Banning books is, for me, the ultimate form of evil and oppression. I may not like a book, I may disagree with its subject matter, but I will not ban it. Banning books leads to too many other oppressive practices.

I hear birdies!
I should note, I normally don't do One True Pairings. Agatha and Gil are the sole exception.

Cats apparently exploit humans by purring. As a crazy cat-lady in training, this is nothing new to me.

UGH! I'm a polite person (usually) which is why I'm saying this here rather than out loud in my office, but a coworker brought in some almond cookies, and frankly they taste like chicken, bad chicken. (No, Really)

In my department we have scanners that we use for imaging; every now and again they will, for whatever capricious reason, stop working. My coworkers come and get me since I'm the closest thing we have to expert on these machines. I have discovered that whatever the problem is from simply not scanning to actually tech and network problems these machines simply will not work again until I have threatened, in a calm polite way, to smash them with a sledgehammer. Even if I haven't had a hand in the actually fixing of the scanner. Most bizarre.

I'm in a better mood than this morning, and a new icon I've been meaning to upload for about a week -- kali921 is to blame.

I...could live with this IF I was allowed to ditch the pink, but I do have a predilection for purple sparklies.

You are An Expendable Character (Redshirt)

Since your accomplishments are seldom noticed, and you are rarely thought of, you are expendable. That doesn't mean your job isn't important but if you were in Star Trek you would be killed off in the first episode you appeared in.  |

So, women really are the stronger sex, at least as far as colds and infections are concerned.

The buzz of fluorescent lights. It gives me migraines, and drives me bonkers. The closest I've ever come to killing someone was directly related to that person insisting on turning on a particularly bad bank of lights, claiming s/he couldn't hear a thing and implying the noise and pain were all in my head.
