Well fuck. My awesome boss at my new job is leaving the company. For completely understandable, family-based reasons, but I'm still not thrilled.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know who the guy on the Jamaican $100 is. I feel like a crap citizen for that.
Jilli--that bites. I hope it has minimal effect on you professionally, even if you miss him.

I know our team is going to band together and try to make sure there's minimal effect on all of us, professionally, but it still is crap news. In a perfect world, our fantastic editor steps up to become tech pubs manager, I take over as editor, and they bring in another writer. I don't think that's likely, but it's what I'd like to have happen.

Bah. I went to the soup company because the website said they had my favorite soup today. But they'd run out, so I got the lobster bisque, and it was nearly inedible. Bleah.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just found out the Giant around the corner from us is closing Aug. 16. Bummer. It was sooo convenient for last minute items.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
(Bar/Brothel of Innulus and Papilio); 3932: Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!
(Bar of Athictus; right of the door); 8442: I screwed the barmaid
(just outside the Vesuvius gate); 6641: Defecator, may everything turn out okay so that you can leave this place
(in the basilica); 1820: Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they every have before!
(in the basilica); 1824: Let everyone one in love come and see. I want to break Venus’ ribs with clubs and cripple the goddess’ loins. If she can strike through my soft chest, then why can’t I smash her head with a club?
