Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

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.

Is "New Guy" the same one who joked about your headache, ita?

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

I guess the "polite" means it wouldn't involve a croquet mallet? Pity.

Oh, I would have the croquet mallet with me, I just wouldn't use it. Perhaps thump it on the floor in a gently contemplative manner.

Even when New Guy inevitably comments on your clothes? Given that he made fun of ita's headache (!!!), you know he would do that. He's the "do that" asshat.

I'm getting the pig!

I'll need advanced warning of this happening since I'll be hiring the photographer.

I'd smile and say "Oh, I dress like this because I like to. But we're not talking about my wardrobe, we're talking about you asking a co-worker to lie for you. What's your reasoning behind that, other than you seem to be clueless?"

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

Given that he made fun of ita's headache (!!!)

He not only made fun of her headache, he implied she lacked a good work ethic, then asked her to cover for his own lapses. What a tool!
