Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
This has been a looooong day. I went from pleasantly up to giddy to absofuckin'lutely exhausted. Starting at about 4pm, I tried to print out the more noteworthy thankyou emails I'd gotten from customers. I only just finished printing and copying those about 20 min. ago. There were two co-workers who were staying late but eventually they left. Leaving me (Oh! The irony!) alone to lock up the office. I'd had to turn my keys in midday. So I had to make sure that when I left I had everything I needed with me because otherwise I wouldn't be able to get it 'til Monday at the earliest.
I took one pile of customer emails home with me (it was really about a ream) and left another on the coffee table in the atrium with a fluorescent yellow card on top that said in red sharpie "When Customer Service Walked Rocked The Earth".
They weren't even all my best work. It was just easiest to find the ones that were classified "Thanks". Sometimes the stuff I worked hardest on was stuff the customer didn't thank me for. Well, as exhausting as it was to spend hours at my computer printing that stuff out (my neck is killing me), it was good to reread those emails. It reminded me of how fastidious I can be. There were definitely times when I went through all kinds of gyrations to cover some corporate fuckup or t'other.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mmm. Goat. Escoveitched fish. Rice and peas. Plaintains. Rum punch. Sorrel. "Rum" cake.
I think I can sleep now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Good for you for taking those along (and leaving copies as a reminder of what you've done).
I slept from just before midnight to just after six. I'm telling myself it's practice for DST tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.
OK, I have this friend who mocks me for my covered litterboxes. She thinks they are "trendy." I'm so telling her I'm getting that one!
Um, with two dogs who like to play in the cat poop, covers on my litterboxes are pretty much a necessity. Mine has a handy, hinged lid. Sadly, it's not hot pink.

I look forward to the fake pages every year
