Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There are a lot of days I live off the land at work.

JZ does this as there are a fair number of meetings where they order food and often have leftovers.

When I worked in law firms there was a whole network of office vultures who were alerted when extra food was left over after a meeting and people would come swooping in to nab sandwiches. They always ordered too much food, though I'd say it was an even split between clueless people who felt food was necessary when it wasn't, and thoughtful managers who didn't mind sharing the wealth by over ordering a bit.

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

In interesting local news.

Oh. Dear.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh God, that is standard practice at my office. So many days where I have leftovers for lunch. Sooooo many. It's great.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

In interesting local news.

This is my favorite part of the story:

police say they found more weapons in her arsenal, including a slingshot and a bucket of rocks.

A. Bucket. Of. Rocks.

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

It could really only be better if she had been wearing a "Throw rocks at boys" shirt in her mug shot.

I'm gonna pretend they were very nice rocks. Like, sparkly and/or sharp-edged.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

At Orrick they had catered lunch for all attorneys. (They called it The Trough.) It was cheaper to feed them and keep the in-house most of the time. All staff had a free array of bagels in the morning (and a commercial conveyer toaster) plus PB, a variety of schmears and fruit.

At the last placed I temped regularly they had the Fruit Guys bring in a big box of fruit on Monday and that was snacked on all week. That was nice and actually changed my eating habits where I'd have a banana or apple at 3pm instead of a cookie.

You know, they should make a movie about her, and show it double-billed with Kick Ass
