Seems like I should share this in Natter.

Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The cafe near work has been out of quiche for the whole week!!!!
Is that a good reason to be cranky?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
As far as I know, we aren't closing early, which makes me somewhat cranky for no good reason.
We *never* close early, unless there's life-threatening snow falling.
Which there is not, currently.
Meh.

Aw, the Buffista baptism dress.
We're still here! It's an outrage. Even if New Year's Eve is still two days away. Especially since our boss is in Florida.

What about for an imminent Second Coming.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We are open 24 hrs, so no early leaving ever. As a salaried person, I can leave a bit early if I choose. and I think I WILL choose today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
This will be the last "closing early". From now on it will be, if all your work is done, you can leave early. AS IF!

I'm guessing the fact that we aren't closing early is proof that Jesus isn't coming back today.
Meh again.

Typo takes tourist 13,000 km out
Hasn't something like this been in the news before?
BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A 21-year-old German tourist who wanted to visit his girlfriend in the Australian metropolis Sydney landed 13,000 kilometers (8,077 miles) away near Sidney, Montana, after mistyping his destination on a flight booking Web site.
Dressed for the Australian summer in T-shirt and shorts, Tobi Gutt left Germany on Saturday for a four-week holiday.
Instead of arriving "down under", Gutt found himself on a different continent and bound for the chilly state of Montana.
"I did wonder but I didn't want to say anything," Gutt told the Bild newspaper. "I thought to myself, you can fly to Australia via the United States."
Gutt's airline ticket routed him via the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon, to Billings, Montana. Only as he was about to board a commuter flight to Sidney -- an oil town of about 5,000 people -- did he realize his mistake.
The hapless tourist, who had only a thin jacket to keep out the winter cold, spent three days in Billings airport before he was able to buy a new ticket to Australia with 600 euros in cash that his parents and friends sent over from Germany.
