Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

TOO MUCH MEETING.

Hmmm, some department or office down the hall is getting a mini-fridge. Is breakroom chaos brewing? The Wars of the Fridges? The Skirmishes of Half The Microwaves Don't Work have already broken out.

So, practical parenting advice needed. Can you steam open self-sealing envelopes? (The kind with the sticker you peel off, not the kind you lick.) Dylan wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy and I need to read it before it goes under his pillow.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A bit of Googling says no, but putting it into the freezer for a few hours might work. You might be able to just pull it open, depending on how good the adhesive is.

Odd names on the kids these days. There's a girl by the name of Chantal (phonetic), spelled Zont'l. Poor thing. And the new guy next to me, his name is Chalice.

Parents, express your creativity in ways that will not one day look at you and say "What were you thinking!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw! (I have no advice.)

I am so close to finishing my stupid deadline of today! I am just waiting on one final thing from one person, and everything else is signed off on.

I'm just glad it's still light out, because 7 isn't actually that late to work, but it seems SUPER late when it's been dark for four hours already.

I work late every other Wednesday, so I'm here until about 10:00pm. I'm already wanting to go home. Feh.

Okay, well I was able to gently pry it open without tearing it, and he is asking the Tooth Fairy for a 3DS. Nice try, but no.

Dude. Dylan, that's ... wow. Don't tell HPF. she's still got some teeth left.

I heard going rate around here is up to $5 and I said we're on the cheaper tooth fairy plan.
