Aphorism
You know that old saying, “Work smarter, not harder”?
You ever use it on someone and then wonder why they looked pissed?
You just told them that they’re working stupid.
I hate my boss.

Kitten from Hell might be growing bigger, but she isn’t gaining much in the way of grace or stealth (or intelligence, I fear). We ordered Chinese last night. My excuse was that I’m still feeling too wiped to cook when I get home. Our order came in a big brown grocery-style bag with twine handles….
Popcorn *is* a vegetable, isn’t it?
Things should be hectic the next few days. Work, as ever, is chewing my ass pretty hard at the moment. I’m starting a period of six-day work weeks, and I can’t say I’m thrilled about it. We don’t go back to five-day work weeks until January. Most of my department has the option of putting…
Blood Oranges.
The blood oranges have arrived at my local grocery store. Cost be damned, I’m going to have my treat. They’re sweet, with fruit so red it borders on purple. I had heard when I was young that they have to be grown in the countryside around Sicily to get the best red color. I don’t…
Trick or treat:
My treat for anyone who visits here today: Bat Conservation International I have been a member of BCI for well over a decade now. They are a small not-for-profit group dedicated to bat research, education and conservation. They are based in the United States, but their activities are global. They work on a shoestring budget,…
Darn you, Vigilant.
I only stopped in for a brief peek. I was emphatically NOT going to make another diary entry today. Well, OK, I was maybe going to do a Magnetic Poetry Creation entry. But not for a while yet. I haven’t even written one today. Your Results: You were male in your last earthly incarnation. You…
Snowfall
The soothsayers of precipitation foresaw snow, so last night I set the last of the old wood in the fire place. We had a half-cord delivered yesterday, because we were running low, and while it is nicely cured and ready to burn, last yearâs wood has gone from good to perfect and seems to take…
I empathize. My "boss" is pretty darned stupid, too. Probably the worst part is her blatant hyprocracy. That one is REALLY hard to take in silence. She spouts off about how "wonderful" Trump is and all sorts of Republican rhetoric ALL THE TIME. Then she demands that the rest of us NEVER discuss politics AT ALL. She stopped me from even saying that I grew up in a bi-partisan household last week! Just a year ago her husband’s life was saved when he had half his kidney removed because it had malignant tumors. He was STILL in the hospital (on Medicaid’s dime) when she voted a straight Republican ticket, all the way from Trump on down. And boy-oh-boy was she happy when her Medicare kicked in! Hypocrites are the WORST!
