Me = totally exhausted and out of sorts from the machinations of work and my brain. I have developed an ability to fall asleep on the couch, in front of the computer, in the car (parked, not driving!), and sitting straight up. Also, a strong desire for a punching bag. Pity there is no room in the house for that ( Read more... )

My co-worker has taped a paper sign with 'Arbeit Macht Frei' onto his desk.  It's a good thing our bosses neither know German or 20th century history or he'd probably be in a fair amount of trouble.

My other co-worker sent me a pattern for a cross stitched version of Catullus 16. If I cross stitched I'd be tempted to make it and put it up on my ( Read more... )

The only Halloween-themed thing I can think of to share today is that I had a work-related dream this week.  It was storytime and there were kids and I woke up because one of them was poking me in the eye with a fork and CLEARLY I have some issues with  storytime.  Hey, the last work related dream I remember had to do with a patron bringing in a ( Read more... )

I'm currently looking for creative ways to use 'emoragequit' in a sentence such as:  My toenail emoragequit on me and is falling off.  TRUE STORY.  Aren't you glad you now know that ( Read more... )

I have 12 minutes of work left before I am free!

Then I go back across the river to hang out with EL and the birdies.  There will probably be television and possible more kitchen experimenting (yesterday was 'Coupling' and meatballs).

It's 64.9  degrees in here.  So glad to go outside and thaw out!

 I just got harassed by one customer who wanted to know what TV shows I watched and I gave him a vague (we're not supposed to talk about our personal lives/preferences/opinion in detail or socialize excessively) oh this and that answer and he got unpleasant, declaring with scorn "I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"  This was after he asked me to ( Read more... )

It's Wednesday on payweek.  Which of course means, it's time for me to see Boss #2 shuffling up to me with the timesheet I turned in yesterday.    The dialogue usually goes something like this:

Boss #2:  Your nine's downstroke needs to be longer.  I know what it is, but Boss #1 has a thing about nines.  And these two need to have the loop completely ( Read more... )

Don't miss xkcd today.

My roommate is out of town and her cat has become lonely desperate enough to seek out my company.  I have to say that the cat-jumping-on-your-feet alarm clock is preferably to the godawful-annoying-noise alarm clock.  It makes me more likely to get up when I should and get to work on time.  Not that it really matters, since ( Read more... )

I nearly spelled 'random' as 'randon. It looks like it should be a word.

'A regular patron at the library asked me today if I was recovered from my injury. I blinked and tried to remember if I had been injured recently. The poison ivy case from hell is healed now although I have fading scars, the ankle and wrist injuries are decently in the ( Read more... )
