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

ELL OH ELL!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Stephanie, as a former litigator in an area most judges don't know, I'd probably use

Our wings are not tired.

ita, the more I hear about New Guy, the more I wonder how long it will be before he's Fired Guy.

This.

Stephanie, I like to say, "Can you please confirm that I'm interpreting this correctly?" and then summarize. Saves their face because they can see your summary and say, "yes, you're right" letting them look like smartypants.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So yesterday, I lost several hours worth of work because the Word document I had entered it into mysteriously disappeared.

The good news: it became apparent as soon as I signed in this morning that the problem was with Word and not something I failed to do, so I could stop kicking myself.

The bad news: the firmwide IT person who tried to help me this morning not only didn't fix it before she gave up and tossed it to the local IT people, but also managed to delete Word from my system entirely, which took the local IT people well over an hour to figure out, and then they had to bounce it back to the firm wide IT department, so I haven't even been able to start trying to make up the hours I lost.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a nightmare, Perkins.
