I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh my lord, Tim brought home a truck from work and he's taking the drill press out of the driveway to be scrapped.

WHAT IS HAPPENING I DON'T EVEN

Take pictures!

Maybe this is his version of a marriage proposal?

You know, that wouldn't be totally weird for him.

For my own part, I've started with the FlyLady shit and keep adding little cleaning tasks to my (semi-) daily routine. This, too, falls under the IT IS THE END OF DAYS category.

I'll report back if he spells out "Wll U MRY ME" in scrap metal on the driveway.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I meant to agree: it hits a little too close to home to be really funny. Brilliant and true, but not funny.

It's not funny at all, but it rang true. And it's something I might use to explain to people who just Don't Get It.

re: mistakes at work.

I had a supervisor call me into a come-to-Jesus meeting with the owner, and she wanted me to make a pledge that my work on a particular phase would not have any errors in it. She was horrified when I said, "No, I will not make any such pledge. It's impossible to promise that." She looked at the owner, who said, "She's right, she can't do that. Asking something like that is something the Pointy-Haired Boss would do."

The owner loved Dilbert, and even though he was often an idiot it was nice to have backup, especially geeky backup.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That Hyperbole and a Half is the most true thing on the internet. Fear-proof exoskeleton. Yes.

Taking away the drill press is kind of rocking my world, Tep. I know I only have a flawed and mostly made up by me mental image of your home, but the drill press looms large in it and having it be gone is going to take some getting used to.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oh, that Hyperbole and a Half was wonderful. Sad and painful, but wonderful. I will be passing that along.

Calli, words cannot express the rage I feel on your behalf. Gah.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, Indiana. What the hell is Momo? Do Connecticut and Massachusetts not exist on that map?

I'm from Missouri and have no idea what the hell 'Momo' is. Unless it's a flying lemur.
