My boss just sent me home and told me not to come into work tomorrow. Win.
Now I just have to wait fifteen minutes for the bus and make it home without incident. I can totally do that.

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 to Make a Tin Foil Hat for a Dog
Many people ignore step 7:
Avoid the temptation to decorate your dog's tin foil hat. Materials such as felt or other types of fabric are too absorbent and may soak up and retain mind control rays. If you must decorate the hat, use reflective accents like sequins. These are shiny and will help deflect the damaging rays. Attach sequins to the hat with hot glue.
Sadly, the how-to guide has no photos....

I think aliens and secret government agencies have given up trying to control cats a long time ago....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude, everyone knows the mind-control rays flow OUTWARD from the cat.
At least that's what he tells me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Argh -- I just got a free ticket to a work thing that starts at 7 on Friday morning. How the fuck is that going to work??

Feel better, amyth! Sorry you're sickly.
I have consumed an apple and am now eating cashews & cranberries to tide me over until I can leave work and go get a salad at the sushi place. It's good to have a plan.
