I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

She told a story of a woman who stopped doing art, became a successful executive, but got fibroids.

I just did a full on, Craig Ferguson style "Whaaaaaat?" at my desk, yo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Very cringe-worthy....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Professional etiquette question - I'm writing an email to Potential New Overlords with a list of questions/demands about the benefits package.

Now, if this were a job I'd applied for independently, I would obviously be using my personal email account to communicate. But this is a merger/aquisition, so the only way this guy knows me is as Employee Of Current Company. Should I still use my personal email and just sign it "Jess from That Company You're Buying" or should I just go ahead and use my work account?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jess, when I went through that a couple of years ago, I used work email. They know you're going to have questions because of all the changes.

“Not dead yet!”

I think you should use your professional account, Jess. It has to do with the merger/acquisition and you're asking legit questions about something that has to do with the eventual outcome.

Could you also get them to double my salary so I can afford a nanny? I don't think I'm logistically equipped for 2 kids in 2 separate daycares...
