Jesse, if pay increases when you finish probation are normal operating procedure, I might not consider it inappropriate as long as actual amounts are not being spoken aloud.
I don't believe it is SOP, but could be wrong. Anyway.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Art Crawl!!!
OMG, my doctor's office just called me. I had an appt at 9 am and I COMPLETELY forgot.
Admittedly, I made the appointment about 4 months ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How awesome does a cake have to be in order to get banned from a cake show?
Verminous Dickens cake banned from Melbourne cake show
"Great Expectations, the Miss Havisham Cake," a remarkable, vermin-infested entry from the Hotham Street Ladies art collective was excluded from the Melbourne Cake Show on grounds of "bad taste." Boo!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Damn. I do not have ita- levels of headache, but I feel like someone has bopped me over the face with a broomstick, and I am nauseated. I think it is because I forgot to take my celexa this weekend, and have just now taken it, but man I feel vile.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, Perkins, be less stupid than me and don't dial in to work. Dammit. But I have a theoretical go live today that I must be braced for.
And checking my emails means my boss doesn't know I'm not at the office today, being that he's not going to be in, and I called in sick to his phone

Should we not be subtle about this kind of thing?
Yes. Just be thankful you don't have my boss, who told more than one colleague that I threatened to leave if I didn't get promoted or a raise (not exactly what I said) and then told me that I wasn't being professionally savvy.

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

Sophia, Celexa isn't as bad as Paxil for screwing you up if you suddenly change dosage, but it certainly gives me some tsuris for missed pills.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just turned on the tv and a Scooby Doo movie was on, because I had taped Venture Brothers last night. James Hong was definitely reprising a version of his role from Big Trouble in Little China. Kids these days!
