bjarvisThis morning, I did some office work via telecommuting but not much: I'm technically on-call but it's still an office holiday, dammit. The single work ticket in my name was my own fault as I created & scheduled it forgetting today would be a holiday. Ah, well... it was trivial to execute.
I did some laundry this afternoon but not much else. The cold weather seemed to seep deeply into my bones: I just couldn't feel comfortably warm for the early part of the day. In the early afternoon, I simply parked myself on the living room couch, wrapped in a heavy comforter and nibbling bon-bons. Life doesn't get much better than this. Ahhh!
My productivity resumed in the late afternoon, allowing me to work on a few other minor projects before we trucked downtown to join the bears for half-price burgers at Mr. Henry's. I ate far too much... I should have stopped eating the chunky fries, oh, 30 minutes earlier. I think I also drank four large glasses of Coke Classic: they just kept refilling the damn things. My kidneys are now in overdrive and I'll be running to the bathroom every half-hour for the rest of the night.
We're now watching "Life After People" on the History Channel while the bed sheets tumble in the dryer. I'm not keen on returning to work tomorrow but at least it will be a slightly abbreviated work week.

Date: 2008-01-22 04:44 am (UTC)I've noticed the trend with all these types of shows lately is to regurgiate the same bits over and over with an eye to the channel surfers who might not have seen the beginning of the show, but it catches their interest.
I was also thinking about some of those things like the satellites in space, underground military bunkers, areas that were built to be closed-systems, and the like.
Thought it was funny they talked about domestic dogs right from the beginning, going into detail about which dogs would survive, but didn't mention domestic cats until late in the show.
Of course, there are so many what-ifs that speculation would go wild for us leaving a lasting footprint on the earth. One of the things I've thought about is that there might have been one or more vast "intelligent" species on earth in the past, with large cities and structures, but because of tectonic plate movement and the creeping decap of millions of years have completely, utterly vanished before we were even upright.
