On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is pretty.

I can't believe I'm at work. I stayed up way too late last night. Also, three coworkers had relatives die over the weekend. NOT ON.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

That's awesome. And by awesome I mean scary.

So, I'm back and work today, and people keep calling me or coming up to my cube and asking me for things! What's up with that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know, right?

People want to have conversations too. Like, about how my holidays were.

The nerve of them.

I know the feeling, Tom. Here I am, barely managing consciousness, and these students keep expecting me to teach or something. Craziness!

I just remembered that I had a long involved dream this morning in which I discovered that Clark Kent, over the last two years of Smallville, had been living an extra life as a congressman who changed parties (GOP-ward), won re-election, and personally saved 58 people from Katrina. I know it's been a while since I watched, but WOW.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

You know what I can't figure out? Why, at work, people keep calling me and asking me work-related type questions. What the fuck is the matter with these people, anyway?

Fuckmonsters.

I had a long, involved dream where my professor, Patrick Dempsey, was yelling at me and calling me a liar because I tried to sneak out of class to retrieve the paper that was due and had left in my dorm.

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

It's a conspiracy. My bosses want to bill our clients, and in exchange our clients want some work done for them. Who gets screwed? Me! The little guy.
