1. Coworkers who are arrested for kidnapping and attempted murder.

Yup. All I know is that he is arrested, his wife is in critical condition and his kids are with his wife's parents.

Hey Zeus Christmas, sciurus! Wow! Was it a surprise, or did the guy always seem a bit "off"?

What was the blog comment? And who would not like you?

Eeeee, annoying!

Well, this makes my complaints about today seem less important.

Yeah it was pretty surprising. I'd suspect the dude that sits next to me and yells curses at his computer all day before this other dude.

The comment was about how posting my [extensive, greedy] birthmas list is sad because I'm typically so anti-commercial/materialism. The guy used to be a relatively friendly acquaintance, but he's only left asshole comments for a few months now. I finally banninated him.

You posted your wishlist on your own blog? You are one ballsy squirrel.

Goodness... At least it didn't end with, Before turning the gun on himself...

You can be anti-commercial/materialism and still WANT things. Good grief.

It's really only there so my mom knows where to find it. If I send it by email she'll lose it 8 times.

Anyway. What is annoying y'all today?

My hipbones hurt. The Mets aren't in the Series. I can't read, I can't write, the Boss won't let me talk and I'm tired of finger paintig.

Yep. I came charging in here, but after the [more inside] I think I'll pass.

Pips, are you being sarcastic? I wish people like that hurt themselves to get their anger out, not the others...

Forget your [extensive, greedy] birthmas list. ALASKA NEEDS THAT MONEY!

My bedroom is an extension to the house, with five single pane windows, a drafty door to the outside, and no insulation in the walls. The introduction of heat, regardless of the source, doesn't do much. So waking up with visible breath and shivering through eight layers of clothing is what I don't like today, and it's not even winter yet.

Gross! That's even worse than my apartment with its 80yrold windows!

posted by sciurus 25 October | 12:29

It's raining (again) and I forgot my umbrella (again), so now I'm wet and really cold from the office air conditioner. But my apartment is toasty warm!

I don't like catching cheaters while marking lab reports. Its a whole pile of extra paper work and is unpleasant all around. If you're going to cheat and spend less time on the report can't you make sure I won't know? For example, make sure you reference THIS YEAR's lab manual and not the one from TWO YEARS ago?

Asshole commenter returns! I thought I'd blocked all his IPs and his domain, but apparently I didn't do every iteration. I think I've got him blocked out now. God, I hate it when people stop by just to piss on me.

Wind. I don't like wind today.(40+ mph.)

But at least the power hasn't gone out yet.
