ita, I'd apologize but man, that line with its perfect set-up, delivery and the pitch-perfect look Colin gave was PRICELESS. Besides, his obvious gorgeousness doesn't get in the way of his comedic gifts.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

As far as I know Colin's been working like a dog in Vancouver for weeks now.
It was a while ago. A month or more even. Or it could have been his brother.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh dear God. That sweet potato story made me laugh so hard that I nearly peed myself. That ranks up there with the Tomato Nation Cat Vs. Roomba essay.
Be careful, Sean, Allyson, and anyone else by Griffith! I couldn't believe the smoke as I was driving home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
HR has just told me, in effect, "But there's that provision we didn't tell you about (and which apparently contradicts what we did tell you) that mean you have to spend a bunch more money."

WTF?

Now you make me want to go back and watch my TiVoed Eureka. Except I'm supposed to be waiting on a friend, and he wants to finish Angel first. Uh, we haven't even met Jasmine yet.
Oy. And now I'm apparently actually doing actual work for my paycheque. I'm not sure they mentioned that in the interview. Not explicitly.
ETA: Cash, it's some retraction of deadlines based on when money was taken out of my paycheque, etc. Me, I only care about the deadline you told me, and the point at which you told me the changes had been processed. I met both those. The rest is them trying to kill my brain.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I need to cook dinner. Will someone come over and chop up my squash for me? Other than that, the recipe's easy. But I don't feel like chopping vegetables. Wanna lay odds I'll just make some pasta dish instead?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally screwed over my new employee by giving her bad information in her interview, but I can't believe that HR didn't tell her ANYTHING about the benefits. Which she did not. Cripes.

Bah! And now I can't find phone numbers for a suddenly moved up deadline for which I have no information.
I'm ccing some emails and writing up some action items and breaking out of this crazy joint. I will not be chopping squash, however, and I feel good about that, though sad no one's chopping for Liese.
Maybe I will swim tonight, or maybe I'll take that damned Percoset and slepp. I hear the humans do that.

Our wings are not tired.
DH is out of town. I had a tomato sandwich, Bobby made Mac 'n Cheese, and Brendon made himself crab legs. It was an every person for themselves kinda meal. And now I have wine.
