that thunk is my head hitting the desk as I lose consciousness

[alonewiththemoon]

My office reeks overwhelmingly this morning of some ungodly combination of oil, rubber cement, lemon furniture polish and Coca Cola.  Seriously I can smell all those things.  I have no idea what it might be but I can feel my brain cells melting.

Like everybody else who wrote to Amazon, I suppose, I received the "embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error" apology.  I'm not sure reading it whether they're sorry they did it at all, sorry they did it badly or just sorry they got caught, but at least they seem to be backing down.

Ianto seems to be doing better.  When I left this morning he was tucking into a big healthy breakfast of kibble.  Now that I know he is much older than we thought I am seeing all the characteristics of an old ferret when I look at him :-(  But, he is still happy and playful in his own silly way, and loves his little Sisiutl, and his coat is beautiful and fluffy, so all in all he's in good shape.  At the vet's on Saturday at one point he came to me and asked me to pick him up, which was a first and made my heart very happy--I am comfort and safety to him :-)  Sissy is like a whole new ferret without the ear mites, I feel terrible that we didn't realize they were there and I will be much more vigilant about the signs in the future.

OMG I am seriously going to pass out from the fumes.  I have the one window that opens open, but it's on the other end of the floor so I think mostly it's just pushing the fumes into my office.

I heard a story saying that someone hacked the Amazon website and caused this to happen, some Internet trolled named weev. I don't know if it's true or not, because I heard about it on... the Internet. :)

Weev claims he did it, but Amazon is saying it is all their fault. Weev has a history of outrageous claims, apparently, but I can also see why Amazon might deny this was caused by outside actions.

This reads like scotch tasting notes. :)

This would not be the sort of Scotch one would want to drink.
