It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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

It's a cat-loving neighbourhood, msbelle. Unfortunately, it's mostly the dogs that love the cats.

We now have two casual Fridays a month. And my nice jeans remain stolen. Life isn't fair.

We now have two casual Fridays a month.

At the university we have at least four casual Fridays a month, sometimes five. Same for casual Mondays through Thursdays.

As a male academic my clothing costs run into the tens of dollars a year.

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

Do you have tweed? It's good for stopping arrows.

Oh crap. I misplaced the actual ticket. Can I show up in court without it? Or should I spend the extra 75 minutes to go home and find it?

As an unemployed person, my clothing costs would run more than that.

It's not a cost thing for me -- the jeans that were stolen cost more than most of my work pants. It's the additional variety I want.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

They're the ones who are ticketing you. Shouldn't they have all the information? It's definitely not worth looking for if there's any chance it could make you late. Courts really frown on late.

I should have plenty of time to go home first if I leave now.

eta: OK, I'm going home, then to court. Wish me low-fine~ma....

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?

Same for the company I work for. One of the perks of working here.
