Oh, Happy Birthday, Hil!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Right. 11th graders. That's what I said.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I know the definition of a "work-related injury" is pretty broad. I don't need to detail every possible case. This is just an overview that mostly covers how people will report claims to the company and the third-party claims administrator.
Dana, I worked for a third party administrator in Ohio. One of our vp's hurt his knee while golfing with clients. He filed a claim and it was paid for. Very broad doesn't begin to cover it.

My dad's a workers comp lawyer. Whenever he trips or bumps his head on something he'll immediately joke, "I was thinking about work when I did that!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So close to the end of the day. Talk more, Natter!

I just did a count of how many yards of yarn I have entered on Ravelry so far -- less than a third done, I'd say. The calculator says that it's approximately 6000 yards, which just. can't. be. right....

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Almost the end of the day? I still have 3 more hours. Though because of the working lunch that should be 1 and a half, not that I'm bitter or anything.
(See Friday we had a working lunch too, so they let us off at 4, only I was supposed to get off at 4 anyway since I had to work Friday so I basically just got robbed out of a lunch).

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
I am having a hugely difficult time buckling down and focusing. It's totally killing me at work today, and I'm already paranoid about losing my job to the awesome new assistant.
Also, whenever Salon writes anything about the internet, I always want to slam my head into the keyboard.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
From Allyson's link:
It is a truism that a negative written comment has a harsher impact than a spoken one.
I call bullshit. I could probably construct a nice insult on paper, but I promise it'll hurt worse when I say it in a completely dismissive tone.
