Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ugh, ita. I hope your new doctor can find a way to help.

Jesse, I've never ordered from Zenni, but I've ordered 4 pairs from Coastal Contacts and they fit and look better than the one pair I picked out in person. Their customer service has been great too. They also have a 1 year guarantee--if you don't like them you can return them anytime in the first 365 days.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

how can you ban drawing in meetings?

cognitively, doodling is supposed to help us process information. I can believe that full wall murals should be prohibited, and genitalia, etc., but discreet small doodles in the corner of a page should be okay.

Art Crawl!!!

If I couldn't doodle in meetings, I'd be falling asleep.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sparky, I sent the Sassy link to my sister and her kids, which I think might be more help than me posting it anywhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My boss is having our conference room walls painted with a material that turns the walls into whiteboards. So I'm totally gonna do a wall mural in our next meeting.

eta: Also, I'm going to do giant Venn-diagrams of how I am so awesome, and have my picture taken next to them. Then I'll use the pictures on an online dating site.

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

You can say "ita, I'm your boss. Don't draw in meetings."

And we're done!

If I suppress all my urges, it doesn't end well for anyone. But I will delete what I doodled this morning, just in case.

Another nice photoshopped thing: the Situation Room meets The Royal Wedding.

Of course I KNEW an exception would be posted as soon as I posted.

Man, ita, that ban sounds really counterproductive. Well, if he let me play plants vs. zombies instead, we'd be cool.

The Situation...The Situation Room.

Well, that was a late lightbulb, but at least there's finally illumination.
