Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are a lot of towering rages at my work these days. Deadlines and holidays looming? I try to stay out of it, mostly, but I do like to be cc-ed on some of the blood sports.

Working from home would be better for me for so many reasons right now. But I went in to both locations this morning, and will be back at my desk this afternoon.

Uh, sometime. But I am logged into my work computer! Migraine-related depression is paying off for my employer.

No towering rages here, just giant slinky dogs.

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

What happens if you push a giant slinky dog down the stairs?

Well, you need some really big stairs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In college, I used to use a friend's license to get in to bars...except it turned out some of the bouncers knew her. Oops.

I have avoided towering rages by not going in to work today. So far, so good.

I went to McGill. I know not of these shenanigans of which you speak.

The drinking age is 18? I still would have had a semester of trouble.

I hung out at Molly Malone's on Fairfax (Los Angeles) for years, without ever getting carded (this was late 80's). The folks who ran the bar were thrilled that I chose Molly's as my birthday party venue----they loved when regulars did that----until I told them it was my 21st birthday. Whoooops!

At one bar the bouncer said she was underage and that he was going to confiscate her drivers license. I had to explain that since it was after midnight it had now become the "next day" so she was therefore legal.

I had a bouncer try to put a big X on my hand. I put my hands behind my back and made my friend show him her watch, we had deliberately waited until 12:15 so there would be no issues.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Shoot, not like my birthday changes when my license expires. Geeeze.

Tell that to ABC, because they're the ones who set the rules that all ID must be current and that everyone in the bar must be of age and have ID on them. It's a fine and a strike if that's not complied with. So, it sucks that you got kicked out, but I understand where the bar was coming from.

I had a fake SoDak ID that I got for free, since I let the dude copy my AK license (which was still the laminated kind).
