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

Allyson, is there anyone else who could maybe stop in one day and play with kitty for a bit?

Win schmin. Shrift Smash. It'll probably be good for your blood pressure and it'll serve 'em right.

Actually, them getting me to the Shrift Smash point is very bad for my blood pressure. Especially as it turns out that I'm being harassed for something we do not have. So they're all flipping out like mammals, and there's nothing I can do. There's your status update, huffy snappish lady!

Instead of smashing, I have put on my "Songs for the Homicidal Maniac" iTunes playlist. And I'm going to breathe. Breathe. Breeeeaaaaaathe.

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

Aw, Burrell, I wish i had time to get my key to you. My tub is clean, I got a supply of LUSH, you could take a kid vacation and have a bubble bath at my place for the price of giving my kitty fresh water.

Coding and Sleeping

"Songs for the Homicidal Maniac"

What's on that list?

Always by Saliva, One Step Closer by Linkin Park, Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Also at work today. Will be at work Friday. I'm told that I may be the only person in the division who will be here on Friday.

Me in charge -- a scary thought, even if it is likely to be the quietest day of the year.

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

Ruby will be fine, Allyson, and love you forever once you get back (except for a possible I hate you period which will last about 5 minutes).

Bizarrely, I am ahead of schedule. My suuitcase is in my car, everything else is ready, and I don't have to leave for about 20 minutes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can't believe I have to leave before Ellen gets to New York's smallest apartments,

OMG can someone tape this for me? This. Sounds. Awesome. (and I bet mine is smaller)

Aw, Burrell, I wish i had time to get my key to you. My tub is clean, I got a supply of LUSH, you could take a kid vacation and have a bubble bath at my place for the price of giving my kitty fresh water.

hmmm....

Allyson, do you have a trusted shop-keeper in the neighborhood you could leave an envelope with? Or is that just a New York thing?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The bubble bath would have been bonus.

What's up with your neighbor not coming home anyway? I have a vague memory of a life when that sort of thing happened, crashed on a friend's couch, etc. But it's been a long time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

All you Dallas haters make me sad.

Not my fault. I'm a Saints fan.

Oh. My. GAWDS! The little 5 yr. old of one of the DJs at the radio station came in my office, as she often does. She asked me when my birthday was, and I told her Saturday, November 26, and of course she asked how old I'll be, and I told her 30 and that I'm 29 right now, and she's all ""and then you'll be 31, and 32, 33, 34, 35 and pretty soon you'll be 100!"

I'd have strangled her if she weren't adorable.
