck around to listen, but didn't.

Help! Is there a way to batch delete all the speaker notes from a powerpoint deck?

Not that I know of, Brenda, but seems like there ought to be.

I did not dream of the Obamas last night--if started reading the book Orange is the New Black (she is less annoying in the book, thoug still obnoxious) and so I dreamt I was in prison.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I want everybody to be happy with their hair! Besides Jessica and Liese both have lifetime passes for Continued Commitment To Cool Short Haircuts.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

F a duck. The scheduling lady didn't call me. She had left the office by the time I called.

I haven't heard from my friend on how her surgery went today. They were going to keep her overnight, I beleive so I asked CJ to text her son and ask for me.

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

I got rear-ended on the way home from work today, but there wasn't any damage. I literally said "What the fuck?!" after it happened, because I was stopped at a light and I knew the guy behind me had stopped too. Turns out the guy behind him had rear-ended him, pushing his car into mine.

And it didn't have anything to do with the snow: The guy who caused it explained that he was distracted because his daughter had just told him she had something stuck in her teeth.

So I guess the moral is: Keep your kids' teeth clean?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad there was no damage, anyway, tommyrot.

My goodness I am tired. It seems unreasonable that I should be this tired after doing so little today, basically just sitting at a desk for hours. But there it is.

Damn. Glad you're okay. Someone scraped the hell out of the back of my (parked) car today.
