Scary calculator is all I'm saying. Once I'm done paying off work, I might actually be able to afford to save more. But whoa. That's a big number.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I'm so glad that the cats will never need to go to college.

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
Will this useless day never end?
NO! It just won't! And I'm one paper shy of completing this task and it's just messing with me!
Just wanna go home and have supper. Screw the plumber's tape. Just want to plant my ass on the couch and eat a cookie!!!

40 minutes of playing with a stupid database then I am running away. Not checking in with the boy/boss, just running away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh you guys, I learned a good lesson from my grandmother today: Always count your silver after a party. After the big family shindig yesterday, she counted them up and was short two forks. We pulled out the trash, and sure enough, there they were! We were eating on paper plates, so people must have just chucked them in together. (Yes, we were using paper plates and the good silver. My grandmother maintains some standards, after all.)

For a second I thought Jesse's story was going to turn into a family kleptomania story!

My family has a lot of silverware from a restaurant my brother bussed for in high school. He didn't mean to steal it, he'd just put the stuff in his apron when cleaning tables (why, I don't know,) toss the apron in the back seat, where the silverware migrated to under the seat. We only discovered it after he'd quit and we were junking the car.
We also had the stuff he just plain took when he'd take meals home.
He wasn't a perfect angel.

Ha! No, just a going-through-the-trash story. My grandmother did make sure to mention that counting the silver is especially important when you have maids, but I'm still not clear if they're more likely to throw it out because they don't care about it, or if they will rob you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I bring tidings from the future! The time will come when May 5 ends, and the reign of May 6 will usher in a Golden Age of Tuesday!
