I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Well, I ran into a coworker at the bus stop this morning, so at least I knew I was in the right place.

I was going to take that literally (because I am having the kind of Monday where I would mean that literally (not that I have run into anyone, all my little fuckups this morning have been of the type to harm only me)) before I remembered where you are AND that you would not have rented a car and driven it to the bus stop to commute to work.

Ah, there's my coffee. That will help.

It was less "run into" and more "hey, I think I know that guy, yeah, I do know that guy" as I approached on foot.

I hit snooze and didn't have time to get coffee this morning. My brain is crying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I came in this morning to my office and apparently I had gotten the carpet wet when I defrosted my fridge on Friday (I thought I had gotten it all with towels, which I took home and washed). My office smells like mildewed diapers. I now have a fan, and baking soda, although I have no idea how I will vacuum it up, because only the cleaners have access to vaccuums.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Guh, this morning is not working for me. My tummy was unhappy yesterday and it still isn't happy with me today. I want to sleep. SLEEP. But alas, I have too much work to even consider a mental health day. Then again, my computer is going so slow this morning, I'm getting micronaps while I await queries.

Jack and I were out and about all day Saturday, from the stables to a picnic and I think I used up every ounce of socializing I had stored up. Cave. Where is my cave?

Pretty sure they have coffee in Googletown.

As I understand it every desk has a gerbil feeder of espresso you can suck on as you work.

It was the lack of coffee for the commute from the City to Googletown. I've got a coffee staging area on my visitor desk now.

They don't have coffee IVs you can jack into on the bus? Well, I'm disillusioned.

Um, Suzi, taking a sick day because your stomach's upset is just a regular sick day. Physical ailment and all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What -t said.

The higher-up I'm traveling with has the best rich person problems - he's made calls about issues with his boats and pool, and I think he just booked a private plane. Maybe he will be flying it? Good thing I like him, or he would be unbearable.

That's hilarious, Jesse. Check his shoes for diamonds.
