Our wings are not tired.

He's not going to win. The brainiacs told me so. [link] Also, I am back home finally so I can vote tomorrow, personally guaranteeing a Clinton win in Florida.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Let me know if you want me to hook you up with a stainless steel pan, our outlet sale is starting soon.

Ooooh! I should replace my small, scratched up non-stick.

I am back home finally so I can vote tomorrow, personally guaranteeing a Clinton win in Florida.

The power of Laura is mighty!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm presently parked at my mechanic garage, hoping they're working today. CHECK ENGINE light came on during my first ride this morning.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, now I have yet another reason to drink.

If I didn't have a job to do, a cat to feed, and a modicum of respect for my liver, I would spend the next 11 days toasted.

Good luck with the car stuff, Theodosia.

I've been here since just before 8; so far, I'm the ONLY person in the wing. Creepy.

Damn straight! Therefore as a special birthday present for aurelia I shall grant a Clinton win in 11 days. Happy birthday!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad I have one coworker who is always here by 7:30 -- I've never been the first person in! That would be creepy.

It's so interesting to me how subtle communication things give the wrong impression. Remember how I was made to hire someone on to my team? She's been growing on me, because she really is smart and capable, so that's good. But this morning she sent me an email about a family emergency, which stated that she has to leave at noon and asked if we could touch base about the project she's working on. It rubbed me the wrong way to a degree that is probably not fair! If she had asked if she could leave, of course I would have said yes. And of course I want to talk about her project before she does! But you don't ask me to touch base, missy!

Anyway, getting over that before we do speak this morning.....

My work day starts super early, but in my jammies on my sofa. My customer base starts work about 5 AM (surgical centers), so if they have any issues my phone rings early. I don't purposely start working until about 6:30. Yawn.

Someone burnt toast, so clearly I am no longer the only one here.

Old officemate got in at or before 7, as did several other people on my old hall. So it's weird being THE morning person here. Especially since I am the most grudging morning person ever.

How can McMullin become president if he only wins one state?

Calli beat me to it. I think it has a good 0.2% chance of happening.
