Oh, man. I felt like my meeting was going on forever, but figured I'd only spent about an hour in there (don't wear a watch).
Nope, it was closer to two. I feel more justified in wanting a nap now.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here is a picture of my cat in a Stormtrooper uniform: [link]

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
First, you can't fly if they think you're too fat, now you can't fly if your outfit is "too revealing".
But she DID fly. She just pulled down and up her shirt and pulled down her skirt. The picture of her is "after" the adjustment.
I'm not sure its worth making a fuss about. She was embarassed to be called on her tiny outfit but not embarassed to wear it?
Of course, if they were rude to her that's not ok.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
deep breaths
Thanks, DJ.
I've emailed my boss and coworkers to nudge them to give me what I need to complete the report by Tuesday.
That is all I can do.
I will NOT dwell on it.
I will NOT stew.
It isn't worth it. I'm going to go help with afternoon orientation and then have a good weekend and use the intelligence that I have even if this guy doesn't know it to work on my current manuscript.

The maximum risk to falling cats question reminds me of the old story about engineers inspecting bombers returning from missions in WWII. The first impulse would be to figure out which parts of the plane were damaged most often by enemy fire, and reinforce or armor those parts. Supposedly, the correct answer was to reinforce/armor the parts that were not damaged in the returning planes. You already know that the damage to the returning planes is survivable. It’s the parts NOT damaged in the returning planes that need additional armor, because the planes that were damaged there did not return.
I have no idea if that story is really true, but I find it to be a good heuristic tool when inspecting scientific results from multiple angles. In the “how many stories fall are the maximum risk to cats” example, you could look for the fall heights that were under-represented in the population of cats brought to the hospital. That might be a good guess for maximum fatality, because it is the very dead cats that you don't see in your data. They've joined the bleedin' choir invisible.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If I had a couple doses of Tylenol today (7AM, 11AM), can I have a drink with dinner, or will my liver explode?
