Well, it was a Friday in 1967.
I was born on a Monday. That actually explains A LOT.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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
I guess the first rule of a merit raise is that there is no such thing as a merit raise.
t drops dead laughing
(mind you, the difference is only 14 cents per hour-- and extra $291 per year.)
Sure, but it makes next years merit raise come off a higher base. You know, assuming there is a merit raise...

And don't forget Chris Carter. And, of course, me and Matt the Bruins Fan.

Yeah, Friday the 13th not such a thing to be avoided as far as I'm concerned, since I get treated to dinner, pumpkin pie, and presents on some of them.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I was born on a Sunday. The same day and year Marilyn Monroe's body was found. So if she was murdered, I have a perfect alibi.
My brother was born on a Friday the 13th. On the plus side, meant I got cake occasionally (but no presents). On the minus side, I got a brother that I never got along with.

I'm sure you can blame Chris Carter.

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 was born on a Monday. That actually explains A LOT.
Monday's child is fair of face. That totally works for you. I was born on a Tuesday, whose child is full of grace. Totally NOT me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for raises, sarameg!
I can't decide what to do next, run errands, finish up the washing of the couch slipcovers, or clean the toilets. Yes that's right, each task is drearier than the last.
