Sending a "kindly following up" email at 7:15am will not get a response to the "urgent request" you sent at 8:30pm the night before any faster.

LOL--I've had that happen. Makes me LESS inclined to deal with your issue first thing! Usually it's people on the east coast or in Europe who aren't thinking and don't realize I'm not yet in the office...

Killing Time is the infamous novel where the super-slashy stuff accidentally slipped through, and they changed it for the next printing.

So wait, there are slashy and less slashy versions, out there?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yep. First edition is different from subsequent editions.

Our wings are not tired.

Northern blood vs Southern blood. It is ~60F outside so I have on an undershirt, long sleeve shirt, jacket, long pants and socks. I drive to my sisters and pass a house where dude is lying out on a lawn chair in just his bathing shorts catching rays! I mean it is sunny and nice out, but COLD!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

For me, it's relative to the preceding season -- in the spring, when it hits 60 degrees, it is time for shorts and playing sports outside and all manner of warm-weather shenanigans. In the fall, when it hits 60 degrees, it's time to fucking hibernate because the ice weasels are on the way.

Exactly!

HIvemind - ideas for something my boss could get me for company celebration. He bought male counterparts various craftsmen tools. I don't need tools. There is some policy against gift cards. Need to spend like $65.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

From a while south of Laura, the sun is still pretty warm today! So I would definitely have more clothes on than that, but it is a great day to lie in the sun.

msbelle, what do you need for the new house? I'm trying to think of other housewares and only coming up with like shower curtains, which is a pretty weird gift.

Oh! I also have a hivemind question: at work, we are doing "famous advertisements" for Halloween. Any good ideas? I can also use my office, so was thinking maybe Folger's Crystals? I can wear whatever but turn my office in a restaurant?

Coding and Sleeping

Can you use solid wood as just an edging for the door?

That's a good idea
