Oh, and apparently I missed two different sets of cupcakes yesterday! WTF.
Maybe you have some sort of mental block that prevents you from seeing cupcakes. Have you had bad experiences with cupcakes in the past?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh. No, I was out of the office, and the cupcakes were in the office.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Heh. No, I was out of the office, and the cupcakes were in the office.
I have this all the time. My department is in the next building or a bus ride away, depending on which location I'm in today. They're very good about sending out an email that says, hey, everyone, there are cupcakes, but are there ever any left...?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The real question is, what makes these parents think that a lawsuit against the school is the best way to educate their children? "Junior, nobody can stop you from acting out Scarface if you really want to! Go ahead and call your little sister a bitch, too!"
Thanks a lot, mom and dad.
And I admit, there's a part of me that thinks, "You're under 18. You have no free speech yet."
Right. There are a jillion court cases to the effect that while the under-18 do have some rights, most of those rights are adulterated by a school's interest in being safe and orderly.
(There's also the "you're a dumbass" angle, by which I mean I could only laugh at you harder if you joked about being a terrorist in an airport security line.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The real question is, what makes these parents think that a lawsuit against the school is the best way to educate their children?
And that's huge part of it for me, too. I don't know what went on in the homes of these kids. Maybe they got the Red Foreman Foot Up The Ass, but even so, the school district is NOT TO BLAME for your child being an idiot. These parents are asking for monetary compensation for having raised idiot children.

I am really not into being at work today.
Dude, seriously. Mentally I am totally in bed watching MythBusters. I wish reality matched my brain.
I am going to need lunch in about an hour. Mm. Lunch. Foooood.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm trying to decide what to do for lunch. I'm sort of craving a salad, but with a hot component. Alarmingly, there's a salad at Applebee's (right down the road) that looks kind of good, but I'm dubious about paying $10 for it.

tell me not to go next door and appropriate some cookies. They'll just make me feel sick. I have no idea why I want them.
To make up for my lack of cupcakes?
Sara, i'm so excited that it's now only 4 days!
apparently I missed two different sets of cupcakes yesterday! WTF.
TRAGEDY!
