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

Interview~ma, Theo!

I have no idea about Episcopalian baptisms, Calli, but I think a willingness to sing Jerusalem is always a good idea. Makes me think of Sting and David Bowie, which I feel is often a recommended state of mind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's an Episcopalian ceremony. I grew up Methodist

I think you'll be expected to drink the blood of the innocent.

I'm so glad Mr Peabody finally ran home, Ginger!

The powers that be did something awful to us: without warning, overnight, they removed all the coffee makers (we had pod things in the staff & faculty lounges). A look through the window tells me the Dean's office still has one, and it's possible the faculty lounge behind the double locked doors still has one (I do have keys, somewhere), but, this was a really shitty thing to do.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Why would they do that, Sparky!?!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I think you'll be expected to drink the blood of the innocent.

Oh, that's fine. I mean, usually that's more of a Tuesday thing for me, but I can adjust for a friend.

That's awful!

Why would they do that, Sparky!?!

My first and best guess is that it is a money saving thing.

ETA: This is after they cut the hours of the cafe in the building, so it didn't open until 11 a.m. during the regular semester, and now that we are in summer session, they have completely closed it.

Here, they just made us start bringing our own pods. And we have an old-style industrial coffee maker in the main lounge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It seems really crazy to me to remove coffee makers as a cost-cutting measure. Like Sophia, people here bring their own pods.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The solution, obviously, is for the company to provide coffee, but only for those people who can close sales.
