I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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

Someone just came into my office to show off his new ipad to my officemate. What does he show to demonstrate the video? Firefly.

I shouldn't be surprised.

I'd finally gotten rid of my Lady Gaga earworms. All it took was seeing the title, and they're baaa-aaack.

Because books.

Did you want us to beam, DJ? BECAUSE I AM. That was awesome.

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

Un-father of the year award...

First thing this morning I overhead a co-worker talking about how his wife is out of town and how he is having to coordinate transportation and activities for his 3 kids. And, horror of horrors, he was going to have to leave around 2pm to pick them up from school. This guy is out of town himself a good 90% of the time. I didn't say anything but my brain grumbled at him.

A little bit ago someone dropped by his office to ask if he wanted to go to lunch together. His reply? "I can't, I have to work through lunch cause I have some sh*t to do and have to leave early".

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yay! I love sharing the joy, as opposed to the depression I served up yesterday with M.I.A.'s now banned video.

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

SuziQ, that's like hearing a guy here describe himself as Mr. Mom. No, not unless you were breast-feeding. What I bet you were was Mr. Dad. Suck it up.

Dammit, I'm looking for a style of boot. Very normal boot, in my estimation--just like a plain man's shoe, except laces up to mid-calf. Kind of like a granny boot, except without the wee heel, just a normal squarer heel. Browsing Zappo's is worse than useless because it is leading me off into side distractions of Western boots, which are really not the point.

But very attractive.

Sorry, Tep's boss!

Hey, I love getting that extra random day off! It's next week, actually. Woot!

Dude, sac up. He just said something else about how hard it is juggling the kids different schedules and it means he won't get any golf time. Yes, that is called being a parent. An involved parent. Get over it.

I don't think I'd ever think I would rather be at the dentist than listen to him any more, but I do have a dentist appt in a couple of hours. Even with my dental fears...anything to get me outta here today.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!

He's one of those dads who thinks taking care of his own kids is babysitting, I bet.
