Our office was only about 15 percent full to begin with (a big part of the company had the day off), and it's been emptying out even more since 1:00. All of the managers at this office are gone for the day already, but I'm sticking around until 4:30 since my own manager might still be working at the downtown office (she usually goes home around 4:00 to walk her dog).
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Miss Nancy from Romper Room has died. I remember waiting for her to list my name when she looked through her magic mirror.

There are way too many people here this afternoon. Go home, people, so I can slack off without anyone noticing! My boss at least is gone.
I took an unintentionally long lunch: hit the bank and the farmer's market, then spent fifteen minutes waiting for two very good fish tacos. NOM.
And now I have a mess of fruit and two ears of corn for dinner.

On another occasion, the show had booked a trained mynah bird named "Raja" who refused to talk — until the very end of the show.
"Nancy turned to the bird and asked Raja if he had any last words for the boys and girls," Patten said. "As the camera zoomed in for a close-up, Raja looked straight into the lens and blurted out, 'one martini, please.'"
Hah!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It hurt because I think I'm Pam, but I guess to the 24-year-olds here, I'm Phyllis.
Yeah, no.
We got out at two, and I walked home the long/scenic way with my friend. It turned out to be 6 miles, which, huh. Now I am lounging. Tomorrow I have a day date that's supposed to include a museum, but we'll see. Other than that, maybe a movie, trip to Target, definitely some cooking (I'm thinking about corn chowder) and freelance work. Which I should be starting now....

I bought two ears of corn on Wednesday night. Did someone here mention how to nuke them in the microwave?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'm going home early in a second. Yeah. I'm radical like that.

Take off the outer leaves of the husk and pull off the silk, then nuke them for 3 minutes per cob, roughly. They'll steam inside the husk.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The sad thing is that I'm in the upper echelon of "old people" in my Doctoral program.

You know, this would be a good thread title.
