"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Are you planning on playing any poker?

No, but we are planning on using our VIP Line Passes to cut the line at the Bellagio's superdeluxe fancy buffet, and make the plebian masses shake their fists at us with bitter class consciousness.

Actually there's a huge Rockabilly convention that weekend as well, so I expect JZ will be tarted out in crinolines and swirly skirts.

I solved the problem of where my cat is headed by just naming her after a diety. May not have been the wisest thing ever.

Had a surprisingly painless quarterly/annual review. Which is totally not fair, because I am a terribly lazy, unambitious but highly efficient slacker. I really should be called on it.

Also the falls are running very high. Snowmelt!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Should not!

And congrats on the good review.

Dear Calli, you are not fat. You may at some time in your life have been fat, but at no time since I have known you.

Interesting statistics news: HR reported (in a small committee meeting a friend of mine attended, not a press release) that 15% of Looniversity employees are on antidepressants, and treatment of depression is the largest single medical expense. Unfortunately HR did not seem to take away the message that maybe improving the work environment could help reduce this cost.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

make the plebian masses shake their fists at us with bitter class consciousness.

Are there any plebian masses at the Bellagio?

I envy Alibelle her phone pep, and also the talking lots to Robin.

I had that same review last week! Way better than I deserved, frankly, which is nice, considering all the other bs I'm currently dealing with at work.

It really doesn't motivate me to maintain or develop a better work ethic. Or rather, drag my work ethic back from the islands and make it do something. Which allows for me to continue not caring about disliking the job so much my work ethic went awol and thus I continue to manage to not get out and do something I might actually like.

If that makes any sense outside my head.

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

My review shows up sometime this week. We'll see.
