Laura: Too right there. Sparky1: Me too! Jessica: Me boggled, yup. Strega: You are entirely right. Fred Pete: Verily, egad. I think I left my jaw back in last week. Meara: AND bizarrely hostile. Sail: You’re hired to implement your evil Plan of Doom. Libkitty: Agreed, that one won’t be satisfied with anything. DavidS: and then we’ll do your evil boss. Trudy: Bwah. D’ya think this is somehow Tom’s fault??? I need focus for my blame! MG: Just a little bit of crapulence should be enough, I think.
The thing about bosses who expect mindreading as a basic skill is that they have this happy little fantasy where the help is getting stuff done and they don’t have to do anything tedious like saying what they want. What they don’t imagine: people like me would read their nasty little minds, find all the dirt, and then sit them down for a nice long uncomfortable session about what it will to take to keep the tale of the unreported commission from the IRS, the shenanigans from the wife, etc.
Off to try out that Triple Garlic Chicken Soup, served with buttered rolls. Back tomorrow, for yea, verily, I am free from web traffic monitoring software and looking for entertainment and cromulence.
All 4 have been yanked. They have a pressure bandage on her head, she is pitifully adorable, not that she would agree with you. Apparently her tongue is still numb and it is bugging her.
Oh, I remember the rubber tongue. And lips! Don't let her try to eat anything for hours and hours or she will chew them right off without knowing it.
Poor K-Bug. Please give her my sympathies.
Jilli! Did you know that in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy xmas special Santa gets bit by a vampire and sleeps in a gingerbread coffin?!
Oooooh! Okay, I need to see that.
Everyone needs to see The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. And not just the Xmas special -- pretty much any episode will do. Hell, the cartoon features Eris as a character. (She wields a golden apple, and likes to "get jiggy with the chaos." It's fucking *brilliant.*)
Katerina Bee, add me to the gobsmacked crowd. I also want to commit violence on the fuckwit employers.
I found out last night that my uncle died. A WEEK AGO. My mom just doesn't tell me things.
My dad lost two of his sisters this year. Nobody told me anything until over a MONTH after they had died. My dad's family is very weird. No funeral services, no family recognition, no nothing.
My mom's family, for all their fucked-upness is still rallying around their brother. All ten surviving sibs are helping out taking care of my uncle in the last days of his battle with cancer.
vw, I hope you've managed to beat back the migraine with a very big stick.
It's time to pull out my exercise ball. The computer chair is no longer very comfortable.

Is this going to make me think twice about getting rid of cable?
Gentle hugs to K-Bug. Wisdom teeth extraction is of the suck.
Still boggling at Katie Bee's story. I just...there are no words. I so want to read the unexpurgated letter you write to them initially.

It might, at that. Cartoon Network is just about the only channel I watch these days.
