I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I might sleep-sardine.

Oh my gawd, Loki is so neurotic. And whiny.

Every time I think they're done with the cutting, it starts up again. I haven't ventured back over yet, but will need to go grab lunch soon.

I suppose that's one way to describe them.

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

Changing a Neko Atsume kitty's name to Dana now.

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

Today is becoming an exercise in not being able to do much because of other people. Waiting. Getting interrupted to deal with a problem. Technical issues. Equipment unavailable.

Janitors in our office used to move things about randomly. It was frustrating.

Oh man. I was just telling a friend about when I used to work as a temp in my early 20s. I had an assignment for about six months with a host of other people coming in to Blue Cross and processing claims after hours when they were in some sort of crunch.

For one thing, they gave us bonuses (like $5) for getting through the most each shift. Since it wasn't any of our actual jobs, we'd of course cherry pick all the simple and easy ones and leave the complicated stuff for the actual employees. (Except when I'd see a big thick one for like breast cancer, and I'd go through and approve everything no matter what the guidelines said.)

But we also totally ransacked the place, shifting chairs around, rearranging the desks, changing people's radio stations. Not maliciously or as a prank or anything - just a whole bunch of young kids who had never had a real office job and didn't have the slightest inkling how aggravating that must have been. To this day I cringe thinking of what those women had to go through dealing with our thoughtless crap every day when they came in to work.

So I ran over to get food and oh, cleaning the floors was so pointless.

It's super gusty and Loki is running around growling when the wind howls
