I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry about the car accident, chrismg.

Hec, I'll join in the "that's soooooome, bullshit!" chorus.

Consuela, I hope everything stops jumping on you asap.

Today's a work-from-home day for me. I started it with a quick look at my checking account. Last week I'd stopped a monthly transfer from checking to my IRA (work's kicking in some matching $$ for their 401K, so I'm switching to that for now). Except, it turned out that the bank heard "stop the monthly transfer" as "change the monthly transfer to a daily transfer" which is the exact opposite of what I wanted, times 7. I called the bank and had the reassuring experience of watching the money get transferred back into my checking account in real time. But still, that was quite the wake-up experience.

Consuela, huge props for getting out of bed. I'm already regretting doing the same, and I'm just exhausted and grumpy. Your Nemesis can fuck right off.

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

Oh, wow, Calli, that's a pretty radical interpretation. Glad you could get it fixed!

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

My ex boss is getting or has gotten in trouble. I hope this is the first step of a path to him leaving the company. He is a hugely unethical, divisive, troublemaker.

Consuela, it sounds like you have a sucky thing going right now. I am so sorry.

An octopus has made a brazen escape from the national aquarium in New Zealand by breaking out of its tank, slithering down a 50-metre drainpipe and disappearing into the sea.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm home because the little guy had his 9 month checkup(time flies, doesn't it?). He's fine and continuing to grow well.

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

Somewhere there is a world where octopuses rule us all.

I don't regret getting out of bed, but I do wish this migraine would go away. I'm out of ideas to defeat it, so I'm just going to have to wait it out. Fortunately, it's not debilitating, but it doesn't fill me with sunshine.

It might be this one. Donald Trump for Prez is the number one comedy on Octopus TV.

Eek, Calli, that's scary to discover!! (Though part of me goes "monthly trasfer to an IRA? I'm not an adult yet I guess...")

And My Nemesis is badgering me for a thing which I haven't done, because if I have the option, the stuff for her gets ranked below stuff for people who, you know, treat me like decent human beings do.

Hah! Serves her right.
