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

Now tagless for your comfort.

Floral urinals = pretty

Cheney = evil

Shark = scary (but not as scary as Cheney)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica! I didn't get a chance yet to congratulate you and your DH about the new place! Go you!

Thanks Nilly!

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

Those floral urinals...ick. They're loud and crudely drawn for me.

I do love that first bathroom, the one that's above the article. Gorgeous.

What is even happening?

Did anyone watch Knights of Prosperity, last night?

I thought it was much better than last week, although still more typically sitcom-y, than the first two episodes. I laughed at the scene where they were going to take a vote, and the conversation devolved into administrivia about whether it would need to be unanimous, or a majority, etc. etc. etc. Then I remembered bon bon's friend writes for it, and laughed a little more.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I do, too (if the urinal is taken out).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I should say, it's a friend-of-someone Bob knows on the writing staff. I didn't love last night's-- there were good moments, like the unicorn, but the writing seemed rushed-- no one considered that the briefcase was *not* filled with $$$? And the big reveal was that it was all a test? Isn't that what someone would have assumed? I'll keep watching it though. I think the bones are there, it just needs more time to settle in.

I woke up instantly alert and well-rested, thought "UH OH!"

Add to that "The room's a lot brighter than it should be--oh, crap, sunlight!"

KoP

What you said about the briefcase. Who tests an unknown with 150,000 real dollars ? And yeah, that they didn't get it was a test really stretched it for me. But the whole conversation about voting tickled quite hard. I wondered, for a moment, if your Bob's friend had ever lurked in Bureaucracy.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

We no longer have a receptionist on our floor for some reason, and I haven't been able to find a good rumor as to why. And the other receptionist on the floor got tapped to replace a long time employee who apparently left/got laid off/for some reason is gone, baby, gone!

Oh, the intrigue!

So we have absolutely no receptionist on this floor, which means they have locked the doors so only people with keycards can get in. This is problematic, since many, many customers come in to do business with a big department on our floor.

And guess where the doors are?

Right. Behind. My desk.
