In response to the Cover Squirrel lolcat, some clever sod made this:
Well played, sir, well played!
The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck

We often have full group meetings, but there are so many of us and such a range of backgrounds and topics that they invariably waste the time of more than 80% of the people who (must!) attend them. Sometimes, I think about a snippet from the Muppets Christmas Carol, where Fozzywig is giving his traditional Christmas speech to the whole company:
Jacob/Statler: That was the speech?
Robert Marley/Waldorf: It was dumb!
Jacob/Statler: It was obvious!
Robert/Waldorf: It was pointless!
Jacob/Statler: It was…short.
…
Marleys: I loved it!
Sadly, most of the ones I have to attend are anything but short…


Even though, objectively, things are going well with the new dog, the job search, the driving lessons, and all the rest, I feel like there is a huge ball of anxiety in the pit of my stomach and I don’t like the feeling :(

Something like this has the potential to be a good baseline for my next project. Maybe in a couple of years…
