Appropriately, April Fools' Day marked my one-month anniversary at my new (and still current) job. I've spent the bulk of the past four weeks surfing Heartland, writing nonsensical emails to long-suffering friends, contemplating changing my mobile service so I could take and make local phone calls when in London (and get a deal on a neat-o flippy phone, not that I care about those things), and bemoaning last week's extra-hour time difference between here and there, which has increased the delay between sending said long-winded emails, and receiving congratulations on my continued sanity.
These are a few of my favorite things...
Last Friday, I was finally given something something anything to do not that I'm complaining: I am to edit a book originally published in France (Déjà 15000 exemplaires vendus!). Thus, I spent this morning on the email prodding friends and acquaintances for translator recommendations, and was just updating my Outlook contacts list ("chick, Kent, M") when out of the corner of my eye I caught something white moving beneath my desk.
I said: *gasp*!
It said: ...
The dog, a little white teddy-bear-like thing resembling the one in Best in Show (sorry I can't be more specific--animals tend to come in three categories for me: dogs, cats, and human), sniffed silently under my desk, progressed to my bag, then waddled around the perimeter of my office and...
Exit stage left. Right. No left.
I am glad that I managed to remove a stray M&M (blue) from the floor earlier this morning, but I regret that the little white dog didn't stay long enough for me to discuss my translator problem with him. He was so silent I suspect he's studying to be a mime, in which case his French Connections could have proven invaluable.

When writing that, she'd either failed to take her medication or taken too much. It wasn't even in French and I didn't undertsand a word. Maybe I'm just as thick as mince ... 
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Are you sure that this was an M&M? Some sweets look like drugs and some drugs look like sweets. And some drugs look like drugs. And some sweets don't look like sweets. I've generally found that life is more interesting if you eat anything that looks like sweets. And then you wait...CorpPunk wrote:I am glad that I managed to remove a stray M&M (blue) from the floor earlier this morning
My car's faster than your mum, but not as dirty.
It was probably one of my old peanuts!
