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

Good luck at the new job, Tom. Sounds like a good first day.

Our wings are not tired.
Hope your first day is swell, Tom!
I had my first day at the new place two weeks ago. The job is fine but the commute is not. It's so bad that I am contemplating quitting and going back to consulting, unless my boss has some creative ideas today in our 1:1. Last week I spent FIFTEEN hours commuting. And that was with holiday AND one wfh day. It's untenable.

Oh, man, javachik, that's awful. I really wish there were some other option there, because argh.
I'm in the office but I don't want to be. Had such a fun weekend, and mostly managed to avoid political discussions with my banker SIL.
Was mildly astonished to learn that my brother doesn't know who he's going to vote for (!!!). He's worried that the ACA is going to cause him to lose all the profit in his new restaurant, because he's just above the 50-employee line. I might need to do some research on that, because ISTR there are tax deductions and so forth available...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Ok, I only spend about 10 hours commuting and I take a bus in a city with a not so good public transportation system.
I was just reading a "reader question" on Simple Dollar (which drives me crazy, but I cant. stop. reading) about a woman whose husband uses a quarter roll of toilet paper every time he uses the bathroom (I am assuming to poop). All I can think is that it might be time for them to invest in a bidet! That's a lot of toilet paper!

You wonder what's going through the Secret Service's mind at times like that.
