Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Bagless. And I cleaned the filters awhile back.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I probably need to clean my vacuum's filter, but I lost the manual and I don't know how. The Internet could help with that, I guess. That's what the burning smell is, right? Dirty filter?

Sometimes I marvel that I've managed to live this long.

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

These problems do not arise if you just stop vacuuming. The tumbleweeds of pet hair do arise, but there are trade-offs in any strategy.

I should probably warn you guys, I am eating an enormous amount of sugar because there were two cakes and a pie sitting on the counter when I got out of my training session and I will probably try to aim my excess babble toward you guys instead of my co-workers...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, is that right? I was totally just going to replace it. It is a cheap vacuum I've had for ten years, so.

Well, it's soaking in a bucket of water (the vortex-y part.) it'll either help or it's the motor losing its oomph.

Just saw the porkiest damn squirrel. It had a double chin, even. Bet it is one who steal from my birdfeeder.

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

The rain just hit. Big squall over the house, reminding me that yep, no insulation whatsoever around here. Luckily squalls tend to pass quickly.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Burrell, what's the long-term forecast? Pix warned me about motorists, and I brought an umbrella just in case, but I'm going to be sad if it's going to rain the entire time I'm there.

I think it's supposed to rain all day and into the night, but most of the time the rain has been moderate, not too heavy. That squall for instance is already past my house.
