Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, flea! Agree with everyone else.

Also, after they asked for the demonology books I was like, "Sure! Let me look up the call number," and the one girl said to the other, quietly, "See, they don't judge."

I used a class session last week to talk about demonology, tracing its influence on theories of mental illness up to the current day, rejecting it as an empirically supported explanation, but acknowledging the inferiority of fairly recent "scientific" explanations of disease (e.g. the common cold caused by dampness or swamp gasses)to the demonology alternative (common cold cause by an unseen creature that invades the person and takes over the machinery of the body until it can be destroyed or expelled).

I'm sure that's what they were looking for.

Ouch, flea. I'm sure you're taking plenty of pictures.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm going to die before 2 PM gets here. (I can't leave until 2 because early bird parking.)

I mean, I'll have to get back to work when I get home, but I have had, quite literally, one 30 minute period so far today when I was not in a meeting/on a call. Starting at 6:30.

This week has already kicked my ass.

flea, document and complain! And also get yourself something nice at Zappos.

I just had an absurd work conversation about panties and sexy nuns.

Jabber is now giving webex ideas. Volumes rising and falling on people's sessions and mine kept switching from my headset to my laptop audio. Ahrg.

demonology alternative (common cold cause by an unseen creature that invades the person and takes over the machinery of the body until it can be destroyed or expelled).

...sounds a lot like germs to me!

Oh, man. I have fallen down a NSFW rabbit hole.

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

Timelies all!

Back from services. Gary has gone to get the little guy from daycare. After that, just relaxing.

That is hilarious
