And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

my current iPod is going to die sometime soon and I'll probably have to sell my soul to afford a new one.

I have one word for you: pseudicide.

Kohls?

Yeah. I'm never sure what's a national/regional chain around here.

Whew! My vacation time is okay with my boss. Now I don't have to say, "Well, I've already booked my ticket..."

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

I did things in that order this year too, Sue.

My office is letting everyone go at 3:00 today, even though the rest of the firm is being let out at 4:00. I don't know why that hour makes me so happy, but it does.

Also, I realized that I am off from the 20th to the 27th. Back in the office for one day, and then off from the 29th to the 1st. Sweet!

Thrive to spite them

I think it's Khol's that's opening at 4 am.

LAst year I got my tv on Black Friday but I didn't get up that early and had to go to 3 different stores.

Sales are down so I think stores are doing anything to get people in. If I do any shopping on Friday it's going to be all online.

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

I have a conference call/online meeting in a few minutes. Don't wanna. I think I will fake a heart attack....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

There was an ad here last night for a store whose post-Thanksgiving sale starts at FOUR AM Friday morning.

That shit is just so far beyond me. Why is that fun?? (Edit to be clear I'm talking about the pre-dawn shopping, not the giant puppy.)

When I worked retail, there would be people lined up outside the door at Penney's for our 5 AM opening. It was crazy! Also people were crazy with the things given out at the door. They were supposed to be one per family, and while I understand wanting reindeer antlers for each kid you have with you, people would be sneaking around to all the different doors and telling sob stories to try and get as many as they could!

I have one word for you: pseudicide.

Ooh, what scenario? Do I threaten to kill myself if fandom doesn't give me an iPod? Do I fake a terrible illness so that fandom buys me an iPod?
