Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Happy birthday, Kate!

I love those tiles. The Vespa one is too cute.

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

Yeah, aiming Nilly or Hil at a sixth grader's math problem is like using a bazooka as a flyswatter.

So, like a Monty Python sketch?

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

Happy Birthday Kate!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Happy Birthday, Kate-est of Kates!

It's...oddly distasteful, and they don't seem to recognize that.
Yes, exactly. Comparison seems to be human nature, but it certainly isn't always useful. Or tasteful.

Hee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which is why I plan on asking nice Big!Boss to approve (after giving her the backstory) tomorrow when crazy!boss is not here.

I hate crazy bosses! Why oh why are there so many of them. Come to find out, several of my junior coworkers worry about what they are having for lunch every day because they don't want to hear about it from our boss. Seriously??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you work for Anna Wintour, Jesse?

Punishingly Intricate

What kind of shit does the boss give them about their lunch??? Like, it's not healthy?

So far my boss here seems pretty cool. (knocking wood)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She goes both ways -- the skinny coworker gets "Oh, that's why you're so nice and skinny, because you never eat anything," and less skinny coworkers get "Should you really be eating that?"

I don't know how I've avoided this whole mishegas, because I'm not overly skinny and I eat chips every day!

So this morning, after dramatically failing to medicate the cat, I get to work to find my computer screen full of gibberish. Luckily, officemate is a sysadmin. Unluckily, the disk is dead.

They've replaced the disk and it'll be another couple hours while they reload the OS and then they'll attempt to restore the contents.

This happened once before to me. I'm mentally cataloging what I kept on the drive, calculating how screwed I'll be. Surprisingly, I don't think it'll be too bad. Major inconvenience, but because I'm so scarred, a lot of the irreplaceable stuff (but not all) is backed up...in email.

Of course, these are probably my famous last words.
