That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yin/Yang... My coffee maker died 1/4 of the way through brewing a pot but I unexpectedly got today off work.
I've skipped all the Oscar fashion commentary and I'm much happier for it. I really prefer when the awards show is about appreciating and acknowledging the work that goes into creating the movies. (Just stating my opinion, not reacting to anything because as I said, I skipped.) I'm glad they didn't try to continue the stupid idea of presenting the "minor" awards in the aisle. That sucked last year. I really liked the sense of looking at moviemaking history in the montages (although I thought their definition of "epic" was a little loose). The props cracked me up (penguins and bow ties)! My personal surprise of the night... I've worked with one of the winners (Eric Simonson [link] ). I've also worked with Itzhak Perlman, but I wasn't so surprised to see him there.
And from a day or two ago... my checks are Wizard of Oz.

OK, my boss "helpfully" gave me a couple excel tips. Which I've known forever, I just don't find the need organize that way with these numbers, especially not on a spreadsheet that is in development (as in, I'm still experimenting with different calculations. And god forbid, I produce for general consumption a chart with peptobismol pink as this one has.)
I really really really want to say "I know that. I chose not to use that deliberately."

I'm restraining myself, but let me know if you'd like me to charge in and say "WTF? Seriously, WTF?"
No, it's fine. I don't need a kerfuffle today.
I may have to go home early, though, so I can die in my own bed.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Big Dog. No, not that one. My valley hasn't been this uncanny EVER.
I watched that the other day. Free-key. I got the strong sense while watching that there were two pairs of disembodied human legs on the thing. My brain almost finds it easier to pretend it's a special effect than something real.
eta: The freakiest is when the guy kicks it and it catches itself so it won't fall over....
