She now has a taxidermied robot mouse.
Since she's using it for her blog, she's decided it's tax deductible.
This is why IRS staff burn out early, isn't it?
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Punishingly Intricate
Woohoo Geneva job!
I totally have the ASMR thing too! Until the TAL piece that I heard a couple of weeks ago I thought everyone had it. I don't get it from all whispering, lip smacking, tongue clicking and some other sounds set my teeth on edge.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
For me, it's that nervous finger-tapping...really makes me want to break the tapper's hand(I had several instructors that did it too.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woohoo, Sparky, that's great news!
My sister raised a baby squirrel that was, hm, must have been injured or something to have come into her possession, I forget that part. Used to like to perch on her head. It eventually went back into the "wild" of the Portland tree canopy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
New US$100 bill in circulation 10/8 - Boing Boing
The new US$100 bill will go into circulation on October 8, 2013. New security features include a "3-D Security Ribbon" woven into the paper. The image changes from bells to 100s with the viewing angle, and "color-shifting" bell graphic that changes from copper to green, "an effect which makes the bell seem to appear and disappear within the (copper-colored) inkwell."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Please tell me Batman is on the new $100 bill.
(Seriously, about 2 hours ago at work we were discussing currency, and how you don't have to be a president to be on the bill, thank you B. Franklin. So I said Batman should be on the $20, and Chatty said that would be too confusing, since Jackson is crazier than Batman.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay for the DH's new job, Sparky! A few trips a year to Switzerland sounds like a bonus to me.
ita, what is with your workplace? Why aren't the people above you who MAKE the bad decisions the ones who get reprimanded for them?
I need to buckle down and get to work. This morning was brutal as I had been awake since 2 am and needed a nap before I could get going.
