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

And now the elevators are broken, and I just had to stomp up six flights of stairs. Yo, Friday? None, none more hateful.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

My life is reduced to hobbling from the recliner to the computer to the freezer to get the ice pack.

Dana, I have osteoarthritis in my toes, and I find that cold makes them hurt, while heat (especially immersion in hot water) helps more than anything else, with the effect lasting several hours.

Of course, if the ice is making you feel better, than you should go with that treatment.

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

Shrift, Joss also said:

Anybody here care to tell Apollo and the Midnighter how a hero should behave? To their faces?

Nervous - I'm waiting for a business call and as a phone-o-phobe, I'm not too thrilled about the idea. I'm just asking for some information, so it wouldn't be a big deal to, say, a normal person.

How are you?

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

Bah. Dog naughtiness has resulted in diarrhea all over my office floor .

Sometimes I feel like the only person here that takes meetings seriously.

I just had someone lean over and say "Sorry! I'm stuck over here!" 20 minutes after the meeting he'd scheduled was due to start. It would have been a 30 minute meeting. He didn;t look very sorry.

Finally got the most elusive guy in the department to a meeting--we've been chasing him for weeks, and my co-project manager never showed or called. No problem--I handled it myself, but I'd never miss a meeting without making an excuse to someone closer to the start time than the end.

Of course, people never miss the meetings I want to disappear.
