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

Are their lights flashing?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

nope - and they are gone. I am guessing that either there was a problem with one of the people working on the house - or a permit problem - or maybe even a neighbor complaint. but still when any blokes my driveway I get a bit freaked

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I'm going to go be a breakfast temp tomorrow. Isn't one of the perks of a temp agency supposed to be work on short notice? Oh well.

I checked with my HR folks this afternoon before I left for some mental health time, and I'm entitled to three days of bereavement for immediate family, which MILs count as. If the funeral's on a weekday, I'm definitely using it, and I may take Friday if it's Saturday. The Puritan side of me says, "But you don't feel bereaved!" as the decadent part says, "Mini-vacation! Here's to you, Mom!"

Three days would be a god send if I was organizing things, of course, and karmically I don't think I'll abuse it. I've comforted myself by saying it'll look a little odd if I don't take one day after letting them know.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

God speed, Iva Neil. connie, taking a day or two is perfectly acceptable, even if you aren't breaking down emotionally bereaved.

Much with the storming today. Much with the sick today. Much with the sleeping today.
