I think my building counts as a high-rise, so I can hide in the closet instead of the basement.
Anyway, it's all quiet at the moment.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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?
I'm still at work and the clouds are clearing up downtown. The last bits of sun for the evening are poking through.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I'm watching Criminal Minds from whenever, and it's weird, after watching Dead Like Me all summer, to see Mandy Patinkin talking about Rules and the following thereof.

OMG, St. Ignatius is playing Sacred Heart Cathedral in prep football across the street at Kezar Stadium and it sounds like the Christians have been thrown to the lions.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Oy. Glad there were no actual tornados. One of our sys admins called in to ask how things were going on at our corporate office. I told him I had no clue, since I wasn't there, but considering I was still RDPed into a PC down there and accessing several servers, it was a pretty safe bet the building was still in one piece.
ION, straw, camel, broken back, get me the fuck out of this place. I got my paycheck today. They dropped my payrate to the exact amount needed to where working 45 hours a week, with overtime, equals what I was getting paid weekly in salary for 40 hours of work. I called my boss to express my outrage and he informed me the CIO has stated he feels 45 hours of work is standard for IT.
I am pissed beyond all reason.

He can feel anything he likes, but unless you're classified exempt, the Federal government says differently.

I'm technically getting paid overtime. They just futzed with the numbers so that despite me working 45 hours a week, five of them considered overtime, I get paid exactly the same as I was getting as a 40-hour a week salary employee.
ETA: To clarify, my hourly pay rate got dropped almost $3 an hour. So I work more hours, on a shittier shift, for the same amount of pay I was making before they switched me to hourly.
