It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to take six pages and turn them into five pages that cover information not included in the original six pages. Argh.

Smaller font and bigger margins, Jesse.

I have to figure out how to recreate excel templates that got deleted and I wasn't around for the creation of. FUN.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I dreamed that I was trying to find our classroom, and when I got there, the floor had a serious tilt, and I could barely balance my laptop on my knees... and the teacher was Magneto?

Clearly I was anticipating my return to class today... but Magneto?

I wonder if glossolalia could be considered a valid business writing style....

Did we all consume too much media over the holidays?

Yeah, what's the narrowest font? I've been told 12 point font, 1" max margins. (What does that even mean? I'm assuming they mean I can't use .25" margins, but that's not quite how it reads, right?)
