Treasury Secretary John Snow, who "had been briefed on the duck",
I wish I could have seen that briefing. Although it was probably just a few Powerpoint slides....
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
PlayStation maker Sony Corp (SNE.N). has been granted a patent for beaming sensory information directly into the brain.
Cashmere, the fact that you have a "usually" for this situation does not make me happy. Yikes.
Kate, we're on the fringe of a nice neighborhood (the governor's mansion is five minutes away) that is wedged between three very questionable neighborhoods. The bad is that those folks move into the bad neighborhoods close enough to warrant a notification. The good is that our municipality has more police per resident than any other in this city. Also, my next-door neighbor is a cop, so other than being freaked out by the idea, we're still pretty safe.
That's not to say that we're not looking to move out of the fringe and into the legitimately nicer part of our neighborhood in the next few years.

Noon already. How'd that happen?
Today I need to decide what I want for lunch before I go out. Yesterday I tried the "walk around until I figure out what I want" method, and it turned out what I wanted was two new pairs of shoes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You must have walked a long time on rough terrain.

Tasty, but tough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You don't have any leftover shoe for today? Two pair sounds like a lot.

I was out of the office this morning so my time clock is all off. I have a lot to get through today and keep getting interrupted by phone calls and visitors, both unusual.
The good news is that I have ticked 3 things off my to-do list, got $200 in before the mail has been delivered, AND have scheduled a job interview which may get me out ofthis place.

danke. I can't leave here until mid-May so it's nothing immediate, but still excited.
