The head of our company, who is originally from New York City, is on the phone with a medical researcher who is multiple time zones away.  The man is apparently unhappy about something, and my boss is trying to calm him down. He keeps saying the man's name over and over. I swear to God, his name is Nirand ( Read more... )

I don't know if I've ever talked about the Nuclear Mutant Squirrels. These squirrels that live around my house just plain scare me. Among many other things, they have:
** dragged a peanut butter jar around my backyard while making threatening noises at me as I stood on the deck
** chewed a hole in the kitchen window screen and came in to eat food ( Read more... )

After seeing my post where I made the doll of myself,

So I had this conversation with a friend:

ME: ...Look, boys touching boys, in general, is not interesting to me. Sorry.
FRIEND: But some boys are so hot that it's fun to watch them touch anyone.
ME: OK. True. Like John Barrowman. He's so hot, it doesn't matter WHO he makes out with.
FRIEND: Well, there's got to be SOMEONE who he wouldn't be hot ( Read more... )

So. Our VP of Marketing, who is a nice grey-haired guy, decided to put up a board listing the sales of one of our catheters. And I just now read it closely, and choked as I did. Um...obviously no one else at work has the same dirty mind that I do, but I'm guessing that most of my flist could look at this picture and understand what made me laugh ( Read more... )

Tonight, I worked until nearly 10 pm just because I was at work and it was quiet and I was actually accomplishing things.  And then I came home and (if you are a guy, you should probably stop reading now) because the meds were having no effect on my cramps and it had been almost 4 hours since I had taken them, I used a different kind of painkiller ( Read more... )

JILL: ZOMGWTFBBQ!?

(AP) HAYDEN, Idaho - A man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called 911, authorities said.

The man, in his mid-20s, was calm when Kootenai County sheriff’s deputies arrived Saturday in this northern Idaho town. He was in protective custody ( Read more... )

Today over lunch, the Sylar thread at TWoP continued to be too IQ-deadening to read, so I decided to start catching up on the Hoyay thread. And I discovered something I haven't seen or heard of before. About 3 weeks ago, ibroketuesday posted a link to a Very Special Post in weaselistic's LJ ( Read more... )

Today has been one of those days of suck, where every single thing that happens seems designed to just add to the suck, from the cat uncharacteristically waking me up over an hour before I had to be up, to the cable pixellating and freezing as I was trying to watch TV tonight (probably a sign of renewed Nuclear Mutant Squirrel damage...bah). I don' ( Read more... )

Something suddenly triggered my brain to remember this, and I'm even more irritated than I was at the time it happened.

My phone rang at exactly 8:00 pm this evening.  It was my mother.  I answered it and had this exchange:

Mom: What are you doing?
Me: I'm watching Moonlight.  It's gotten pretty fun to watch.  Plus, I have to take notes for the ( Read more... )
