Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

dreaming of Peggy Carter cosplay

I'm gonna say that would be appropriate even at a non-costume wedding. Stylish!

Didn't you just get a new shared cube a little while ago, Suzi? I remember you worrying about how much space to take up with your stuff...

Didn't ask for no dime, Scola.

Eeeeeeeeeeee Starbucks order-on-the-phone-and-pickup is available in my area! I am delaying testing it out (with the new Fall flavored latte customized to my specifications) until I have worked in the yard a couple of hours because I am a responsible adult. Yes.

Yeah, people will just think you're retro rather than dressed for Halloween!

Punishingly Intricate

I'm slightly disappointed that this Halloween I will be at a non-costume wedding.

WHAT?! Why would you have your wedding on Hween and not have it be at least optionally costume??

I've been trying to re-do my resume as a skills-based one, rather than just chronological, and it's the hardest thing ever. It's worse than doing annual reviews!Or, possibly, I'm very lazy. (I'll leave that out of the resume.) But I promised my friend who's doing job coaching with me that I'd send him a draft by the end of the day today so I HAVE to work on it. But I'm actually working at two different jobs today. Stupid procrastination!

Aw, Yogi Berra passed away.

"It ain't over 'til it's over."

One of the best to ever play the game.

The person from Kaiser is probably questioning my sanity. When I picked up the phone, I accidentally hit speakerphone. Switching from speakerphone hangs up the phone. Kaiser calls come from a generic main number, so I couldn't hit redial, and I don't have her department's phone number. I therefore asked her to call me right back. She said, "Right back right back?" and I said, "Yes."

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

You never know when a random dude in a motorized hangglider will fly over your house and hover over you as you run out and wave at him. Now I wonder if he had a GoPro and I just got filmed.

OMG, the quote along was a blast!! I had forgotten how much love I have for that movie.

Yes-ish. I was moved into a shared cube in the old building but never had another person actually assigned to share, so I just had a bigger cube to myself. Now I actually have to share (says the only child who never learned how to do that well).

Jack update. Doing well, but this frequent pee-ing thing may take a month or two to go away as his kidneys heal. Which means we can't leave him alone for more than a couple of hours. It is going to be a challenge. He is lucky he is so sweet.

Points to our resident goth. (No, that's not a costume, that's her dress.)

And Calli, *I* saw Blindspot ... I imagine it would go in either Procedurals or Boxed Set ....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

True! I resisted buying so many cute dresses yesterday! But actually, I think the wedding will be pretty casual.

I mean, maybe they have people who will insist on costumes? My friend said her costume is "most expensive dress she will ever buy."
