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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

THREE HOURS. And four minutes.

Good luck, Sheryl. I didn't love seeing that they're starting to recommend getting colonoscopies at 45 rather than 50. I mean, yes, health, good.

Freedom!

He's on his way back to the airport. Sounded like it went well, if not knock-out-of-the-park well. Depends on salary, mostly. So I guess we'll see.

The Daily Show has a Trump pardon bingo card, and one of the corners is OJ. And he totally would. There's got to be at least a 50% chance he's going to do it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Dana, well, I'm already 50, so this was inevitable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hope it's as easy a process as it can be, Sheryl.

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

Ugh, we're gonna have a mandatory active shooter training at work. Do not want.

Ugh. I've heard that our insurance company want us to do that but so far the boss has resisted. I think the compromise was having armed security while the building is open to the public. I don't particularly love that either, but at least they're subtle about it.

Happy Pride Month!

And happy National Donut Day! So far today I have

  • Checked my email
  • Checked Facebook
  • Saw that it was National Donut Day
  • Ordered donuts and ran out to pick them up
  • Chatted with my coworkers

I guess I need to do some work now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I almost got donuts this morning! It must have been a subliminal National Donut Day impulse.

Ah well -- I think there will be other treats at a focus group I'm going to in a bit.

I did some work, checked in with my boss about it, and she said I didn't need to do it! So the half-job I've done already is actually a favor to the people who could have been doing it all along. This makes me feel good about myself rather than that I wasted my morning.

Timelies all!

Well, it's done. I was out for all of it. They found one polyp, so I'll have to go back in 5 years, not 10, but otherwise it went well.
