I have had like 3 breakfasts and I'm still hungry. I would have thought Dana's record-breaking roach would have a little bit of an appetite suppressant effect, but apparently not.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Since I work for a company that makes software that lets you sketch out houses for insurance purposes, I've been sketching out my new apartment and figuring out which furniture I'm taking and where I'm putting it. It's the most fun part of what I do, playing with floorplans.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, sorry for the blathering, but this is the one thing I really cannot deal with. I'm going to have to ask my neighbor to deal with it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The giant roach is usually a waterbug. They are 100% harmless, but TOO FUCKING BIG.

As the weather cools, the arachno-migration begins. Normally I waft them to the corners of the room with a puff of air, because I appreciate their bug-eating ways. The one I saw on the kitchen floor last night was particularly black and sleek and shiny, though, so I apologized and stomped on it.
I will not miss the wildlife, in my second-floor apartment.

Oh, ha, someone sent out an email the whole facility and it's gotten two Reply-all responses. The first is a "friendly reminder" to people not to Reply-all if only the sender needs to see the reply. The second is a grumpy rejoinder that senders could bcc everyone and avoid the possibility of accidental reply-alls. No other responses. This is cracking me up possibly more than it should.
That's very cool about the floor plan sketching, Connie. I've done that with graph paper all my life and have been unsuccessful at finding an available app that will easily do it digitally.

You probably don't want to jump through the numerous hoops and sign-ups required to get the 30-day demo of our program. You certainly don't want to pay the 4-digit cost to buy the thing for a year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Dana -- that sounds terrible and I might just walk away and never go back.

That also came up! Are you sure you're not my coworker Steve?

Does Google SketchUp still exist?
