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

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

Gold star for being the first person to go there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Fuck. I screwed up the pagination of that verdammt journal again. That wretched thing has been the bane of my life for a year now. At least this time it's a gap and not an overlap. I told them from the start the software needed a way to check that pagination matched sequence numbers, but no. And I would rather it hadn't been me who proved me right. My boss has been fairly calm and supportive, but she hasn't talked to her boss yet.

I *so* feel your pain. (Pagination is my responsibility here.)
Not quite the same thing, but -- have I told the story about how we had a run of hardcover textbooks printed...with NOTHING printed on the spine??? We even got a cover spread color proof from the printer, and we all looked at it, and not one of us twigged to the fact that there was NOTHING ON THE SPINE.
All the textbooks had to be sent back to the printer, stripped of the covers, new hardcovers reprinted, and re-bound.
Oh, yeah.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ouch, Teppy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Oof. I went to the diner across the street for lunch w/ co-workers today and am now feeling the effects of Too Much Penne.

Ouch Steph.
I just officially ordered my CSA, with my 5% discount (thanks work). I was so tempted to add a fruit and a flower share. Maybe next year.
How come the one day I come into the office, there is no one else in my corner? Ok, if I'd stayed home today, I would have slept instead of gotten work done, but dang it...someone entertain me.

Ooh, if they offered a flower share I would totally do that. I never end up eating much of the fruit I get though.

Dear Gott in Himmel, this journal is the worst I've ever worked on. The pagination is done manually, no automated checks at all until it's too late to change it, so by the time one realizes it's wrong, one has paginated five more issues. Incorrectly. It didn't LOOK like it would be that bad when I took it on, anyone who can count ought to be able to do it, and yet, it's a malevolent clusterfuck. Every editor who's ever worked on it has messed up, but I still feel awful; I hate making stupid mistakes, and I hate even more doing it twice.
Damn. I hope it's not too early to drink, because there's vodka in this here coke.
