Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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

Sensor turned up in my car, hooray! Good thing I was carrying a big bag of stuff into work today and loaded it in through the passenger door or I doubt I would have seen it.

Ooh, coffee, that's a thing I can have.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yesterday I spent about half an hour spending $350 of the firm's money of food at Costco.

Kind of fun, until you get to the part that the only thing making me go to work today is that I have $350 worth of food in my car.

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

Theo, that sound like a nightmare! Your friend is lucky to have you!

Today feels like it wants to rain, and I wish it would get on with it.

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

The forecast is for 20% chance of rain this afternoon. I forgot my umbrella, and radar now looks like we have a 100% chance of some severe weather soon. Hopefully it'll be past us by the time I leave work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bah -- I got in trouble first thing this morning about a thing I dropped the ball on -- and why do I only drop the ball on things my boss has been looped in on? I swear to god, I take care of a million things she never hears about and fuck up one, once in a while. So anyway, now people are driving me crazy I don't feel like working, which is definitely counterproductive. I did send out a couple of things already, though, so that's something.

I would say my coffee is broken, but I do choose to drink decaf so I guess it is working as advertised. Be that as it may, I would like a nap.

Aargh, Theo! As my mother would say, "Great shall be your reward in heaven."

From an article in the NYT about SurveyMonkey:

Inside the three working floors of SurveyMonkey’s headquarters, conference rooms are named for what the company sees as its three stages of gaining insight. At the base is survey creation, and rooms are named for Miles Davis and Frida Kahlo, among other creators. Next is information collection, which earned room names for James Bond and Catwoman. Finally comes analysis, with rooms named after Sherlock Holmes and Veronica Mars.

It turns out that when you stagger around in a rage shutting off your alarms and then for some reason go back to bed, you will be late for work.

Huh. I should have tried that.

ION, I have to go back to the dentist again because the two teeth he worked on a few weeks ago both have had chunks of filling fall out.

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

Hi folks. Yesterday started great -- I made yeasted waffles for the first time. It turns out they really are that much tastier than regular waffle batter. But the day devolved by the afternoon. So much for father's day.
