It wasn't a caulk gun, huh.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Sadly not. Would have made the robbery more interesting.

OK, my real guess is that the person typing it thought that "cock" is dirty, so it must be the other way.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, now "cocking your gun" sounds obscene.

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

No thank you; I'm fine.

Steph, being a cyborg sounds awesome! Years ago, K had a graft from a cadaver on her knee. I always joke that she has a zombie knee.
I am making a hazelnut macaroon (and damn THEY ARE AMAZING) chocolate cream torte that is gluten free. It's AMAZINGLY delicious so far. If you were closer, I'd share. Recipe here: [link] It's like deconstructed nutella in yummier form.

So the Big Boss just came by to see me, and he was very apologetic and all, and even volunteered to extend my contract for a month or two because I have a couple of big projects ongoin and some of them are going to wrap up soon.
I may go with it, since I don't know whether I can line up another job soon. It'll give me a bit more cash to set aside.

Oooh, macaroons not made of almonds. Clipped!
Eta: well, that's something, I suppose, Consuela.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My cyborg-ness has begun. My face feels like I was punched by the Hulk repeatedly. Part of the procedure was called a "sinus tap," which was basically a way to lift the floor of the sinus cavity up so that the implant wouldn't pierce through it. (Apparently in the 7 months since the tooth was pulled, the floor of the sinus cavity, sensing there was nothing beneath it to stop its break for freedom, has been sagging really low.) A "sinus tap" is pretty much just that -- after making an incision in the gums, the dentist puts a tool in there, and then uses Thor's hammer to hammer the SHIT out of the tool to push up the floor of the sinus cavity. ("You should feel a lot of pressure, but no pain," he told me. I told him, "At some point 'a lot of pressure' crosses the line into being pain, you know.")
Then I got even MORE powdered cadaver bone to fill in the space beneath the sinus floor, and then I got my hardware.
So right now my face feels about like you would expect it to. The dentist was all "Most patients are fine with ibuprofen for a couple of days," but you can call my cell if you need painkillers." And I was too loopy to say "Just write me a prescription now, and if I don't need it, I won't fill it."
I believe I have a tramadol or 2 squirreled away from a previous root canal, so I may take that and see how I feel.
And the 2 tablets of Halcion? Jesus chalupa, I think they could have given me 1 and I would have been fine. I remember the whole procedure, but I dozed off in the car on the way home, and once I got home, I slept for about 4 hours. I think I could sleep for 4 more. That's some powerful shit.
