Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not so sure about this 'examining your heartset and mindset' thing, either.

Yeah. I'd just draw a crude picture of my head, with the inside labeled, "Here Be Dragons."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

There is a largish jillifont on the wall of my bathroom a couple of feet from the toilet. He's been there all day, and I've gotten to the point in my phobia that all I'm doing is keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't come close to me. I named him Bob.

There is a very large one on our back porch who I named Pete. For Peter Parker.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

True, that might actually be worse. At least you can sleep on the shuttle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't wike it.

I totally say that all the time in my head! And sometimes out loud, exactly ala CE.

I'm not so sure about this 'examining your heartset and mindset' thing, either.

I know, right? But it's true my heartset could probably use some work? Just unsure if this training is actually the place for it.

Today's random bit of information: upon her death, Dorothy Parker bequeathed her estate, including the profits from her works, to Martin Luther King. Upon his death, they passed to the NAACP.

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

Yeah, I'm all for introspection in general, but maybe not as part of leadership training at work. i have found when I am honest about my frame of mind in things like that it doesn't go over great (my whole not having plans or goals for the future really boggled everyone in the 7 Habit for Success seminar).

Definitely against jet bridges not working. That is ridiculous, couldn't they let you out via stairs, the old-fashioned way?

Also against 5:50am shuttle, although not as vigorously. It's too early, but I could see doing it on occasion.

Aw, Dorothy Parker, well done.

Dorothy Parker bequeathed her estate, including the profits from her works, to Martin Luther King. Upon his death, they passed to the NAACP.

Which is why her remains are now in a memorial garden at the NAACP headquarters in Baltimore, after they were in her attorney's file cabinet for about 15 years.

Definitely against jet bridges not working.

When I flew into Vegas last month, the bridges at the gates were apparently not compatible with the plane, because they had a ramp down to the tarmac, then another ramp up to the jet bridge. Not what you want to discover at the end of a trip when you're arriving in the middle of a hundred-plus degree summer afternoon. On the way back, when my hip was hurting, I claimed "If anyone may need assistance boarding" early walk-on privileges because we had to do that whole mess again.

Neat, Dorothy Parker!

Apparently there were no stairs to be found--we could SEE some but they said "those are Delta's stairs, they won't let us borrow them". Ridiculous. Though a part of me was hoping for emergency slide!

No plans? Suppose that makes me think "success" might POSSIBLY be defined differently be different people?
