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

If you have a Mac (or a Linux/Unix box) there's an easy way to see the calendar for any month ever.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am completely and utterly ridiculous. And a bit of an Eeyore.

Well, do you like your job? If you've been thinking about jumping ship, a higher salary would make that kind of move less desirable. I get that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Anyone watching the Pop Culture World Series on VH1? Cause it's kinda kick ass.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The raise is good, though!

In weird raise stories, I just got a letter that I got a 3.1% merit raise this year. Last year I was told that the uni did not give merit raises-- everyone always got 2 %. This is crazy, because when I worked for other sections of the university, I one got a 10% merit raise. I asked again about merit raises and was still told that there was no such thing. I guess the first rule of a merit raise is that there is no such thing as a merit raise.

(mind you, the difference is only 14 cents per hour-- and extra $291 per year.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am, in theory, though mostly that means that Tivo is catching them for me and I saw some of the first one.

It looks fun though.

What is even happening?

Well, it was a Friday in 1967.

Cashmere's a 1970s baby.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Well, it was a Friday in 1967.

I was born on a Monday. That actually explains A LOT.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think I was born on a Sunday. Tomorrow, coincidentally, is my birthday. I plan to buy myself cake.

I got a raise. I can never leave this job, no one else would pay me this to do what I do.

oh, sarameg. My sister in well-compensated pain. Eeyore is, like, my totem animal.

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

Cashmere was born on my father's birthday, which I consider auspicious. Also Margaret Thatcher's birthday, which is ominous. Marie Osmond and a litter of our puppies, which is neutral to cute.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sure, but it makes next years merit raise come off a higher base. You know, assuming there is a merit raise...
