One more episode of Parks and Rec, because this is the one with the walk across the ice ring.
Also Ben is making calzones.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We are taking part in our neighborhood garage sale tomorrow. It helps us get rid of the TON of stuff we don't want to move. The downside is the DH and I have to stay up tonight sorting and pricing stuff and we have to be ready to sell stuff at 8:00am.

Every time I hear that song on the radio, or in a store, I laugh my ass off.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just got lost in a FAQ/Etiquette pages rabbit hole and now I just want to give the board a great big hug. {{{YOU GUYS!}}}

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw to Jess
I still would like the option to pick up a meal at the Local Low Cal Calzone Zone

Coworkers at play:
"Ahh! This customer is giving me a stroke!"
"You have strokes, you don't get given strokes."
And mere seconds later, "And you get a stroke! And you get a stroke! Everybody gets a stroke!"
"Dude, if I could give people strokes, I'd be firing up my Amazon gift list and sending them to everybody I know."
"Are you tired of having strokes at random, without the ability to plan for them! Now you can get a stroke at your convenience! Give them to your friends!"
I think they're getting a little punchy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
And I am twelve cause my brain read "giving strokes" in a very dirty way.

Lol Suzi! And yes that definitely sounds punch drunk!!
It's so pretty outside today here and I do not want to be indoors in meetings but I am.
Also had someone email me at 1130pm to say "I got the tracker but can you update X part of it?" (Not easy it's a very complex tracker which is ridiculous for tsnown reasons). He emailed me again at 1130am to ask where it was. I'd been in meetings for his project from 9-1130. Jesus dude.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We have a requirement only for the cardiology journal that if we're going to change the title in ANY way (that includes spelling out something that was abbreviated), we have to email the editor-in-chief of the journal as well as the managing editor and our own coordinator, with a detailed description of why we are "proposing to change" the title.
My dude, I am editing according to the gotdamn AMA Style Manual, and if it says that abbreviations should be spelled out in titles, then why in the hell do I have to email you about it?
Literally, my email said "I am proposing this title change because our guidelines as explained in the AMA Style Manual (page whatever) state that abbreviations are to be spelled out in titles, and this title contains an abbreviation."
That is some serious micromanaging bullshit there. If you don't know what your own publication's style manual says, maybe you aren't qualified to be editor of that publication.
