Dear timer that turns on the bathroom heater in the morning:
You cannot just decide not to work for no reason. That is unacceptable. Shape up and fly right.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Argh! Some idiot (ie me) left the gate open and my stupid dog (ie the dog that is too smart for his own good) decided I really meant it when I said I'd rather stay home and take him for a walk than go to work and he would make that happen.
Monday.
Dog is safely at home, gate is closed, and I am at my desk as usual, only a little late. But argh.
ETA and I managed to leave my phone at home. Good job, self.
Not entirely unrelatedly, I would like to punch any politician currently using "protect the 40 hour work week" as a talking point

Drove the roommate into work because she woke up late, so I was able to stop by Trader Joe's to return the frozen Belgian Waffles that were somehow awful. I had bought two boxes, so I gave it two tries (2 portions from the first box). I've never had anything that I actually wanted to return to TJ's before! Happily, they weren't argumentative about it so I didn't feel completely horrible about it.
Yes, I am way too guilty about stuff like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's that even about? I'm afraid to look it up.

I think it's that there's language in good old Obamacare that defines "Full-time" as 30 hours a week or somesuch and we can't have that now can we?
I don't want to look too deeply into it because I suspect the rage blackout would be dangerous.

Oh lord. Thank you -- that is plenty of information!
So someone I'm facebook friends with just posted a sad thing about a child dying (I think, again, I avoided most of the information) BUT the child's name is "Maiysn." It was in the status more than once as "Maiysn." I'm still living in hope that it was actually Maisyn, because at least that makes some modicum of sense in English.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My new iPad arrived 2 days early. That means the rest of the day is a holiday, right?

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

Totally.

I just asked my boss if I could have the rest of the week off, after getting news of the biggest grant either one of us has ever gotten. Sadly, the answer was no.
