JFC people stop coming to me about a non-urgent non-problem when I am trying to work on something that actually is time sensitive.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In the last 24 hours, I have been asked the exact same question by the Texas librarian, a secretary in Texas, a paralegal in Texas, and one of the LA librarians, who asked me because a partner in Texas asked him. IF YOU DON"T LIKE MY ANSWER STOP ASKING ME.
It's kind of embarrassing when grown adults use the same tactics as my 10 year old son.

I never had my tea today (I was in a meeting at my usual tea brewing time). No wonder I'm all aggravated with everybody.
Besides them being aggravating, I mean.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The stupid mail order pharmacy called with an automated call which said to press 0 to be connected to someone. Which I did, and the person I was connected with had no idea why I'd gotten a phone call. Super-efficient there, pharmacy.

THat is impressive. OK, I am leaving before anyone else asks me anything else or does something stupid that requires my involvement.

Dear blood tech,
Do not say, "Thank the lord." when you finally get blood after several painful sticks. From my point of view, if there had been a deity involved, he would have acted sooner.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But she was just in the window FLIPPING HER LID at another cat outside! Dag, baby!
There's a cat in our neighborhood. He clearly has people, but he spends most of his time outside walking the block. He seems like a perfectly nice cat, at least to our human senses.
We have decided that his cat name is Eastasia. Because we have always been at war with.

Good one, amych.
Not so good, blood tech.
There's apparently a fire closing the 80. Maybe I should pay attention to the news for a bit...
