I've been renewed until February 10, 2006. I think this is the last time folks! I have learned never to work so far away from home again. The scarf I am knitting is coming along at a rapid pace, but I almost only knit on the bus. This is bad. So, if you ask nicely after that day, I might be able to show you my 2-volume book on retirement.

Attention Plague Monkeys!

For the sweet love of all that is holy, cover your fucking mouth when you cough (or sneeze) in public.

1. I sleep with my eyes open. Not all the time, just often enough to be creepy and scare the crap out of people, especially my mom when I was growing up. I also talk in my sleep on occasion to throw additional freakiness into the mix.

2. I alphabetize things in my cupboard. I think it makes things easier to find. Deal with it.

3. I like wearing skirts. For a long time I was a closet skirt wearer, then I figured out it was okay to wear skirts as a girl.

4. I am far too tired to think of five things. No really, I'm exhausted.

5. I am punctual for social activities and grossly unpunctual for work. I'll deal with it if it ever affects my job performance.
