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

I was taking the "calling in dick" idea the same way Scrappy was, but now that you mention it... hmmmmm.

the sugar cookies that we got at the grocery store for his lunch.

What is it with those cookies? My kids love them, their cousins love them. I think they are vile.

I loved 'em when I was a kid. Now they taste like pasty over-sugared flour. I suspect the sugar is the draw. And the colors.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Calling in dick (either interpretation) amuses me.

I was not productive today. I finished the book I was reading and watched the latest episodes of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Supernatural. I was becatted for much of that time. Tomorrow I must do laundry.

I shared "calling in dick" with the friends I was hanging out with (we were making valentine's day cards! Or, well, I hemmed some pants and made like, one card, while my other friend made 15) and they were highly entertained and by the time I left (seven hours after I got there) we were pretty slap happy and giggling about calling in dick tomorrow. Which very much confused the person who'd just gotten there and was crashing for the night, who was actually contemplating calling in sick tomorrow, having us be like 'Hahahah! you SHOULD CALL IN DICK!! AHAHAH!!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I called in dick once.... good times.

My coworker came in saying how cold it was, and I disagreed! It's because I've given in and started wearing my puffy coat even when it's up in the 20s. And she is from Florida.

I just walked the kids to school, and let me tell you, it is fucking cold here. I only wore one pair of (wool) socks, and that was an error.

I am wearing my coat rated for -45F this morning, which should tell you something about the weather today.

Ugh, traffic. I just want to get to the office so I can eat breakfast and book travel to Ecuador!

Also my office is nice and sunny and warm. For now.

Why can I not get one good applicant for this job I'm trying to fill? It's so annoying! The posting says 3-5 years relevant experience, and I am getting people with zero years. Zero! I think half the problem is the title. The other half is that it's a one-year position. But I would have thought there would be someone out there!
