Rough times Mr. Hernandrez.  Sorry man.

[theinevitable]

today, my friend who works at a place I applied to heard them talking about how they haven't started looking at any of the applicants yet. This makes me feel a lot better, as it had been 3 weeks with no word. I feel optimistic. Also: cool job.

I find that product both intriguing and terrifying. I've never tried chew, but mint is one of the top 10 best flavors in the universe. Hm.

Today I'm gonna pawn off the kids on my mom and spend 4 hours organizing the kids toys and taking the old ones to the attic to make room for the Christmas loot before they get even more for their birthdays this month and next. I hope they get more stuff that goes with the sets they already have, because my system is PERFECT now and if I have to figure out how to add more boxes to it in three weeks I will probably have an aneurysm.

Probably adding lots of Legos to their lists. A kid can always use more Legos, right?

Fuckin' A.

If you haven't before, you should try growing it.  Super easy to grow, spreads like wildfire, comes in many interesting varieties (pineapple, chocolate...), and smells great in your garden.

Yup. I grew some this past season. It froze to death during the cold snap we apparently had while I was out of town for Christmas; if I'd been here I would have brought it inside at night. Ah, well. I dried some previously, and our spring growing season starts early.

What kind of person sends an e-mail on Saturday saying "how about a meeting first thing Monday morning?"  WTF.

[jaydub]

Gin up a fake "out of office" reply in which you state how delighted you will be to respond to your business email during the business work week.

this morning there was a cat in our apartment's entryway. Why? Does someone have a pet cat, despite it being against the rules? Did it somehow get in? Is there a cat-tunnel into our basement?

It was doing that screaming things cats do in heat. Or at least, that is what I always imagined a "cat in heat" sounds like. A cat meow-screaming.

There was a problem with the phone system today at work. In order to reach one department a manager sent out an email that instructed us to "leverage" a different number than usual until instructed otherwise. He leveraged used the word "leverage" in place of "use," or I don't know..."dial," twice in that email. Is that weird? It really irritated me.

[Jaded Tersk]

Is that weird?

Not at all, man.  In fact, I think this change should be implemented into the TOUAMB filter post-haste, or indeed, forthwith.

I don't know if I am right, but from working in that cat shelter I can kinda tell you it wasn't in heat?  I think cats go into heat in early spring and have babies throughout late spring/summer.  This way the cats won't be born in late February/early march when they will die.  I could definitely be wrong though.  Wombat probably knows better.

I don't know from cats,  but I would imagine if I were trapped in a strange place with random people going in and out and no opposable thumbs, I would yell a bit, too.

Also, fuck*ng hell, I fucked up my back again. Unloading some obsolete computer components Pedro was supposed to have taken to be recycled six months ago.

Joke's on him; now he has to clean the entire house in preparation for our son's playdate this weekend.

I've been told that in a lot of places, they're seeing two kitten seasons a year now, because of climate change, so it's not out of the question.  But cats also scream for other reasons, like seeing another cat where they think it doesn't belong. Maybe your building has TWO cats.
