You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Today's imponderable question: how did there get to be so much cat hair inside my refrigerator?

What is even happening?

Where's the cat? Where's Casper, in relation to the cat?

Heh. I'm pretty sure it's happened over the mumblemumble months (um, years?) since I last wiped out the fridge, not in one incident. But damn, that's a lot of hair to mysteriously drift in.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So very cranky today.

People keep coming up to me and demanding I solve their problems right away, even though nobody has a clue what's wrong.

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

So very cranky today.

Yeah, uhuh. Me. Too.

At least, so far, my manager isn't bearing down on me with the rest of the world.

But it's still early.

My manager ditched to day. Right now I'm supposed to be in a meeting that I learned about 20 minutes ago. I decided that sustenance was more important.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm about to pass out, waiting for my free lunch.

Jesse, stop waiting--there's no such thing.

My manager's back after two days out. Back to me running into her office and begging for more information, if not actually protection.

We shall see how it turns out.

Well, how about, I am wasting time until my lunch arrives.

Okay, that's a wee bit better.

Wow. People.

In 2005 the American Cancer Society conducted a telephone survey of 957 adult Americans who had never had cancer, asking each of them about five common fallacies about the disease. Of the participants, nearly 41 percent believed surgeries to remove cancer actually caused the disease to spread, and another 13 percent weren't sure whether that was true or not. 27 percent of those surveyed believed the medical industry was withholding from the public a cure for cancer just to increase profits, and another 14 percent weren't sure but thought they might be. 19 percent believed pain medications were ineffective against cancer pain (with a further 13 percent unsure), and 7 percent thought the disease was an illness that could not be effectively treated. Finally, 5 percent of those taking part in the survey believed that all that was needed to beat the Big C was a positive attitude.
