Must go to sleep. But before that… Check out Mahdroo in the LA Times! Wish I could embed the video but WordPress acts weird somtimes. See y’all in the morning!...

Ah. Columbus Day. A holiday where everyone else you know outside of government is hard at work. Usually, Brandon would be off work today too, but Mr. Crazy Pants over there had scheduled a 2-day training course for today and tomorrow. Here in my home office at 9:30 a.m. on Monday with a mug of tea. It feels like I’m playing hooky. It has been a very short and exhausting weekend so I’m grateful for today. As you know, Saturday early afternoon was all zombie stuff. Later that evening, we were at the Orange County Police Canine Association benefit show. ...

A Much Loved Coworker was showing a visitor our office when she stopped by Nhien’s office to look out the window. It was one of those days when LA was gloomy and hazy. MLC told the visitor, “Usually, Nhien has the best view here. But today it’s kind of skanky out.” We all nodded. “Wait. MLC, did you just say the weather is skanky?” “Yeah. It’s all icky out there. Why?” “Sweetie, I don’t think skanky means what you think it means any more these days.” “It’s not?” * MLC and another coworker dude huddled at my cubicle to vent. ...

Two things I love most about October: Halloween and beer. So far it hasn’t been a cold “fall”. Heck, it was like 78 when I got to work at 7:30 a.m. this morning! I think I will survive in my Princess Leia gitup after all. Then again, I still have the Jedi cloak from last year to keep me warm and still in theme. October is building up to be a busy one already. The Bus Party tomorrow is cancelled in lieu of the debate, so that free up a bit of time. Hopefully my newsletter will go to print...

I don’t recall exactly the details of the conversation but I caught the new coworker looking at me funny. “It’s okay. I’m weird, I know,” I told her. “Oh, no, no. You’re not weird,” she sputtered. “Oh, no. It’s okay. I’m okay with weird. I embrace the weird. You’re not insulting me.” “No. I didn’t mean you’re weird. You’re not weird.” The girl was still trying. “Sweetie. It’s okay. I would be offended if you think I’m normal,” I ensured her. “Because normal is fucking boring.” I think the cowroker was a little startled at the F bomb, but she’ll...

*Warning: Gross Girly Girl Content* Out of respect for my manly man readers, ladies, please highlight the following content to continue. We’re discussing navigation of the crimson waves here, fellas. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! So, ladies. Ready to give me some girly advice? I’ve just switched up my Pills for the past two months. The side effects so far have been minor weight gain and, to my husband’s rejoice, a little bit of boobage. Also to Brandon’s rejoice, the mood swing is gone.However, the cramps have gotten worse. It used to be a mild pain, enough to let...
