Kate, unless your title is actually "[Boss]'s Bitch," there is NO way you should be performing basic personal-care for her. Ugh.
I mean, how did she even ask? "Hey, I need you to clip my fingernails,"?
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I bet we could sue.
Or at least write a tell all book.

Not that I'm in a mood or anything.
I was in a horrible, terrible, no good mood. But after I ate, I no longer felt the need to smash things. I still think today could use a good smack to the head, but --
Uh oh. New company CEO has arrived. Must look industrious.

Maybe you should move to Australia.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hmm, apparently the case for life currently existing on Mars has been getting stronger.
Cool.
I was so bummed as a kid when Viking apparantly showed there was no life on Mars.

I mean, how did she even ask? "Hey, I need you to clip my fingernails,"?
She came over to me, holding a pair of scissors, and said "I need you to do a favor for me."
I knew when I took this job that it would be partly in a personal-assistant capacity, but that seems beyond the pale. Glad to hear that it's not just me being overly sensitive.

There are scientists that dispute that.
Edit: That Viking showed there was no life on Mars, not that you were bummed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, you know what? People who can hire personal assistants should GET A PROFESSIONAL MANICURE. Oy.
Speaking of which, my manicure from almost 10 days ago only just now looks crappy. Impressive! But I am on strict orders to do my own nails (finger and toe) for the next six weeks.

Today is sort of boring at work. I'm working on transitioning our build system from the old perl based build/web interface to a new Ant/CruiseControl/JSP based build/web interface. Running a test build takes forever so I'm spending a lot of time waiting for my computer to do things.

Yeah. That's why I put in the word "apparantly." Though I suppose I could have come up with a better qualifier.
