The be-top-hatted spiderdog of my nightmares

A koan to start your day: If you call a store, and somebody answers the phone, do you really need to ask if they're open?

Let's meditate on that for a moment.

...

Right, okay, this week I've been randomly epic fail at commenting/existing on LJ, and it's not like I've been crazy busy, possibly just...crazy? But not even crazy-crazy. Whatever, I've made a handy list.

-Halloween was spent with "Team Monstrous," jou, infinityduck, caffeaffogato and spousebot, and there was "Monster House" and mabotofu without the tofu, ghost-shaped M&M bars, and eventually the menfolk going off to play a game literally called "Gratuitous Space Battles," Chenners drawring, and Jo and I playing Scrabble and calling each other "you BITCH!!!" a lot.

-BOY THAT ELECTION WENT BADLY. Usually Madison and Milwaukee can make up for the rest of Wisconsin, but they must have been out in droves in their Packers sweatshirts.

-I haven't seen Danielle since Saturday. I really need her to help me pay the electric bill. >.>

-HAHAHAHA ABC HEALTH INSURANCE ADVOCATES WILL NEVER CALL ME BACK

-caffeaffogato sent me this link about "How to Keep Someone With You Forever," which is about the way lovers and/or employers create a sick system trapping hapless little persons in their web and WOW it's just like my job and it's fascinating. And terrible. And fuck of it is that it's my store's 25th anniversary and we just got these really sweet mugs and I'm all "*_*" about them and then I think about that article and go "@.o" and aarghgshfiux.

-Today is the first day of NekoCon and for the first time since 2006 I'm not there. ;_; I'm sorry everyone!

-But I did bring my breakfast and lunch to work in my awesome Cookie Monster bento box from Mr. Donut.

-And I will have a timbean the day after Thanksgiving!

And I suppose that's all the news that's fit to type for the moment.

PACKEEEEERRRRRRSSSSSS.... yeah, you know what mental image I have now, thanks to you.

HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU TOO, SULU.

Oh god, Gratuitous Space Battles ate my life for about 8 hours, then I got bored. ^_^;;

I just think the name is pretty hilarious. Apparently now (as evidenced by the comment below yours), half the fun for them now is complaining about the game itself. :F

I was afraid you were going to say that "How to Keep Someone With You Forever" was similar to our relationship! Because it's not. I have a COMPLETELY different system for keeping you trapped in my web of horror.

Also it now seems like every time Joel and I talk about Space Battles that are Gratuitous, our favorite subject is the game's many glaring faults. Why yes, we are huge dorks.

....thanks nuzz. Thanks.

I'll be um. Moving now. Or killing you. It'll be a surprise!

To be fair, I have answered the phone at various jobs while we were doing before/after hours work and had to tell people that we weren't open. RARELY, but it does happen. However, if you call at like 2pm on a Wednesday it's a pretty ridiculous question.

Unless it's like... I don't know, some sort of place that opens late.

Oh I know that things like that happen, I'm just always a little "O.o" when people do it. Let me shake my fist at the customers, Kelly! LET ME SHAKE IT! :p

Well we're not there together. So that's something? DAMNIT SULU BUILD ME TELE-PODS SO I CAN SEE JOU-FACE AND AMBERSSSSSSSSS!

I know, I would have been very sad to be there without you. Even if I'd had a table, who would I have talked to? But it's sad because now I don't get my usual November Aja-fix. :(

SULU SAYS HE IS WORKING ON IT, BUT HE'S NOT SCOTTY.
