Busy day at work. Didn’t get a thing done other than actual work. Blah.
Saw a girl on the bus coming come. Couldn’t have been more than 14. She was there with her mother, her two cell phones (being used simultaneously – one to talk on, the other for texting), and … her baby. In a high-end stroller. I don’t know if I was more disgusted by the spoiled skank of a daughter or the enabling mother – but then her mother had that ex-junkie face. Y’know, where she looks about 60 (a hard 60) but is probably only in her 40s, so it all made sense.
My wife, who is searching for print heads for our printer online (because our cyan print head just won’t unclog for more than one printing), just informed me that she found them for $33 each. Genuine OEM (HP) cartridges, she assured me. From an eStore called Toner Pirate. I am just filled with confidence in their claims to be able to provide me with genuine HP parts and not Chinese sweat shop knock offs.
Apparently I’m feeling a little cynical today.
Whiterabbit - Hey, I’m in Ontario. It’s alternating between wet snow and rain here, and at the moment there’s nothing on the ground save for a few piled drifts put there by snowplows from a storm we had a couple of weeks ago, and even those are small piles barely a foot high. Not that I’m complaining. The longer the snow holds off, the better, as far as I’m concerned.
Smartie - Oh. One of those. Yes, best not to contemplate that too long. I’ve still got PTSD from a few of those.
Herbs - Oh, I know about you and biting, and I’m just going to keep my hands politely folded in my lap, thank you. But yes, I do plan on sticking around again. I’ve been needing to manage my time more effectively so that I can fit the Dope in more often instead of just focusing on one thing. It’s a habit of mine, this tunnel vision. When I focus on something I tend to do it to the exclusion of as much else as possible for the environment I’m in. It makes me very productive when I’m left to get at it, but I very rarely get the chance to work in a vacuum, so it’s not very conducive to the other things that I want to give attention to.
Puggy - Fig leaves over their generals? Is that a new euphemism? I like it. It brings more relevance to the phrase, “standing at attention.” 
gt - Eventful, yes. Perhaps too much so.
Off to make dinner!
Can’t imagine actually stuffing a turkey with soupy stuff.
Good drugs, sounds like!
