Venus Williams tennis match + three dogs as ball boys = the cutest thing I have seen lately: [link]
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Our wings are not tired
On my way into work today a man wearing a lampshade on his head told me to have a nice day.
Did you take a detour to Cincinnati and walk by the UDF near CCM?

I have given the feedback "OXFORD COMMA OR BURNING. YOU CHOOSE" to project managers.
In the spirit of roll call: I will be erratic in my attendance here for the next week, because I get on a plane to Copenhagen tomorrow. I'll try to read/post, but it depends on meetings and jet lag.

I still do not have strong opinions about the Oxford comma. I like that song by that band that I get confused with the other band, though. You know the one.
Company party was pretty good. Food was delish, wine was fine and plentiful, my coworkers were amusing. I won one of the best raffle prizes, an extra floating holiday. 80% of my table one something, in fact. S won $100 in the first drawing, before I even really knew the raffle was happening. Then there were a bunch of prizes that went to other people and when the announcer described the cookware set that was up next B started saying how she does not need another cookware set (she's been there for 8 years and has a store room full of kitchen stuff in addition to what's in her kitchen) and doesn't even hear her name being called, so T and I realize that that is the key, contempt for the prize. Pretty soon a gift certificate to the Cheesecake Factory comes up and T starts rambling about how she hates that place she'd never eat there, and her name is called. So when the next prize is a float day I mention that I don't need another one, I have 5 or 6 saved up, and I win that. Too funny.

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

Ha! No, there's never a shortage of characters here either. I do prefer that preacher to the Old Navy preacher here though. Lampshade guy is relatively new. He's only been around for a couple of weeks.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Whew, made it to the end of the thread! And now I have to go to bed. But before I go:
Allyson has the Shiniest Hair. And a little more cash for whatever is needed; I assume that anything unused may end up in the scholarship fund, although you'd be surprised at how expensive obituaries are...
Maria needs to treat herself kindly.
Sean gets lots of congratulations on moving to the Bay Area. (And will get some of my 50th-birthday beer when he gets here.)
Shrift gets lots of luck on her job search (as do Theodosia and Calli and everyone else who needs it).
Pix gets lots of healing-ma so she can run the marathon.
Everyone else gets hugs or scritches.
And one last thing to cheer people up: Goats wearing coats.
