Saturday afternoon at work…<\/p>\n

Joe’s all broked and such<\/strong><\/p>\n

I showed up at the Snail really early, only to find that was WAY off his game. My attempt to cheer him up by sharing my cell phone full of cheerful was unsuccessful in improving his mood, but very successfully confirmed that it was time for Joe to take his ball and go home.<\/p>\n

I am soooo popular!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a sketchy start to the day, but things went uphill from there, with brief but pleasant visits. First, Olivia came by with her fianc\u00c3\u00a9 Jeff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Best Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Amy, in tow.<\/p>\n

Zeena *will* join my geek girl strike force… or (her sea monkeys will) DIE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My friend Zeena came by an hour later, craving more Batgirl, but alas we were sold out, so I had to send her home with Kabuki instead. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad Z. and I have sort of hooked up again; we used to live in residence together and bonded through our mutual love of computers, drawing, sea monkeys, and engineers (those last two problems I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy to report I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve left far behind, although I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t speak for Z. on either front). Oddly enough, we both started working for the provincial government and reading comics at the same time, about two years ago, completely independent of one another.<\/p>\n

Point being, Zeena\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s awesome, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m plotting to introduce her to Chrissy so that we geek girls can grow strong and become legion! Then, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on to world domination! Or something.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, I’ll finish Saturday and take a chunk out of Sunday after I get off work in five hours… patience is a virtue, yo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
