Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm willing to bet these aren't the only incidents with that kid, either, Cash. Behavior like that tends to be across the board.

I'm tempted to ask, "is he a little asshole to everyone, or just us?" I'm going to mention it to his classroom teacher just as a concern and see what she says.

I made a blood donation appointment for Thursday. Now I shall be forced into clean living by necessity, or miss out on an exciting raffle opportunity.

And fortuitously, I brought in a necklace I received on mistake from Etsy to give to a coworker, who also brought me a belated birthday gift today.

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

My forearms are getting sore from typing. I'm not sure what to adjust to optimise my ergonomics. But I have a lot of typing to get through today.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I am ready for my afternoon nap. Alas, I am at work.

This is why all offices should contain nap pods.

There is so no way I could go to sleep all exposed like that in a public place where I knew people.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

We have a "first-aid" room downstairs that is complete with a padded bench and is available to be signed out to those who desperately need a lie-down. If I mention that I'm tired to the receptionist while I'm chatting with her at lunchtime, she always suggests I take advantage of the nap room, but I never have.

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

Yeah, I have difficulty sleeping in public, except on trains. Although once I slept at O'Hare because it was either that or stay up all night.

I think there needs to be a Sleep Pod that completely closes and locks. And is motorized, so I can nap while it carries me about....
