My old Greek textbook had quotes at the start of every chapter, and the one that I actually remember (other than "...with your shield or on it") was a line from some play by ?Aristophanes, where the servant says "That is what I said before!"
Anyway, guess how my meeting with my boss just went?

Diese Tabellen zu formulieren, damit sie nicht so aussehen wie etwas das aus einem Hundenarsch gefallen ist, ist selbst ein Hundenarsch.

ETA: Now I get to make sure all the hyperlinks actually work. נָקְטָה נַפְשִׁי, בְּחַיָּי

Thunderstorm.

ETA:
Then the temperature plummeted back to levels that I would have described even in the 1990s as quite cold. We got snow flurries on the afternoon of Christmas, and an actually significant amount of snow on...must have been St. John's Eve? Anyway, it was so cold that Mallard Wassail got moved indoors.
And then on Monday 12/29 (St Thomas' Day), it bucketed rain.
And now it's cold again.

Guess who managed to lock himself out of his apartment this morning?

Completely unrelated to previous post:

I am researching bounces from my employer's email lists, and am therefore sorely tempted to ping one or two people's LinkedIn profiles and ask "Are you dead?"


ETA: On the same search: Look... This obituary is presumably just giving the names of children's spouses, but the way they phrased it KINDA makes it look like half this person's kids are trans., and being deadnamed for the benefit of people who haven't seen them in a while.
"XX is survived by their sons, Thomas, Sean (Maureen), Patrick, Brendan (Dana); and daughters, Siobhan (Stephen); Maureen, Mary (Matthew), Deirdre (Jason)...

I probably shouldn't try to ask my boss if we're meeting this afternoon by texting him "M'saion?", should I?

I swear, one of these days I will get around to posting.
Probably not til I'm done with the Series Of Mad Weekends, though.

I'm on my THIRD cup of coffee,
Still can't face the day...


ETA: Are there parody versions of "Awake, Alive, Alert, Enthusiastic"? Because there should be.

ETA2: And if I think today is bad, let's try tomorrow, when I have to get out to catch a bus at 6:55AM.

Ugh, I apparently am not allowed to eat fried food after 8pm.

Especially since I am driving to Vermont tomorrow.

Except I apparently have a job interview first.

Oh wow, Menewood and The Tomb of Dragons came out!
