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.

There should also be some comp copies coming to you for your work on an intro, I'd think. Enough to give copies to your best & beloved, anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yay -- I was afraid I was going to spend this morning in a three-hour budgeting meeting, but no! My boss is going. Phew.

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

So, you might remember (or you very well might not as it's not very interesting) that I was hearing the sound of rushing water in my kitchen and I was afraid I had a big leak somewhere. Long story short, it was pinprick hole in the copper tubing linking my faucet to the wall (I would have to draw a picture to properly explain how my faucet was hooked up, suffice it to say a previous owner was not big on using off-the-shelf parts) spraying against metal and sounding much bigger than it was and now I have a new kitchen faucet. No flooding, hooray!

I am so tempted to call in "plumbing emergency" to work, but I have stuff pending that would be easier to do in the office than on my couch, alas.

Cool on the intro, Jilli!

Also, the weather is doing that thing where I look out at what looks like a lot of fluffy snow falling and think, No way is this just the "coating to an inch" they said on the radio, but then I lean over to look at the ground, and the blacktop is still black.

I'm taking my car into the mechanics to see about an Ominous Thing.

I wish you cheap fixes, Theo.

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

I do not know what I am going to get out of my house today. I didn't manage to think about it last night and go find something.

I know tomorrow will be some books, I will finish a book tonight and it and 4 that mac has read will go to half-price books.

I could probably get home at lunch if I could think of something to go get. ideas?

I am reaching the point where the stuff I want to get rid of is stuff I need to sell, I guess some time on ebay tonight would behoove me.

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

Go -t, with your plumbing-fu.

Theo, may the thing be not so ominous.

Jesse are you getting the giant blobs of snow that we got? It was so surreal.

eBay sounds good, msbelle -- I think work today on future getting-rid counts.

aurelia, it's not giant blobs right here, but still pretty fluffy. And currently blowing up past my window.
