After three years of posting things around here, I just know that like me, you don't give this board your undivided attention all of the time. 

So what are you doing while you're posting here?

Me?  Right now, between my pull-out keyboard and monitor lies my smallest cat, Baby.  And right at this moment she's purring and occasionally dabbing her little pink nose on my fingers.  Other times she hangs her butt over the keyboard and swishes her tail around, which tends to make it very hard to type.  It's so cute, it kills me.  Other times her sister Zha Zha is in the same spot, only she likes to lick my fingers while I type.

Earlier, I was eating CUNT yogurt and an All Bran cereal bar while reading posts. 

Also, I am still in my Pajamas, and need a shower quite badly.

I just finished my daily form letters to all the people listed in the arrest reports in the newspaper.  I'm getting ready to continue goofing off for a minute, then I'm expecting a potential client at 3:00.

I'm in my second-to-last week of doing this scientist gig full time, and here I post in between packing up big boxes of hands-on, kid friendly science experiments. We're about done with our summer day camps, and when I'm done here I will go put our day about nature back into storage.

Dear Smells,

I am currently at work and debating the merits of it.  Next to me is a huge cup of water which I am sipping slowly, thoughtfully if you will, in order to counter balance the big "Fuck YOU" cup of espresso I had for no reason earlier.

There is a window about 10-feet away and I just took a break from composing this missive to stare out at the barren strip mall across the massive (4,000+ cars) parking lot.  The heathaze coming off all that asphalt is sort of dizzyingly enticing, but it only looks that way from up here.  Damned if that smog isn't going to be fun to drive through while heading home in about 3 hours.

I have headphones on one ear as to block out the coworkers, and a headset to my phone on the other to listen in on an emergency outage call while I fix servers.  In between shit I actually have to do and mind-numbing useless bureaucratic whatever, I refresh the board and post this inane answer to a question which, may I remind you, you asked.

Later, I just might get more water.  It is that exciting around here during the day.  And now you know why my online time is ridiculous on this board.

Much Love,
Q

My cat is digging his claws into my thighs. Help. The clacking of the keyboard and the latest Dresden Dolls album do nothing to alleviate his clawing.

I am at "work," AKA an unpaid internship in the Human Genetics department at a local university/graduate school/medical college, where I spend three days every week assisting in the lab.  Like Q, I am staring out the window next to the computer at which I type.  I see a highway, some old brick warehouses that are probably in the process of being refurbished and made into trendy loft apartments, and a CSX train at a dead stop on the railroad tracks next to the highway.  There are also trees and two water towers and lots of cars.

I just finished loading a gel, which will be finished in approximately an hour and a half.  When this time has elapsed, I will put my rubber gloves back on, carry the gel in the tray over to the UV lightbox, and photograph it.  Afterward, I will carefully dispose of the gel in the proper receptacle and rinse off the gel tray and cover.  In between now and when the gel finishes, I may go up two floors to wash the dishes we have accumulated in the frighteningly high-tech dishwasher I just learned how to use by attending a session on operating it and the autoclave.

I am bored just typing this.

What, are there no ambulances to chase in Louisville?

What, are there no ambulances to chase in Louisville?

I thought the exact same thing.


And what do I do?  Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

Listening to The Bridge by Neil Young.  and that's it.  Enjoying the California sunshine.  Waiting for the bus.  Teaching myself to sing.  Anyone know a good bar in London?

I am sitting here, in an undershirt and shorts, debating whether to eat dinner with my girlfriend and friends (pay money! see your girlfriend who just got back from Italy! you missed her! your friends will be there!) and my family (normally you have work at dinnertime, so you haven't had a good meal for dinner in like 2 weeks! you won't have to pay! your mom might cry if you say you'd rather have dinner with your girlfriend!). I think I will choose the healthy option and eat at home. my room is dark, because I never opened the shades this morning. my room is also a big mess.

dinner is some kind of giraffe. yum.

Let me just say that I am very surprised no-one has yet made the obligatory suggestive comment regarding masturbating while posting.

That's actually the act of posting itself around here if you think about it.

[theinevitable]

yeah, I clicked on this topic first so that I could see what funny joke Q had made. and then I was admiring the restraint of the board, and then I was disappointed in Judy for bringing it up and then...

 I have to go get some tissues or something. more on this at 11.

That may be the first time people have said "funny" and "Q" in the same sentence... also clicked on purpose in anticipation.


I'm scared, someone (Hobot) hold me!

I'm scared, someone (Hobot) hold me!

There there, everything will be okay!  *Soothing coos*

UPDATE: I am sitting in the dark in my room (I have a terrible headache, yay!) drinking limeade.  Delicious.
