Get your rant on, Steph.

It has been a Monday in my corner of the world. I just want to shut everything down and crawl back in bed and SLEEEEEEP.

My company is putting in a 24-hour security guard on our building (they call it a campus, I suppose that's technically true, but for some reason applying "campus" to a business installation irks me, please don't explain it, I'm practicing my female curmudgeonness). Anyway, I like the idea of someone wandering around at night, as I leave at 10:30 PM Sunday nights, and I've lost my ability to be sanguine about walking through shadowy, empty building corridors and lobbies. Heck, I'm happier out in the parking lot, where the lights are and I can see in all directions.

"France doesn't have ADHD"

France. It's a magical place.

OMG. meep. Good thing happened just now.

I kind of want to buy the Internet a drink,,, or a pizza for the non-drinkers. That's silly right.

Kree blood prevents ADHD?

(couldn't resist.)

No, because I'd like that drink and/or pizza.

t edit Ah, I just saw why -- right on!

Zenkitty, have you tried tubing? When I visited a friend in Charlottesville in 2005, she took me to a place where they drive you upstream and then send you down a fairly calm river in innertubes. We brought a cooler and got a smaller tube for that. It was lovely--we chatted and drifted, half submerged in a cool river on a hot day I'm pretty sure it was well under $20, albeit 10 years ago

Calli, that place (or a similar) is still there. My niece does it sometimes. I haven't done it, for a few reasons but mainly because I hate how I look in a swimsuit. If I ever lose 40 pounds, maybe I'll do it. Thanks for the rec, though, I appreciate that you're thinking of stuff for me!

chewed through the cord on my laptop's power adapter.

I think if they ever get a shock from it, they'll stop, but I hope you can find a way to discourage them before they get a shock. I'm surprised and lucky that my cats don't do that, as much as they like to chase after things that look like snakes/worms.

I am sitting in on a two-hour conference call, mostly about stuff that doesn't pertain to my job. Yawn. My hair looks awesome; too bad it isn't a video conference.

Somebody just said "low-hanging fruit". That should result in a firing.

Best line so far: "We're a non-profit, not a charity. They gotta pay the bill."

Yay good thing, Sox!

Not silly at all! Buy the world a Coke! You go girl!

I'm so sad to hear that. Tubing is awesome!

I will say, I find being around lots of people in bathing suits to be the best thing -- there are lots of people of all shapes and sizes out there! Many of them in bikinis!

I got an invite for a speed networking event later this month. How quickly did I decline that? So quickly, you guys.
