For an example of my day, I had to ask around for the safe-for-work version of "clusterfuck" before I talked to the COO. I ended up with "somewhat frustrating."
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Despite the lack of fresh dill in my hometown, holiday party spinach dip is accomplished! Now I just have to remember to take it and one of those frozen Mediterranean foccacia things with me when I leave for work tomorrow.
One co-worker talked herself out of baking stuffed shells and instead decided to make manicotti—doubtless it'll be very good, but I don't know how that's going to work as party favors...

Not like a good baked brie wrapped up in butter-drizzled phyllo, which may not be heart-healthy but is oh so good for everything else. It's like a light box for your tongue!
Yeah, but -- when you're at a holiday gathering, and you have to compete with dozens of other party-goers who all want the brie (oh, yum), you're only going to end up with a few bites; there's no way to bogart the entire wheel of brie (don't ask how I know that).
And a few bites of baked brie are not going to make or break someone's cardiac health.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That's why you eat cheese with red wine. They cancel each other out!

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

This should be on a t-shirt.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Apparently I have fedex package waiting to be picked up. But from where I don't know. Either where it came from or where it is. Another thing to do in my copious free time between now and when I leave, because they tried 3 times (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.) Oh and I don't know WHAT it is. I'm pretty sure I didn't order it. Surprise!

Oh! Oh! Just this week I saw ads for Melbourne aquarium, announcing the arrival of kings and gentoos! I foresee an aquarium trip in my future.

Oh lord. I'd find Loki swimming in it and Devi killing the fish. Maybe they'd get along?
