"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

And it continues. I just got the most obnoxious response EVAR, "clarifying" what she's looking for.

I'm seriously about to cry.

Come have a smoke with me Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would love to! Instead I am going to hold out until I leave here, which will be VERY shortly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

[link] That made me laugh.

Aimee, I think that is the funniest thing I have seen in FOREVER. I can't stop laughing!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimee, I think that is the funniest thing I have seen in FOREVER. I can't stop laughing!

What made me laugh even more was the person that posted in response to it "What the hell is this? Is this a joke? This is why I don't post here anymore. You people are crazy!"

Dog is my co-pilot.

Aimée, I love that. It's been circulating in the rescue community for years, but it always makes me laugh.

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

Oy. Work craziness. But not as much as you have, Jesse. Go drink.

I haven't eaten popcorn in years, sadly. I'm not sure how it changed or why, but as soon as most people think it's done I think it's pain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's been circulating in the rescue community for years, but it always makes me laugh.

Yeah, I remember that one from back in usenet days, but it's been a while since I've seen it. Still cracks my shit up.

(eta: and now I'm wondering if the names have been changed for more up-to-date baby-naming trends. And I'm so not doing that bit of hunting right now.)

The status is NOT quo.

I'm getting my hair cut by the OTS right now, AIFG!

That rescue listing cracks me the heck up.

Jesse, I'm sorry you're having a rough day.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Allyson, i love internet drama as much as the next person, but definitely step away from the crazy. i think maybe he wants to make f_w.

hee! i love the craigslist ad. people are funnee.

IOMeMeMeN, i'm so pissed. i went to the doctor on the 3rd because i was running a low grade fever on and off, my ears were hurting andjust generally felt crappy. i finished up the antibiotic on monday, but my ears are still hurting and i now have the added bonus of dizzy spells. so i called the doctor this morning at 8 am to get them to call me something else in. called at 2, doctor still hadn't gotten around to me. called at 4, still hasn't gotten around to me. i left them my pharmacy's #s so they wouldn't have to call me and get it to go any further. that way i could hopefully pick it up on my way home from work. got a call back at 4:30 or so from the nurse saying the doctor wants me to come in for another check-up. i called BS and said an ear infection is an ear infection and the other dr had told me to just call back if the first antibiotic didn't do the trick. she says she'll talk to the doctor. five minutes later, she calls back again and says he's firm in wanting me to come back in. i then did a dramatic flounce and told her i'd be finding a new dr because having me come in and pay another co-pay was shady and all he was going to do was look in my ears and tell me i have an ear infection and prescribe me an antibiotic.

gah! HATE!! it's okay though. the guy i usually saw at that office has moved recently and i'll just follow him.

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

At my last gig there was a trash can right by the door to the restroom to serve the people that didn't want to touch the handle. They could just throw away their protective paper towel right there, instead of carrying it to their desk.

Just saw a guy come out of the men's room here with the protective paper and then use it to open the door to the lobby. Which makes me think that either he's crazy or I am, because I've certainly not been considering it a germ fest above and beyond any other non-restroom door.

I tried to see if he used it on his next door, but I'm just not that slick.
