Some nice lady sent me pictures this morning. How kind.

Natter 41: Why Do I Click on ita's Links?!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
oh my.
I need one of those for Christmas.
And just so you guys know I do have boundaries, I recently stumbled across crime-scene pictures of three of Tookie Williams's victims, and I'm totally not propagating the link.
Also, in spite of what our gubortinator says, there are real questions about whether they were in fact Tookie Williams victims or someone else's. I would never call him innocent; he most likely directly murdered someone sometime, and most certainly murdered a great many people indirectly by founding the crips. But there is a good chance he did not murder the particular person he as executed for killing.
so, even though today is only like a high temp of 26 F, I had salad for lunch.
Trying to eat a wee bit better.
I was able to get the stamps I wanted and get the family holiday cards mailed while out for lunch. YAY!
There's an office-wide (i.e. not just our dept.) holiday lunch party on Friday, and apparently my boss decided that would be "enough".
Were I you I'd remember the word "enough" should he call with any work related questions once the employment is at an end.
Dear Clients,
I know we've had this talk before, but perhaps it's time for a refresher course:
1) I am not the Department of Everything.
2) Please see above. No, now read it. Carefully. You didn't comprehend it, did you?
3) When you ask me for things that do not fall under my purview and I redirect you to the proper channels, it is a courtesy.
4) When I don't redirect you quickly enough and you miss a deadline, please stop blaming it on me.
5) I will cut you.
Thanks,
Me
Dear Coworker,
I don't apologize for startling you so badly that you screamed like a little girl just now, since you were in my office and should have expected to find me there. I do apologize for laughing at you for five minutes straight. That was probably a little much.
Sincerely,
Me
shrift makes me laugh out loud.
You know, I think point number 5 really sends the right message.
1) I am not the Department of Everything.
I need to print this out in ten-foot high flaming letters and post it above my desk at all times.
