You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yah shrift. All the kids who have to wear winter coats over their halloween costumes tomorrow are going to blame you.

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

At the moment, it seems to be warmer in Chicago than it is in Los Angeles. I reserve the right to have five seconds of "IM IN UR FACE STEALIN UR RAYZ" before it begins snowing.

Dude, your projected high for tomorrow is lower than our projected lows all week. You deserve this moment.

Thank you, ita. It's Monday, and I need all the tiny, happy anomalies I can find.

OK, this is hilarious. Apparently, there is some abuse of parking cards, or something. Why anyone would short of the stupid card readers not working is beyond me, but anywho. This just went out in an email from the head of facilities:

To 99% of staff, we appreciate all your continued cooperation with the parking policies in place. To the remaining 1% I live for your reply.

Snork.

Omg, why did I agree to write this section of the manual? I think I'm going to have to poke my eyes out.

Ugh. Use a pun...and you know what happens!

I'm sure a suitable punishment will be coming forthwith.

Someone's going to have to send me a toaster. I converted a friend to Buffy. I loaned her my season 1 and 2 dvds and she's in love.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had a ridiculous work crisis at work, that involved much freaking out and running around and panicking on my part, all of which was fixed by a five minute conversation with the CEO. This is why she's the boss. I swear.

I'm glad for the kids here that it's supposed to be high of 68 tomorrow, except for the ones who planned a warm costume.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I need a toaster. The one we had belonged to the house. I was going to just buy one, but it'd probably be easier to convert a friend.

Also, it turns out that if I have salad fixings in the fridge, come lunchtime, I will actually eat them. Whodathunk?

Can you sue a witch if her spells don't work? Apparantly....

Seems fair enough to me. In some cities in the U.S. that could have earned her a fraud conviction.

> But back in 1470 B.C., this was the agenda for one of ancient Egypt's most raucous rituals, the "festival of drunkenness,"

Shouldn't that be "Ra-cous rituals"?

Oh, and from the Egyptian link -ancient Egyptian birth control may have included:

stone amulets that served as intrauterine devices.

Ouch!
