Nice, Laura! That's very much how I feel about Facebook - for all that i often hate it, there's nothing else that will keep me in contact with certain people who I would miss very much.
If I was the kind of person who paid attention to omens I would not be at work right now. Many many small but annoying signs.
Maybe I should try that lifestyle. I've been here half an hour and just now was able to get my coffee and haven't checked me email yet because my one coworker wanted to tell me how things went with some of my accounts (two out of three kinda fucked up; one just waiting on the customer as usual) so I assume my email will be full of other disasters. Guess I can't delay any longer...
OTOH, I am proud of myself for not looking at my work email even once while I was off.
Hahaha that third account is more of a mess than my backup knew. Awesome. Why does everything hit the fan whenever one takes a vacation?
Time off so often just means more headaches and work. Good on you for not looking at work email!
In the crypts at St. Michan's?
Yes! Where you get to shake the hand of the crusader, but really it's more like you touch him. I was surprised at the number of folk who turned down the option.
Why does everything hit the fan whenever one takes a vacation?
Because you are not there to clean it up, obviously.
In Ireland? I wonder if it was the same mummy hand that I touched once? Dang, that was decades ago.
In the crypts at St. Michan's?
Welp, gotta go back to Ireland.
in re cats:
non-cat owners, hearing a weird noise at night: oh god, this is it for me, i'm done for. that's got to be a serial killer who climbed in the window, or a ghost, or perhaps satan himself to drag my soul to the pits of hell
cat owners, hearing a weird noise at night: god damn it scooter go to bed
This particular cat owner, hearing a weird noise at night:
Look at nearest cat to see if he cares. If he doesn't care, it's nothing. If he cares, it's one of the other cats. If he cares way too much, it's an animal outside. If he hides, it's a human - oh no!
Scooter, ha. I'm naming a cat Scooter. I need moar catz. (No, I really don't.)
Quick question for my Jewish friends. My husband's ex wife just had a baby girl on the 12th and I would like to send her a congratulations card because I'm courteous and the baby never did anything to me. Is there a Hebrew salutation that is appropriate or is there anything that is not appropriate to say in a card, is there anything that I need to know about that I should or shouldn't do. Thanks!
Todd, I have often reflected that one of the reasons I like having cats is that it keeps from getting too paranoid about living alone. The dog is probably better for letting me know if there ever was an intruder or something.
