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

The Lush near me just wasn't selling Fairy Jasmine any more, which was irritating. I bought something they said was similar (but sweeter). It stained my tub orange, smelt not as nice, and had nowhere near as much glitter. No Lush for me until the Jasmine's resolved.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The only thing I know about this movie is that it was mentioned in some Israeli movies site, and they kept mentioning his name as the current Israeli currency equivalent to the sum of 50 cents. So the kept calling him "2.34 NIS".

NILLY MADE ME GUFAW! Thanks for the chuckle cutiehead Israeli.

YAY for guy finding Theo's wallet.

YAY for shrift appreciation.

I have already been productive today which is nothing short of a miracle.

I let yesterday's yuckiness go, it'sn the past and I've done what I can.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I smell an "Unsafe in Any Bath!!!1!" brouhaha about to begin.

Our wings are not tired.

just sent an e-mail to Big Boss saying I have an amazing turnaround time

I flashed a visual of shrift spinning like a ballerina. Sorry.

Yay for the quick wallet finding. I was catching up on posts and by the time I was thinking ~ma it was already found.

Ugh. I really have to get moving. I haven't done anything today.

Of course you have an amazing turnaround time. It's not like you work your ass off, or anything.

True. I'm sure nobody else in our unit wants to do my "shit runneth downhill" job. One of my coworkers just forced chocolate on me because I've been growling all morning.

And I guess stifling all of those moments of homicidal rage worked out.

Yes, they really don't need to know how close to death they are every minute of every work day.

Let shrift be an example to us all.

Everyone listen to punk rock on iTunes and swear copiously!

You're working so hard, it has to show up, one way or another.

It's a nice change from the "you did it wrong!!! where's my stuff???" e-mails that usually fill my inbox.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

In other words, I thought it was a "he doesn't know which grant he applied for and, thus, if there's a conflict" issue, rather than a "he's just now realizing his group applied for well known X-grant, same as us" issue.

Got it. Sorry if I was snippy--this is so frustrating!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Curse you people for talking about Lush. You know, there's not a location in the entire state of Texas? The closest one? New Orleans. Ha.

I flashed a visual of shrift spinning like a ballerina.

As long as you then flash to a visual of me falling down, because I'm thinking me and toe shoes are not mixy things.

Oh my god. This is what Jaye felt like when she got her Employee of the Month award, isn't it?

Maybe you should follow up by meddling in people's lives at the behest of an inanimate object? Or flirting with a hunky bartender, whichever sounds like more fun to you...
