I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A useful tip - in one week, if someone you don't know well asks you what you think of the election results, a safe response is, "I'm so glad it's over."
OK, that's probably better than the response I was thinking of: "I welcome the cleansing fire that will purge this country of its madness."

Or maybe this quote from Hector in Westworld:
"I believe that only the truly brave can look at the world and understand that all of it… gods, men, everything else… will end badly. No one will be saved."

ION, I just noticed that my windows do not have curtain rods. I have blinds, but I have no place to put curtains. From what I've seen of the light coming out of my neighbors' places, none of the apartments have curtains. The place was built in the mid-90s. Is this an interior design trend or somewhere the builders/owners cut corners? (Thought it's certainly made some decorating decisions easy)

Are the windows cut in enough that you could put up tension rods (if you wanted to)?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My townhouse was built in the 1990s and there were only blinds. I hung the curtain rods above the window frames.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think there's some danger in complacency if people who don't love Clinton (even as they hate Trump) don't feel like they need to vote -- Brexit, FARC, etc. But not that much danger that he'll actually win, or even come close.
Okay, next thing you're going to tell us is that someone brought puppies for the babies to play with and you all got to snuggle the puppies.
I KNOW, RIGHT?? Sadly, no puppies, and now the babies are gone. That was really an exceptionally charming group of babies.

Wow. I love coming back to work after a long vacation to get a performance review about how my work isn't particularly valued and my projects aren't high profile enough, and do I maybe want to move to another team.
Love. It.

Ah, shrift, that sucks. I'm sorry.
Thank you, Buffistae, for calming my election nerves. The Nate Silver piece saying Trump does have a path to victory gave me a minor panic attack.

I need to save a template for posts about authors that are ridiculous. Then I could just paste it in the posting box and save time.
(This one is traveling for a week and therefore can't review and return his article by this Friday. When I asked if one of his co-authors could review it in his place [this is not an unusual thing], he literally replied with "No. Call me immediately about this." Fuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooooooou. Plus, I have to leave for a doctor's appointment in 15 minutes, so: nooooooooooooooooo. I'm hoping my coordinator [who I forwarded the email to] can call him. She's nicer than I am anyway.)
