She doesn't think the government assistance she gets is welfare! Because she neeeeeeds it! This is why I can't pay any more attention.

crap, they just let one of my co-workers go. He was kind of difficult to work with (INTERUPTER EXTRAORDINAIRE) but basically a nice guy. And he has a family. Supposedly got a nice severance at least. And supposedly my job is still safe (I'm easy to work with!) and the company is doing fine. Still it's unnerving. There are only 8 of us here now (including the 3 partners).

Eep, Lisa. We lost some people around here yesterday, and it's no fun at all.

I love Erika. So so much.

Oh, Lisa, I am so sorry. You, too, Brenda. I was wondering what came of your meeting from yesterday morning.

Make room y'all.

She's a menace. And while I wouldn't wish Social Services on most people, I most heartily wish them on this whackjob. Because with the babies safe and out of the way, the smiting can begin.

I don't care what they call it, I don't consider urine to be a viable drink option unless I'm dying of thirst in a desert where there's no other water.

Matt's been through the desert on a horse with no bladder, pass it on.

"Cause I'm an asshole, and I park in handicapped spaces. While handicapped people make handicapped faces." Oh, and thanks, wench, for keeping the welfare-queen thing alive. Just when I think I'm beginning to get people to see people on disability as halfway worthwhile, Ghetto Angelina shows up. Argggh.

On the plus side, most people don't have a genuine Bond villain as their nemesis. Think of the notoriety you'll gain for your campaign of destruction against Octopussy.
