The drawback to going to bed early last night (as in, my lights were out before 9 folks - before 9! And I had a fever, again. I blame Coworker B) is that when I wake up, I have to hit skip-80 on my flist and still don't have time to read all of the threads on posts. If it weren't for the fact that Mr Larry's life depends on my coming into work today to feed him, I'd think of calling in sick! Think of it, but probably not do it - because I literally made myself a ToDo post it note yesterday for everything I have to do today. And that means it's serious, folks, cause I am so not a list maker, I'm a hold-it-in-my-head maker. Um. Yeah. Pretend that makes sense.

Speaking of Mr. Larry, he was indeed still alive at the end of the day yesterday, although I did freak out (minorly) once when I couldn't see him in the bowl. However, that doesn't mean yesterday was smooth sailing, as evidenced by what happened when I arrived at work yesterday.

( Cut for abuse of swmbo at work )

I don't have time for a real lengthy response to the recent set of posts, but what I DO have time to do is present you with lots of lovely links by people who address this issue with more care and time than I have.

( Discussions of fic and characters and all sorts of things - but mostly from others )

Sadly, even when I'm brief, I'm windy. You guys ever notice that? *cough* CRAP I'm gonna be late for work again, aren't I? *cough* Good thing scarlettgirl assures me that if your boss isn't there, late doesn't happen. It's totally a tree in the forest man, a tree in the forest.

Ok, one last thing and this is a request for eeeep, help. I have to have a motivational (possibly funny!) or thoughtful quote by the end of COB, because it's my week next week to have one stuck on everybody's chair. And I totally forgot until I got an email about it yesterday so I just have a handful and it's not enough and none of them are perfect and I want perfect!!

And being lazy, they wer all from the same database:

( Quotes so far, but I don't want any of them, although if nobody on here has a better one, I'll prlly go with the first )

SO, bring out your quotes! Save your swmbo! And have a fantastic day!

This is ohhh so lame and I'm sorry to put you guys through this because I know most of you are probably more than tired of it. But...yeah, it's me. You know me. Or most of you do - *waves to new people* Hey kids, welcome to my LJ.

To begin with - Mr Larry was alive and swimming when I left the office. So score one for swmbo! Except we're apparently going to get a 100 gallon tank for the office and everybody's saying how that's not a safe decision with me in the building and I am just going to be pointing out, when Mr Larry is restored on Monday to his rightful person, that he's alive. Also, thanks to everybody that contributed a quote to my collection, for it was so much fun reading them! I went with one by aimeelicious because she was sneaky and said the quote reminded her of me, and I accept flattery. Also, because the full quote contains a pun and...I am weak - Eleanor Roosevelt: The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."

( In regards to the recent fallout )
My opinions are my opinions and they are not affected by who voices the opposition.

So that's why I open the floor. IF you have an issue or a problem with me, I'm cool with that - I do not expect to be beloved by the world over, despite my inherent charm and astounding ego. But seriously - I am not disabling comments on this. And if you think that I was out of line and want to express it, I am inviting you to do so now. You can do it anon if you wish. I'd have IP tracking on only to prevent duplicate comments from the same person, but I'd make no effort to find out who the person was. Try not to be too profane (my brother reads this LJ and I'm pure as the driven snow *cough*) but comment and say what you want.

And I ask any friends of mine on my list - if I am attacked, on any grounds, in my LJ - please do not respond on my behalf. Seriously. I can handle it and it'll be cool. Love you guys and I appreciate all of your defense, but I don't want people to feel that they can't respond because they'll get mauled. I don't feel that I'm in the wrong, but that doesn' t mean I'm right and if it's been bugging somebody, they have free reign.
