Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just figured out why our performance review form made no sense to me -- I was looking at an old version! Which made no sense! Luckily, I figured this out before my 10am meeting with my boss to go over my review. And also before I spent any time on my reports' reviews, which I'm doing next week. Maybe I will be able to write them today?

That reminds me, I should really read my new job description at some point.

Y'all. My parents gave me n extra pressure cooker they had lying around and I just want to stay home and play with it. It will supposedly work with my induction burner!

Is this a variety of geek joy? Feels like geek joy.

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

Awesome. You could make a steam engine!

Can I do that and still use it to cook? Must ponder.

Question of the day - do I want my cannoli with my coffee now or in a couple hours with my tea?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I haven't had enough coffee yet to formulate a good "take the cannoli" joke.

I will take such a joke as having been made.

I decided to have it with coffee.

I am not entirely certain I had breakfast before I left the house. That seems like something I should know one way or the other.

While sitting in my review, I convinced myself that it had started at 11, because I am STARVING. Maybe I'll have a snack.

Nora, what's going on?

One of the advantages of working a short week should be being able to sleep in on your day off, when the rest of the world is going to work. Sadly, I cannot do that when I have Dad's dog here, because the little guy starts whining and barking around 6AM.

I gave up at 6:30 and let them both out, and then went back to bed, which at least they let me do.
