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

Dealing with stupid money things. and insurance companies. not on the plan , but whatever. also shreded on bag of paper. one and a half to go. that was also not part of todays plan. today's plan invovled moving books and vaccuuming and possible laundry. I don't really like what I am doing. but part of me feels good like I am tameing the paper monster. It is time to take a break and do some of what I was planning to do .

If only he hadn't gone and scheduled himself in another meeting in the time he didn't reply to my invitation -- that might have worked.
I'ma just whine to his boss. Something can't be drop dead vital for me, and optional for everyone else, not when it can't be done without them.

But some shit's got to change, boy, because I'm no fan of changing a bobbin but don't think I won't leave your ass for Singer if you don't take a lengthy swim in Lake Skirts With Pockets, and I mean pronto. And do not be starting in about how pockets "ruin the line," because you know what else "ruins the line"? Trying to stuff a handful of coins up my ass because I just bought a Diet Coke at the deli and I don't have my bag with me.
