Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, but your mom is also smarter (than I) and better at rat-killing.

She trumps most people in both categories, and few people trump her at both.

Damn, Robin. I've not had that, so have no suggestions outside ginger tea.

Ironing flat sheets?

They're really crinkly. My mother never made me sleep on crinkly sheets. I'm not sure which magic powers made this happen.

Anybody else have this recently? How long does it last?

Stomach flu tends to have a 12-48 hour life-span. They usually burn themselves out quickly (while being extremely unpleasant in the process). If it's lasting longer than that, I'd get it checked out. It wouldn't be food poisoning either, because that tends to have about the same lifespan.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Timelies all!

Feel better, WBB.

The third thing out of my BILs mouth (said to my niece) made me want to cluestick him, or import ita to do it properly. I think I may go take a nap.

Crinkly fresh out of the dryer (god, how do you spell that word?)?

If you wash them, dry them and remove them from the machine that dries immediately, then they shouldn't be overly wrinkly.

I have the day off, whee!

I have to take a GRE practice test though, booo.

The machine what dries. I want to call it that now.

Yeah, I totally failed to do that this time. And to compound it, they were totally twisted up with my jeans, to the extent of leaving red marks on them.

I fail.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My boss had the idea of parking the company car inside the building over the holidays. Turns out the car is about half a foot too long. But now the inside of the building smells of car exaust. I mention this more for the bizzare factor than anything.

I didn't know that a sousaphone (sp?) was a marching tuba. I thought it was just what the dork on Fame played. Turns out it's not just the dork, but the dork and a co-worker.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

20 minutes until I can get some lunch. In case anyone is keeping track. Which I doubt.

Someone on the night shift filled out a ticket claiming someone in "Pre-Surgery" was having problem with their printer. Since we don't have a pre-surgery department in the building and I was unfamiliar with the user's name, I called one of the techs at our Tulsa hospital in case the ticket was meant for them. It stumped him too. I called our Surgery department and they have no one by that name in their department and all their printers are working fine. The person who wrote the ticket has long since gone home and to bed so I can't determine if she mistyped some critical piece of information or someone on the night shift was really bored and decided to call in a crank support request. I just closed the ticket with "Unable to verify existance of user or department."
