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!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Point number five is swiftly becoming my favorite threat in the world. People really sit up and take notice of that one.

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

Yes. I would put it next to the "Do your own job" sign that's also in my imaginary cubicle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
DirecTV fined for do-not-call violations
But the FTC, in its complaint, alleges that DirecTV "knew or consciously avoided knowing" that do not call violations were occurring.
Can I just say that "consciously avoided knowing" is my new favorite phrase?

It has been determined that shrift's clients knew or consciously avoided knowing that they are wankers.
