I was telling Jesse and Katie Caperton (shorthand KTC) that I had invited my friend Katie Doherty (shorthand KTD) to come climbing. Jesse then pointed out that with the addition of KTCaperton and KTDoherty we now know a KTA, KTB, KTC, and KTD.

I also know a KTF and KTY. Jesse knows a KTM.

I think with the help of the internet we can pull a full alphabet of Katies. Then, we will have a party. And all the katies will have to wear their respective letters.

we are also considering “Kates” as valid entries… unless there are any Kates that are specifically opposed to the nickname Katie.

p.s. The KTF is getting married soon and I don’t remember her fiance’s last name, so we may have to rush with the party. Send in your contributions via the comment board!

Having inherited my office from a previous employee there’s a good amount of junk floating around. In order to make my work space more homey, I’ve been grabbing various chunks of metal to use for different tasks. For example, an extremely stiff square coil spring acts as my pencil holder.

Yesterday my boss walked into my office, took one look at my water bottle coaster and said:
“I’m glad that our cutter blades are being put to good use.”
Then walked out.
