Recent News... Just for Pope Gregory... |
2006-01-18 - 9:39 p.m. The Dark is Rising Sunday: I admit to napping with Roland and the cat in front of the fire. Also, to making a batch of chocolate chip cookies just so I could eat some of the dough. Maybe it'll be offset by the nice healthy apple'n'yogurt breakfast. Probably not. Roland�s never read Susan Cooper. Behind Narnia, it�s my favorite childhood series. And Roland�s never read it. He�s so not of my tribe. But I envy him he�ll get to read it for the first time. Three days with enough sleep, blessed sleep, makes me really feisty at work. I think I scared a few people today. No, no, no. It�s worked the last six times; We�re not reinventing the paperwork. I understand. I�ll work with them to see how we can compromise. No, the answer is we�re doing it the same way or the CO can get on my calendar and explain why it�s illegal this time when it was fine the last six times. I have neither time nor patience for bullshit these days. I have serious technical issues that aren�t getting sufficient attention cause I cover 20+ topics a day, each in 15 minutes or less. Average of four meetings and 100 business emails a day, and my patience for indulging others is gone. In other news, I learned I shouldn't speak French at work. Apparently, it distracts some of my colleagues. Have you every tried to count the ten commandments? Alan, Gen, Rob and I were watching the West Wing season premiere � where Martin Sheen enters on the immortal line �Thou shalt have no other God before me.� � and I realized I couldn�t name all ten off the top of my head. So, after borrowing a copy of Exodus, I realized it�s hard to count them from the original text. Go ahead and try it. Geeky, I know. But it was the other red head that went back to the original Aramic. Then, just to round out the weekend, we finally watched �Spinal Tap,� the mock rockumentary from Rob Reiner. I�m sorry to say this, but it�s bad. Besides the immortal �but, it goes to 11,� the entire thing is bad. Maybe I had to be drunk and in college in order to enjoy it properly. Two words I made Roland learn last week: eremite and haruspex, which really wasn�t a nice thing to do to the poor boy �specially after he�d brought me roses. Theo: Hmmm. I really think Shakespeare should�ve used haruspex in Julius Caesar. Roland, innocently minding his own business. Huh?! Okay, enough randomness. � � �
