You will all be impressed to know that I bought my mother's last Christmas present.
I have no fucking clue what to get my dad, of course.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My bird feeder committed suicide by squirrel. It's dead, Jim.

Australia is voting for gay marriage today! (actually, tomorrow, but today is already tomorrow in Australia). Go Australia!

I am in the meeting from hell, and I woke up to news of a couple of mistakes I made yesterday. I hate everyone, including myself.

2 hours and counting. I need breakfast.

Sorry, Dana.
Hooray Australia!
I stopped by Grocery Outlet between the bus stop and work to look for a belt because my jeans fit is not quite right (I pulled these jeans out of a box yesterday, the size is right again but I forgot that they never actually fit me well). Failed to find a belt, but I did get a bag of Hershey's Kisses and (inspired by msbelle) silver boot/slippers to keep at my desk for when my feet hurt.

Grocery outlet has belts??
Come on, Aussies, vote love!
Work is making me want to smack people around.

Not today, no. They have a tiny selection of random clothing items, you never know what might be there. Today was mostly slippers, socks and some fleece jackets. Fortunately I should be able to stay in my chair most of the day so the misfitting jeans shouldn't bother me too much...

I have had leftover andouille corn chowder and sent a mea culpa email. I feel better. Except for having been in an almost 3-hour meeting where PMs suddenly came up with a whole bunch of new stuff that needs to be documented, which they have never mentioned in previous meetings.

I've gotten casual pants and a workout-type jacket (with thumbholes in the sleeves!) at Grocery Outlet. Good prices, but it's all about timing.
-t, depending on how loose, maybe run a zip tie through a couple belt loops in the back to tighten the waistband a smidge? Or if your workplace isn't the type where you can find zip ties, maybe a binder clip? (Trying to think what I've jury-rigged for myself in similar situations).
