I have done very little work this morning. I have two calls coming up, and then I have to write three short things. That will have to be enough.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That sidewalk shoveling/liability thing is something that many believe. Don't know why.
Meanwhile - I think my town's main problem is the crappy surface of the sidewalks that gives melt-off plenty of places to pool and form icy areas.

I also wanted to post this blog with a woman's cool embroidery/souvenir projects.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss is now in NYC so I've had nothing to do today besides answer an email from him. (I'm here in case I need to take care of any issues with our biggest client.)
I finally decided to get off my ass and start studying for Microsoft certification exams for MS SQL Server. I might as well make myself more employable while I'm here.

Oh, msbelle, that is odd and would drive me nuts.
I wanna go home. I know my boss would understand but I should be able to tough out one day in the office. Too many people on the phone. I can't tune out the voices. I'd put in my headphones, but my ears are still so clogged from being sick that the idea is painful. I'm full of whine.

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
Hooray, Amy! I'm so glad you have a chance to do what you love again.
I have a serious case of the don't wannas. This is a problem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go tommyrot!
Suzi, you're still sick, don't push yourself too hard.

Herding cats for fun
Anybody remember the "Jams" craze? Big, baggy, cottony, comfortable, elastic waist, bright colors, deep pockets because it was guywear. Cool because of the association with surf and skate board culture. Fat girls rejoiced. For awhile they were everywhere. I fondly remember some of my greatest youthful adventures occurring in that pink and purple pair of jams and my Batman t shirt. Good times!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I just finished editing an article about developing a test to measure whether patients with facial paralysis can make a spontaneous smile in response to something funny/pleasant (as opposed to the voluntary smile people make for pictures, etc.).
So the article described how they developed the test, which was by searching YouTube for funny videos and then showing them to a control group and then the patients. They didn't give any links to the videos, but just described them, like "Goats," "Big dog dancing," "Dog on Skateboard," etc. And now I really want to see them! (Though I suspect I've seen the skateboarding dog, because I love him.)
