If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh, brenda, that's like something out of a soap opera. Are you sure you haven't accidentally shifted over to The Office AU?
Hah. You don't know the half of it.
Well, here's half. My boss just called the hotel to have them refax it because it was "illegible."
And Minion is on the verge of losing it at my boss for being pissed at him in the first place.
Still don't know if BigBoss has figured out or been told what happened. Though we do know that he didn't/hasn't yet picked the stuff back up from the front desk, I guess.
Can't decide yet if it's a good thing that I'll be out on Monday, when BigBoss is scheduled to be in the office.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Laura, your baby boy is a MAN! And he looks just like you guys -- cute!

Probably good for you, but bad for us!

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?
Is it wrong of me that I'm really intrigued by all the goings on at Brenda's office? I mean, she's not in the middle of it so nothing can happen to her because of it. (right, brenda? Dear me, I hope not!) This is fascinating.

Our wings are not tired.
Hee. Brenda you need to reschedule to be in the office Monday.
Laura, your baby boy is a MAN!
Hey! He is still a baby. Only 14 with the cute peachfuzz on his face, and his chest which he is less thrilled about. He is enjoying HS so far. This is a good thing. May it last 4 years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Video game economist Ed Castronova (whose back-of-the-envelope math on the GDP of Everquest's Norrath made a huge stir) has received a $240,000 MacArthur grant to fund the creation of a virtual world built on the works of Shakespeare:
"It's a historical Shakespeare play, so that means it's really easy for us to take all the sort of fantasy stuff like knights in shining armor and peasants and woodworkers...and we can just really fit right into 'Richard III' right away."
...
He said one of the more unique elements of "Arden" is that the game will be seeded with Shakespearean texts, many of which will be the most valuable treasure players can find.
"If you collect the 'To be or not be' speech and then take it to a lore master or to a skilled bard, he can then apply the magic to your broad sword or you (could) utilize the magic in a battle situation to give you this massive (advantage)," Castronova explained. "So there (will be) this intensive competition to get the best speeches of Shakespeare in your play book.v
"You've got to know your Shakespeare, but...if you do, collect these texts and you can just playfully kick butt the way wizards do."
