I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Well, hopefully it is not measuring the basement, as I have no access to it (the other tenant does.) I am just afraid the whole damn thing is miswired and I am paying for part of her electricity (since this seems to coincide with the downstairs person moving in). We are also supposed to have completely separate hot water, but strangely, I can feel a drop in the hot water pressure if we are both taking a shower (in our respective apartments) at the same time.

I'll check out the meter, though...

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Though I suspect his German best friend and the enormous quantities of alcohol they consumed may have played a part.

I also suspect this is what led to it ending up behind the furniture.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

oh! lori! there you are.

I want to build a rail gun. Will you help me?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sophia, I have a one-bedroom apt., electric stove, TV, computer, etc. I have window unit a/c in the living room and bedroom, and I do not pay heat.

Here's what my utility provider says my usage has been for the past 12 months:

10/05/2005 604
09/06/2005 761
08/05/2005 672
07/07/2005 694
06/07/2005 572
05/06/2005 308
04/07/2005 328
03/08/2005 244
02/07/2005 280
01/07/2005 307
12/06/2004 306
11/03/2004 254

As you can see from the huge jump in the summer, I am a total WHORE for air conditioning, and I'm willing to pay for it.

A/C is a very good thing.

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 have a headache, and I'm arguing with my boss about combining SQL inner and outer joins in a single stored procedure with three tables. Can I go home?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Can I go home?

Yes. But only if I don't have to go to work today. (I really should already be there)

Now I just chased my other boss's dog down and took a piece of gum from her. Somehow, taking gum from puppies seems more fun than arguing about SQL.
