Why would you put your work number on a craigslist ad? That was the crucial mistake. Well, that, and not putting "best offer," apparently.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

So, I'm sitting in my car outside of the yoga studio. And this woman in Toyota Carolla goes to get out of her parking spot and reverses into me and bumps my car (FWIW, CA license plate 3VOK629). She looks at me (balefully) in the her side mirror, then drives away. Seriously?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Going to report her for hit and run, Kat, or some other applicable crime? I can't believe some people. Step up and take responsibility. A shrug is not responsibility.
This week has been like an investigation of ways to not want to get out of bed in the morning. Today is "because you're a lazy-ass, stupid" which is so much triter than all the rest so far. I suspect tomorrow may be "because it's hotter than the surface of Venus" but I don't want to slant the experiment ahead of time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Stupid phones have stopped ringing. Ah.... silence.
Maybe the woman who hit Kat's car will have bad dreams about it and will be wracked with guilt. OK, probably not....

I'm tired and cranky and I deserve a giant mess of Thai food for lunch.

Yes, you do, shrift.
I'm not cranky, per se, but the zipper on my (very old) black pants decided that today is a good day to die. Fortunately, the shirt I'm wearing, when untucked, hangs far enough over my pants that the broken zipper isn't obvious.
Still, the only thing getting me through the work day is the prospect of going home and watching last night's Keith Olbermann Special Comment online -- is it true that he ended it by telling Bush to shut the hell up?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Steph, I'll say only that his indignation was a thing of beauty and a joy to behold -- marred only by the realization that he probably didn't pick the best target.

is it true that he ended it by telling Bush to shut the hell up?
Yes, yes he did. KO was mightily pissed last night, and he was practically spitting fury with every word.
Fred, do you think he should have gone after Cheney and the neocons as well?

Man, that's OUTSTANDING.
