Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am also going boinkers. I've answered two pages today! I only put batteries in the thing Friday. I hope no one was looking for me before.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What they did was put their fax on the machine, dial the wrong number, and walk away. I'm sure it's the fax machine redailing. Sorry.
Yeah. I always feel bad when I get a fax report and its pretty clear that we were blasting some guy in Indonesia (or whatever) in the ear for half the morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Spending an hour and a half on the phone with my boss didn't help. Neither did discovering a Jan 3 deadline. Argh!!

"And because the former dictator had reason to be paranoid, the boat has bulletproof glass, closed-circuit television, storage space for a large cache of weapons, including heavy machine guns and surface-to-air missiles, and a secret passage that runs the length of the boat for easy access to a fast patrol boat and a mini-submarine pod for emergency exits."
Didn't I see that boat in a James Bond movie?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Dear lady:
If you call 6 times a day for someone, and each time say, "Oh, I can never remember her name!" How bout when we figure out who in the hell you are talking about YOU WRITE IT THE FUCK DOWN!
Earlier today I got the "I was talking to somebody but I don't remember her name" followed by the expectant pause.
Actually, I think it was the same twatbiscuit who didn't like my answer to her question.
What kills me is the expectant pause. "I don't remember who I was talking to..."
Me: "That's okay. I remember."

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
Thanks, ita. Just emailed Colin.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
What kills me is the expectant pause. "I don't remember who I was talking to..."
Me: "That's okay. I remember."
Exactly!
They've been calling you for one specific thing while you've been fielding phone calls for everybody about everything your company does (or sometimes doesn't do), but you should keep up with who they are calling for.
