You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

New Guy has asked me to tell the boss that he comes in at 8 every morning.

"Oh, you mean you're going to start coming in at 8?"

I'm getting the pig!

"Oh, you mean you're going to start coming in at 8?"

We have a winner!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"Vignette" is a very odd term to use. I'm sure we could come up with a better collective noun. And Jilli, I wouldn't buy them without a size or measurements on the gloves, says she who spent a half hour mourning her "huge" paws at the vintage store going-out-of-business sale this weekend. That is, assuming you're planning on wearing them.

Is "New Guy" the same one who joked about your headache, ita? I say we smite the mofo. I mean, I am the last one to judge someone for being late, but I don't ask people to lie about it, either.

gnng, good point about the size. I have tiny hands, so the chances of the gloves fitting me are good (and I'd be cutting the fingers off of them anyway), but it's still too much of a risk.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm confused by the vignette. Are they sewn or glued in place? They don't look framed, so what makes them a vignette as opposed to a few cute items grouped together?

An attempt at verbal cleverness.

If they were glued or sewn in place, I'd be pissed. But I think it's just some items grouped together and photographed.

I wonder if the local tiny thrift store (entirely staffed by quintessential little old lady volunteers) would have a stash of vintage gloves. I need a bunch for these embroidered fingerless glove projects I've been working on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Exactly the same one. Some gall.

ita, I wish I could come to your office and have a little chat with him. An icy, polite chat.

This is pretty cool--daughter tweets to Newark mayor about her dad's sidewalk not being shoveled, and he goes over there with shovels, salt, and some volunteers and shovels it himself.
