what I would really like is for a minion to go run my errand for me.
Just as long as you don't shop at the same minion store as Lyra.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You want me to grade my time management skills? Oh no, no you don't.
A+!!!!!!
But am I asking too much to expect her to call in the morning if she won't get in?
No. You are expecting her, she should call. I hope she would call a friend if they had dinner plans, and she decided not to go.
it hasn't started snowing yet.
Yeah it has, but just a little bit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's just you.
Ah. Had forgotten about that photo. Or maybe just repressed it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My body told me not to go to work today as well, though it wasn't as nice as ita's, since there was puking and pain instead of cupcakes and krav.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The copier jammed. While trying to slide out the paper drawer, I overbalanced and fell straight back on my ass. In the process, I threw out my left arm to catch myself -- this would be the one with the bad shoulder joint.
I cast out the spirit of Ginger from your body! Begone!

Crap. I have to go to Houston. I don't want to go to Houston.
Are there Buffistas in Houston?
eta: I just realized that I currently have no photo ID. So currently I can't fly.

Up with the sun
I called Missing!Intern. She said she didn't come in because of the snow, and was going to email me later today.
I was good and did not point out it didn't start snowing until after she was due here. I think she understands that she needs to call in the morning, though I wouldn't bet on it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Are there Buffistas in Houston?
Dana is in Houston.

Actually, Lyra, I think part of your job as an intern's supervisor is to teach her very clearly what the expectations are in the working world. So really explicitly saying, "Our office is open, so you need to be here, or at least call," is doing her a favor.
