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

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.

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

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.

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

Independently verified.

Which is why, besides having an alarm clock, I have the alarm on my Fitbit set as a drop-dead, you must get the fuck out of bed or else. It's also a reminder, when I get up on time, to get out of the comfy chair and into the shower.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was also late. I hit snooze every 10 minutes from 5 am - 8 am. I don't know what possesses me to do that. I should not have gone back to bed at 4am when I woke up.

ETA: What I really need is for someone to yell at me until I get up, I think. I don't even get up if the cat is poking me and meowing.

Ginger, is it okay if I share your confederate flag FB post on my page?
