Punishingly Intricate

Their office cat, Monty, occasionally tries to liberate food from the bags they sell. He thoughtfully picked a bag of the diabetic food this time. So they gave me a bag decorated with a ribbon and tape over the tiny hole, reading " Happy Holidays to Mister Kitty, Love Monty."

HEY! I was in there buying food the day he did that and had to buy a big bag instead of the smaller bag I normally get because of him. Why no free food for me?! I spent about 1 brazillion dollars on vet care there this year. I am so giving them shit about that the next time I'm in.

Mister Kitty? Is a slut. I think that's why. Or maybe because he nearly died this summer. Next time, ask Monty to do that while your guys are boarding... (pssst, I also brought them cookies not long ago...)

I love Monty. When he's out, he always tries to sit on MK.

Ooh cookies good idea! That did remind me that I have to call and see if I can board the Swifty over MLK weekend.

I love that Monty too! He has the perfect personality for an office cat.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

Toilet Terror vs. Toilet~ma. Which will win?

I'm putting my money on the ~ma.

My office is scary-quiet this week. Now would be a good time to reformat ugly tables.

Is it morally wrong to participate in a group effort to overload the server of a site that you find reprehensible?

I don’t know from morals, but the original post seemed fine to me. A link was posted. The person posting the link encouraged people to view it for malicious reasons, but meh.

Though I have filed that away for future viral marketing schemes.

Further down, where they’re getting into orchestrated DOS attacks, I probably wouldn’t say “immoral,” but I would say “illegal and idiotic.” I don’t know what exactly they think they’re accomplishing, honestly.

It does remind me of an ethically murky scheme someone had a while back. Let me see if I can find it.

We did, Liese. We're sorry we missed you too.

No work for me, but I'm organizing papers and files. My life, she is full up of the glamourousness.
