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

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

isn't that how Micheal Weston started out?

Eh?

In my Oakland office, my cube was next to two conference rooms. I always knew when it was almost 1pm cause that is when the vultures appeared. You know, so they would just happen to be in the area when a meeting was over and it was ok to raid the leftovers. Those of us who actually sat in that area and had to deal with the hassle of extra folks roaming through and people stepping out of meetings to take a cell call rarely got to benefit from any extra food.

And, why, oh why, do people think that once they step out of a meeting to take a call do they think they can be as loud as they want? Yes, you are out of that room, but there are other folks trying to work here too. We don't need to hear every detail of your conversation.
