digitaldiscipline: (rafepark)
Maybe it's post-sushigasm hangover from [livejournal.com profile] critus' birthday shenanigans last night. Maybe it's the ongoing nuisance that is the clusterfucked software platform that's hamstrung the meaningful and visible productivity at the office. Maybe it's the forecast of highs in the mid-70's. Maybe it's the stack of brushed stainless steel tiles waiting to be affixed to the newly-black monolith that our fireplace has become (house pr0n pix to follow). Maybe it's the roll of window screen and weather that makes open windows. Maybe it's just because I don't want to be the voice of a goddamned turkey for a holiday flash animation.

Whatever it is, I'm grumpy, scratchy around the edges, and have no desire to be in the office today. What, you may ask, is keeping me here? My status as an hourly wage-slave and a misplaced sense of guilt and obligation. So I'm doing a database reconciliation and wishing I had better CDs in my car, so I could zone in, tune out, and get this crap taken care of.

On the plus side of egoboo, the newsletter I wrote is being wallpapered around the office today.

And there's a trade magazine on my desk with an advert entitled MOOSE ATTACK! Chocolate MOOSE on the page opposite what I can best describe as bottling-industry pr0n - it's just a closeup of a feminine mouth taking a sip from a water bottle. Thank you, BASF. You don't make the pr0n, you make the pr0n worksafe.

Highs in the mid 70's are a bad thing?

This is golfing weather. Dancing weather. Football weather. Home improvement weather. Driving weather. Sitting in your ass in a hammock with a paperback and some iced tea weather.

Not, you understand, cross-referencing userdata in a cubicle weather.

However, were I in possession of VPN access and a good wireless setup, I'd give that a go from the front lawn.

I'm disturbingly intrigued by the "voice of a turkey" thing.

I never wanted a turkey leg so badly before in my entire life.
