I once chatted with a political huckster for quite a while, and at the end he said, "So, can we count on your vote?" I said, "Oh, gosh, no, I have no intention of voting for X." "Then why did you let me talk to you for so long!" "So you couldn't talk to someone who may have been convinced into voting for X." He bit off a curse and hung up.
Out. For. A. Walk. ... Bitch.

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

I once ran into my Alderman as he was campaigning for reelection. He started into his spiel and I interrupted him so I could tell him he already had my vote because of his efforts to prevent the Red line station near me from closing. So I saved him some time too.

And I just pour myself some Kahlua and milk to get through the rest of the workday. NOT something I ever do...but it is either that or Lorazapram (which will put me to sleep).

I've been working on our Hubble 25th event for the planetarium and sarameg just made my job harder!
Una, that made me happy! Our outreach department offers packages for planetariums, you should definitely contact them. Um, but they might be a little busy right now. Next Thursday is going to be INSANE! We have astronauts coming, some of the original Hubble founders, our Nobel laureates (including the one that yelled at me,) 4 moderated panels going on simultaneously, a huge staff photo... THEY ARE CLOSING THE ROAD TO THRU TRAFFIC!!!
I kinda lost sight of it coming up so fast what with my project going live.

It's a good thing I decided to get a new windshield. I flipped up my sun visor to see a brand new crack wending its way down from the top of it. Several new chips of varying sizes, and it leaks. And registration is due next month, with attendant vehicle inspection, and inspectors don't like cracks. Several people at work are likewise reporting sand blasted windshields and mirrors, depending on which way they were facing when they were parked. Sand got blown in *through* the closed doors on the passenger side. That was one hell of a windstorm.

Shrift, I did not know that existed but omg now I want it!!
Am proud I worked hard and sat with my computer working on the report until the internet cut out on me (and my flight is going to board shortly). Didn't get it done but got probably halfway through, which is good. I still have to finish it tomorrow, along with three others...and several hours of double-booked meetings. And a haircut. I'm feeling a little stressed. Ugh.

I didn't know it existed until I was standing in the frozen foods aisle. ZOMG DELICIOUS.
