I knew Mr Peabody was "burying" things in the living room. I'd hear scrabble, scrabble, scrabble and he'd appear with an ancient rawhide chew toy. I thought he was putting everything under the sofa. I just moved the coffee table, which is a chest with maybe an inch and a half of clearance off the rug and discovered a field of chew toys and a lot of bits of what used to be a kitchen sponge.

(Note to self: Occasionally move things when you clean.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm off to the grocery store. I've eaten yummy Chinese take out and I've made a list so I'm as ready as I can ever be.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Speaking of reporting bugs, I hate reporting mistakes, too, and I found a big internal one today that involved charging all the building's mail to a restricted grant account. I only discovered it because I had to mail something, and I so did not want to report it because a) I just wanted to mail my stuff and b) I wanted to go home and not get sucked into a brouhaha. It was all very innocent, but still a PITA that had to go to high levels. Ijust kept wishing I was less observant.

Poor Mr. Peabody! You discovered his stash!

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

I cut a girl's hair off once.

Me too.

Well, not all her hair.

Me neither, as I was giving her a Mohawk.

To save money, our dad used to cut our hair (when me and my older brother were single-digits). Once I couldn't wait for him to get done with the evening milking so I cut my own bangs.

Ooh, I should ask my parents for a copy of the photo....

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

but an important one to avoid users reacting the way you do

We don't let the users report to them. They go through me. I make puppy dog eyes all the time, whether the news is good or bad. That's why they like me. I've suckered them in.

Sometimes it cracks me up how my boss is so impressed with and envious of my mad French skillz, when my real skill is buying decent friggin' reference materials.

I'm hungry and I need to make dinner, but I'm having an off week where I just don't feel like making an effort with my food. I think someone stole my cooking mojo.

Ginger, I moved the couch once when I lived in Georgetown and found nine tennis balls. I have never in my life purchased a tennis ball.

Sorry, shrift, I think that was me. I didn't buy any TV dinners when I did my groceries, yesterday and I actually cooked chicken and dumplings from scratch, today.
