In addition to many other articles of clothing, I'm wearing a blue sweater, underneath which I am wearing a Jem and the Holograms T-shirt.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Whyfor the fins, Kat, and can we get pictures?
No pictures. Fins are removed.
Our old fins were impossible to get off easily. Which resulted in lots of embarrassing flailing in water. These were $30 off plus another $20 off with a gift card, which makes them not quite free, but still cheaper than their usual price.
We also bought, earlier, new wet suits because I've gotten fat and didn't fit in mine and Lori's got cold and compressed and uncomfortable.
MUST GO SCUBA SOON.
ita is a RED SHIRT!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I have cookies! Sent to us by a client. Now, I understand our vendors sending in holiday goodies. We spend money with them all year long, they send us a few holiday goodies as a thanks.
But, our clients? They spend a crapload of money on us AND give us holiday goodies? It kinda rocks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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

I should not fill out this survey today, for I am tempted to copy and paste that. I'm also thinking about listing my job title as:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We just discovered we have way more presents for older niece than we do for younger niece, who is 4. Any hive mind suggestions for last minute gifts?
Tens and twenties?

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.
I suppose it wouldn't be a good idea to write down my job description as "doing shit what is more important than helping you all re-engineer our processes."
Probably not.
I hate doing job-related surveys. Last year when they were re-organizing the dept they had us list our responsibilities and major accomplishments. I asked my boss if I could list successfully dealing with a specific end-user who was notoriously obnoxious as an accomplishment.

Oh, dear. My work filter now blocks my wet men site.
Like they can really stop me.
But I feel very startled, now that they're blocking me from my own stuff. It's not that adult. Sometimes men that are wet have no clothes on. It's just life. There are no goolies!

In further day-from-hell news, I could not find my stocking-requirement foil-wrapped santas. And at the Eckerd's in which I was looking, all the Christmas candy was on sale, and they were putting out the Valentine's Day candy. I exlaimed in shock and horror, and the woman stocking the shelves said, "It's not that far away!" Ack! What are the last-minute Christmas shoppers supposed to do?
