We had a brief incident involving a flying fish a couple nights back.  Nothing major.  It went down right after I topped up the tank and I ended up over-filling it.  The fishies were hanging by the rim when Miss Kitten popped up on the stand startling them and one lunged the wrong direction.  To Miss Kitten's credit, she looked horrified and tried to pick him up carefully with her paws, not looking like she had any intention of clawing him.  I finally got there in time to see him flop his way to the floor where he just lay perfectly still.  Worried he might have paralyzed himself, I carefully picked him up by the tail and placed him gently back in the water.  Counted one-two and then he shook suddenly, swam really fast for the bottom, then folded his way back into the general group and all was well.

However, Mrs. NFB is not happy.  The idea that a creature can escape the tank has her freaked.  Seeing as how this is only the third time over all the years I've kept aquariums where someone has gotten out, and considering that these are not known to be jumpers, I told her our chances of seeing it happen again are about slim and none.  I lowered the water level and it's been fine since.

Mrs. NFB is not convinced.  Time will tell I guess, but I think we're safe.

BB and Zippy were working on a project together.  BB was setting up a child domain and Zipster the workstations for that domain.  BB's was done several days ago.  Zipster was overheard by both BB and myself this morning telling the boss when he was asked why it wasn't done yet that, "I've been waiting on the domain to get set up."

BB was un-thrilled.

He texted me a basic expletive filled diatribe of epic proportions, and I texted him, "Sweep the leg."

He cracked the fuck up.  Out loud.

Then he headed to the office and started ripping ass.

According to the boss-man, Zipster's on the naughty list now.  Which means he'll get a pat on the head at the end of the day for catching up by however little he catches up by.

That dude what strapped a rocket pack to his back and flew around like a crazy person?  He was on the TV the other morning.  Sweet action.  He flies somewhere close to 200 km/hr and gets ten minutes flight time per refuel.  He just has to figure out how to take off without jumping out of a plane to make it truly awesome.  Ten minutes at 200 km/hr is plenty of time to make it to work for me.  Just sayin'.

I'm one hungry little beaver today.  No idea why.  I ate a normal breakfast.  I did skip the caffeine this morning, but that's not usually that big of a deal.  FOOD FOOD FOOD.

I'm on it.  Laterz.
