A quick list...

1. Sometimes I wish my cats would just disappear. It's cruel...I realize that, but if this world were a perfect place, they would disappear and reappear at my choosing.
2. I've been using my 15-20 minutes of eating dinner time to catch up on the news. If I don't see it flash up on the screen in 20 minutes, then it must not be breaking news and therefore something that will change my life forever and keep me from needing to write the paper I've been putting off.
3. I got mail today (work-related), all the way from Iran. Yes, I checked to see if any powders flew out when I opened it. Although it is an application for Materials Science Engineering, so perhaps it would be an invisible nano-particle type powder. Interesting.
4. Students just stopped by, said they are waiting for a fax, walked over to my desk, told me there is no paper in the fax machine and then watched me as I picked up the paper sitting next to the fax machine and put it in. I refused the urge to say, "was that so hard?".
5. I consider 2pm-4pm the dead zone. I get to work, create this beautiful list of things that I need to get done when I get home and then somewhere between 2pm and 4pm, all motivation is lost. I suddenly no longer want to be uber-productive and would just rather go home, heat up some soup and watch hour after hour of mindless television.

We are childless at the moment, and it is quiet and a little lonely and your uncle b said it would be nice if we could beam the kids here for a chat and then beam them back to whereever they are supposed to be, so I guess I understand the cat part in reverse! :) aunt c
