Have you discovered a new super power, Theo? Piercing skin without drawing blood - of limnited use, sure, butthat's true of many super powers.

I understand that cats often kill their prey by breaking the neck and don't leave wounds as such unless they tear into it afterwards.

I've seen ads for Meet the Mormons. I think it's available On Demand?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You'll probably end up giving primate blood, Theo.

Wow, I'm watching Graham Norton, and I feel uncomfortable calling Taylor Swift stupid. Either it's a really canny sctick, and she's a blast, or she's...not that quick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes it sucks to be the grownup, msbelle, but I hope you went home!

Devi pretty much played with mice until they expired. She never mastered the kill bite.

20 minutes home from the pool and THUNDER. Can't say I was really expecting that.

Survived today. Actually played key role in certain developments. But I did duck out of a meeting at 15 past the scheduled end. I hate it when the host can't keep on track or END a meeting.

Dang, serious light show for late October.

Leaving work over an hour late. So it goes.

A good meeting starts on time and ends on time, I am told, sarameg.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Still working. Drawback of working from home. Also of having the West Coast as part of your territory.

And things are afoot with one of my previous employers. Just got a cryptic message from the old EVP via LinkedIn. He wants me to call him tomorrow. Please do not be bringing me into shenanigans. My current boss is his former direct report, and a number of our sales force and strategic consulting groups also worked closely with him previously. (Yes, my Current Employer can be called Previous Employer-East.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Still working. Drawback of working from home.

I feel that. (Upside: dress code is NO PANTS FOREVER!)

Strix, keep hope. We had one cat that took a winter sabbatical in someone else's home. We thought he'd been plowed into a snowbank, and came back fat and smelling of woodsmoke. My own cat decided on a two week vacation (or maybe her kidnapper decided to release her after my Wanted posters went up. I was a fucking mess those weeks with her gone).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did come home. No drama tonight. My mother suggests I yell less.

Well, thanks, mom? Yelling, while not exactly productive, can be a valve when necessary.

Grace had equipment issues last night so I was up to 1:00 AM waiting for the DME delivery. Really? Sigh.
