Heh. I was just told I could go as soon as this stuff is finished printing because I have a 30 minute errand, which is like letting me of 5 minutes early. Whooo! I was told this like "Hey! Ain't it great? You can go home early!."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My meeting for today is moved too! My momentum has been shattered.
I should go home.
Sorry to hear about the ugly day, Allyson. Can you flash back to last week and drown it out?
The whole point of the D de P story is that she didn't look 70 even when she was 70.
Well, Cate was pretty good at playing an old person who didn't look old.
Which is to say -- she gave great elf. Nice and ageless.

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
Vaguely, I just hate it when labor laws and EEO laws are presented in a frightening or threatening manner to employees. It seems almost a purposeful way of making employees resent the laws that protect them to overtime without pay, or being forced through lunch. Sexual harassment laws protect people from really shitty work situations, they're GOOD laws.
It seems purposeful to me when an organization explains these laws to employees in a way that makes them frightened to speak to each other.
My inner Norma Rae is angry.

It occurs to me that Oprah would make an EXCELLENT teacher. Apparently before the Best Actor award, she handed Jamie Foxx a kleenex. He thought it was because she thought he would cry. But no. She told him to spit out his gum.
How much do I love that? Go Oprah.
ita, if you go home, will you make me some cupcakes?

Oh my god, that's the best story ever. OK, the best Oprah story. Hilarious. And she was so right.

I'm not saying that she has to look twenty years older. But a few years older would be nice. I keep picturing Annette Bening, for some reason.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
She told him to spit out his gum.
Ah ha ha! That is beautiful.

Apparently, it went something like this "Give me your gum. Your gum. Spit out your gum!"
And thank god he did it.
