FredPete, ~ma to you and Hubs and Teddy.
Eek! Explosions! Glad to hear that Buffistas & friends are okay.
Do you think anyone would notice if I flung myself out the window rather than grade the rest of these tests? Yes? Dang.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
you could say you were trying to teach them a new word: autodefenestration.

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

Okay, I think I have to leave now. The pain is too great and I run the risk of having to interact with another crabby co-worker.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

No more explosions!
I just accidently knocked my mouse into the trash can. It hung there by its tail, shining its little red light sadly, until I noticed it and hauled it back out. I think it's a subconscious indication that I should go home now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Elf academy to be set up in Lapland
In the northern city of Rovaniemi, the capital of the Province of Lapland, one can soon become a certified elf.
Starting in April of next year, the Lapland Vocational College will offer a one-year course in "elfing" (or should that be "elving"? "gnoming"?) as a response to the growing need of the programme services enterprises in the tourism industry.
Even this Christmas it is estimated that around 500 elves (or gnomes, you decide) will serve in various tasks within the tourism industry in Lapland.
"Various safari and other programme services firms have already established a two-week crash course for those wishing to be employed as seasonal workers in tourism. The elf academy will suit those aiming for a permanent career in the field", explains project manager Kari Rekilä from the Lapland Vocational College.
The elf training will be based on the wilderness guide programme. The focus is on good customer service. For many of the Christmas tourists, the elf guide is often more or less their only human contact during the short visit to Lapland.
"Today a good knowledge of animals and plants is not necessarily required any more", Rekilä states. After the Christmas season a professional elf could act as a regular tour guide or in a number of other tasks in safari firms.

Why am I still here at work? I'm surfing through YouTube, looking for Muppet Show clips. I found my personal favorite--Rita Moreno singing "Fever", accompanied by Animal on the drums.
