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.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

The interesting thing I've learned from Wikileaks is that things are pretty much the way one suspects they are.

And of course I want to talk about her project before she does! But you don't ask me to touch base, missy!
Since I don't work in an office, I genuinely have no idea: what's the proper way to ask someone higher up than you if the two of you can discuss XYZ project? Is "touch base" something that only goes from higher-up to lower-down?
(None of that is snarky [stupid lack of tone on the internet]. I'm totally serious. Because I wouldn't think anything of asking someone higher up than me if we could touch base about a project.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Therefore as a special birthday present for aurelia I shall grant a Clinton win in 11 days. Happy birthday!
Best. Gift. Ever. Thanks!
I can't get into my workplace unless security has opened the building so I can't be the only one in the building. I have often been the only one on my floor aside from the security desk though.

Because books.
I love being the only person in the bakery, although that's always in the evening when I'm closing, not in the morning. It's so wonderfully quiet when I'm alone there.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I work with crazy people, so by the time I wander in at 7:30 am half my team is already there. (Two of them get here at 5:30 am. I'm not even awake yet.) We also always have someone at the front desk and our Help Desk is here 24/7 so the building is never empty.

Listening to the shocking details this morning DH and I were mostly looking at each other and shrugging at the news that the campaign was competent. Like wow, they prepared themselves for possible questions from the press. How practical! That is some October surprise.

Man, Ohio is red (well, pink) again on 538. Stop it, Ohio!
