it doesn't really make sense to get a cat yet since we don't know when/if we'll go back to london. and if we do, it would suck to have to put a new pet through the crazy quarantine!

I finally figured out where my cat left that rogue turd one day while she was mad at me. I lived with it for days before that, though. Lots of febreeze and window opening. Really kind of a nightmare.

Quick Bitch
I just discovered another coworker who is pissed at me for being out yesterday. Male Coworker comes to my desk and asks me where he can find some checks for some draw he's working on and I don't know where they are kept for that project, so he heads to Accountant. Accountant calls me from her desk telling me it doesn't exist and all those checks came out of another common file and I should get them there. BUT he's at her desk at the very back of the office AND the files are in the drawer BESIDE her desk in alphabetical order... So then he comes all the way up to the front and hands me the same paper again. Then I go to the very back to her desk while she's sitting there and take out the two pieces he needs and go and copy them.

That's a v. good point, C.

Rogue Turd was way better as a four piece.

Sarah, did she know where the papers were?

This is a more recent Onion article on cats that made me laugh:

Point/Counterpoint: Cats Are Better Than Dogs

I do similar things around here sometimes, but usually b/c it's easier for me to just get something than to explain where it is, and possibly have my directions be met with confusion and more questions.

(The answer to "where is ________ document?" is more often than not, "On J's coffee table" or "Under J's desk.")

xpost- I liked that point-counterpoint a lot

She knew they were there though right beside her. It would have taken her 5 seconds to grab them out! I wouldn't have minded getting them if I knew they were there in the first place. She was just being deliberately annoying.

you were out yesterday?

Yup. I was out sick.

lol @ counterpoint

yeah, I hadn't seen that one. Cat lady vs. bro: no contest.

I'm in sick today.

Blech.

sick sucks :(

i've been hitting airborn, vitamins, coldeez every day just to keep this cold from taking hold basically

Old curve on LSD (from that streets website)

Frankfort, like most of Will County, is barely a suburb.

that LSD photo is great-- when's it from?

1963

That S curve would have sucked and been a collision-magnet.

I need to stop making crossword puzzles because once I start one, it is very very hard to take a break, even if I should be working. Anyway, I did a theme one, or at least kind of a theme one, and it turned out all right. I'll link to it later.

do you mean because you get involved in it, or because of that fucking demo software? :>

i've resisted downloading it at work, and i'm dying to make another one but i won't have the time until next week at the earliest

I mean because I get involved in it.

Btw, Jordan, I did that Tausig puzzle this morning: did you notice he used "half a rack" for ANTLER??

so you 'found' them on your own band's web site?

nice job sherlock

there's a lot of weird shit buried in that site! i had never even looked through it before, i just look at the "dates" page to see when i have to leave the house :>

you see, you marry your band members, while my band is structured more like a temp agency

to be fair, i only married one band member
