On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're talking about cat poop. I can take it...but I'm sure it violates the InterBunny Geneva Convention.

I stopped! It was very brief.

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?

It was very brief.

And very stinky.

I'd like to state I never used that phrase. I was nice and vague.

Better you people than my coworkers, is all I'm saying. I already had a chat about my officemate's boyfriend's trip to the urologist, and I have to draw the line somewhere.

InterBunny Geneva Convention.

I would like to see the text of this. I would like to count the times I have violated it.

I have to draw the line somewhere.

Jesse, you were no where near my line. You can talk about cat poop all you want.

Some things should not be discussed with coworkers. Yipes.

I can only assume you ran screaming out of the office, possibly having the cowboy hat falling off in your wake.

It may not be true that the cat food is always the same, even though it's the same brand every time. For pet food, I wouldn't be surprised if you're allowed to vary proportions of beef vs turkey vs tofu or whatev' without labelling it anywhere, not to mention stuff like food dyes, if they ran out of Red No. 2 and substituted Red No. 3 that day down at the plant.

Herding cats for fun

This is why I KNOW I am an introvert, despite all my cow-orkers protests-- I need like 5 hours of self time a day! And, like, a whole weekend day. I think if I had an SO around and we were both doing things quietly or talking a bit, that would be OK. Maybe.

Wow, you guys are so my people! Now I feel all validated in my practice of hermitage. Note: An SO who can happily potter around the house and not bother you for awhile is probably worth his weight in gold-pressed latinum.

But the decompression thing is also the main reason I always take the Monday following a Con off of work. Not just to catch up on sleep but to have a break from a full weekend of OMGLotsofpeople!

This this this. Too much and I start to crave a nice quiet empty white room to counteract all the stimulation.

Oh, and cereal back to the Jesus minimum wage discussion -- I'm pretty sure I'm on firm theological ground in my belief that Jesus would have been a union carpenter if they'd had them back when.
