Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Okay here's the joke:

A man goes on vacation and asks his brother to take care of his cat. A couple days into the vacation the man calls his brother to check in.

"How's my cat doing?"

"Your cat's dead, sorry."

"What???"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, he just died. Nothing I could do."

"You could have at least broken the news to me gently. You know, eased me into it a little bit."

"Eased you into it?"

"Yeah, you know. Start out saying the cat's on the roof. When I call back again tell me the cat fell off the roof but you're taking care of him, trying to nurse him back to health. Then when I call again, you can tell me the cat died and it won't be such a shock."

"Okay, I'm sorry again. Didn't mean to shock you."

"That's alright, I'll deal. So anyway, how's mom?"

"Mom's on the roof."

Silence means security silence means approval

Ahem, Corwood.

I'm starting to wonder if the reason for the slow FEMA response had to do with Michael Brown's stapler being encased in Jello.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Work took too long to approve putting the company name on the donation drive for the Dream Center. I am going to try to talk them into donating 5 brand new computers from Dell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to say, this Brownie stuff is why I'm petrified about what I put on my resume. That said, I can count Jan 1996 - now as "a decade," right?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Grr. I just found out that I made a stupid mistake at work yesterday (putting something in the wrong place), which is bad enough, but it got interpreted as a bigger stupid mistake (leaving it out entirely).

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

I get to leave an hour early today. Also, I found out that the downtown Chicago Apple store has iPod Nanos in stock.

What to do... what to do....

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

What to do... what to do....

Buy me a Nano, evidently.

Can someone tell my father that if "Call me back as SOON as you get a chance -- I need to know when you're in town so I can come visit!" will do, don't leave two messages like "Call me back immediately. On my cell. It's urgent."

Kee-rist.
