Scola, you missed your calling. I think you should be a job-placement-finder-person (does that actually have a title?).

You can tell how ready I am to leave this job by the fact that I now click on Tom's links.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hey, anybody got the link or able to nilly Typo Boy's handy guide for rebutting climate change naysayers?

There's this, but Typo Boy's guide is more detailed.

Thanks Tom! That will do to kick things off.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just heard a radio ad with the following line:

The Unscripted Theatre Company will keep you entertained with an improv performance made up on the spot.

Calling the Department of Redundancy Department!

Oh, my god, dude, NO, we are not changing all of the italics in your documents by .5pt. NO.

Would you do it for Al Gore?

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

I've been to "improv" performance that was made up shortly before the spot, so I appreciate the clarity.

Thank you, Second City Detroit. Not something you were rewarded for seeing every week, but I was having improv withdrawal after leaving my peeps in Montreal. Where it was different EVERY SINGLE TIME, including workshops. Why is that such a difficult concept?

I emailed in that I was coming in late today, because I felt hugely grotty. Not sure why I bothered. No way boss has cleared his backlog of emails to get to me yet, and New Guy/PM isn't here yet. But at least my power supply is where I left it yesterday.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So, New Boy is arriving on Friday, and I'm getting panicky.

Picking him up at the airport is going to be awkward.

More importantly, what should I wear?

Oh, and ita, I went to the world's most awesome bra shop on Melrose.

All sizes start at D. I tried on a rockin' corset, but then realized I would never be able to hook it on my own.
