Well, technically, I&#039m here at the office again this week, though I&#039m not overly sure as to why. I spent the better part of the early morning reading web comics (note the new one on my links page with others to possibly follow), then I went to the Coffee Grounds with Brad and Debbie H. (We&#039ve got two Debbies here, similar to the multiple Debs at the library) for quite a long time. Heck, we didn&#039t get back from there until nearly eleven, and then it was time for most people here to start getting ready for lunch. I&#039m still here despite the complete lack of other people because I couldn&#039t come up with anything better to do on my lunch hour. I thought about dragging the poor husband in, but since the Commons is pretty much closed, I didn&#039t know where we&#039d eat unless we drove somewhere. So I decided to wait out my lunch hour while surfing the net for information on apple snails until people (or at least someone) comes back and I&#039ll leave for the rest of the afternoon. Heather, my officemate, left at the same time as when we went for coffee &#039cause she wasn&#039t feeling well and was tired of being here after an hour and a half. It has been quiet, that&#039s for sure. I just signed for a couple packages from the UPS guy &#039cause there&#039s no one else here. I think there&#039s a student worker out at the front desk, but he has no authority making me in charge of the place. Scary. Very scary.

So I found out that the reason why Cthulu Tarzan has a furry growth of algae on his back is because he&#039s near sunlight which promotes such growth. I also found out that it shouldn&#039t harm him though. I do need to run by Wally-world or something for a Ph (or is it pH? Or PH? Or ph?) tester to check the water because I think it&#039s too low and is making his shell brittle. I also found out that he&#039d most likely eat green beans and fresh spinach leaves, which would help out on the calcium side. He&#039s such a cutie! He&#039s been hanging out next to the filter all morning letting it muss up the hairy algae on his back. I think he thinks it&#039s punk-looking or something. Silly snail. Of course, if I start feeding him spinach and he gets huge, I&#039m going to have to append to his name and call him Cthulu Tarzan Popeye or something.

Okaaaaaaay. So I think everyone can tell that I&#039m getting bored outta my gourd, so I should probably start thinking about gathering my things and be ready to head out when somone gets back. Too bad they all went out to eat together at the Sartoga. That probably means they&#039ll be yapping for quite a while. <Sigh> Oh well. I&#039ll live. Maybe I&#039ll call and pester my man a while to kill time. 🙂 Or find another web comic. That sounds good too. Ooh! I hear keys! Later!
