Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I don't have a snow day, but I'm taking a "still hacking and coughing day".

I am Dana. And so is CJ. Our house is house of sick. I bought a new thing of honey yesterday before both our throats decided to be icky. With both of us drinking honey tea, it is going to be empty fast.

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

I just got an invitation to a pay party from a guy at work. I'm looking a little suspiciously at the invitee list, because I don't know this guy all that well. It just seems to be a random group of non-white people in IT.

Oh, I think they're both likely true, but this particular thing can probably be attributed to the latter.
