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

Now I'm being told "Oh, no! You don't have to tidy your desk just because I teased you!"

Shut up, you big meanie. I can tidy if I want to.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Oh, and she said at the latest staff meeting, with a big fucking creepy smile "And even though no names were mentioned, I KNOW who said what!".

Like, was that a threat? Was that a power play? So f***ing inappropriate.

I'm not allowed to clean my desk, because I'm not allowed inside the house on nice days.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We had a bequest for a children's garden that, with the location picked and the design in accordance with ADA, makes the project five times more than the bequest allows for.

What makes an ADA-compliant garden so expensive? Most of the things that I could think of to put in a garden would be pretty cheap.

The only spec of land we can squeeze in an additional garden has a grade of over 20%, so in order for the paths to be to spec, we have to build a retaining wall that is probably 50,000 all on it's own. We're riddled with kettles. I think the only flat spot on the property is the parking lot, which then drops off into another giant kettle.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey Allyson, Ad-Rock (at least) is going to be on next week's Top Chef: Just Desserts.

I am SO IN.

People better not disappoint Ad-Rock.

hip deep in pie

In Iran, they color chickens and sell them, I can't remember quite why; for some holiday, I think.

We have laws against that kind of thing!!! [link] (My favourite act on the books.)

I'm sorry about Domino, Epic.

I'm having complete failures to complete at work and at home lately. I need to just finish something, and it'll get me over the hump.

I wonder if this can possibly live up to the awesome image I've created.

You all know I'm going to watch and post, right?

It's going to be SO ANNOYING for all of you!

Hooray!
