I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have never noticed my co-workers' bathroom habits, which is something I hope to carry through any and all future jobs. (Unless I'm working at home with the pets; in that case, Kato makes sure I *always* know about his poops.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am a little afraid I go too much, mostly because for some reason there is a young man whose desk is pointed straight at the women's room. And sometimes I go just to have something to do because I can't sit still.

My desk used to face the men's room, and I sort of thought that he and I should trade.

hip deep in pie

I tend to go a lot in the afternoon, after drinking a lot in the morning.

Also, my bladder is totally the type that needs to go when I am in the most restrictive places.

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

I am on diuretics too, but they don't make me go much. More, but not much.

I am creeped out by the frequency the other person in the stalls goes entirely silent for the whole time I'm in the bathroom, but I don't know who that (she...) is. I try to avoid seeing shoes or anything else.

My therapist homework is to park farther away from my ultimate destination. For some reason I don't think she's understanding that I suffer from a lack of can that is more overwhelming than my lack of want. I think I will be bringing the spoons metaphor with me to the next meeting.

At work I have to walk right by The Preacher (a patron who sits at the same table all day every day talking about the Lord), so I am always very self-conscious about going to the bathroom too often.

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

I don't really give a shit about people who give a shit when I have a shit.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, is anyone here familiar with a children's book called One Seed by Rosemary Phillips? One of the women who run Ryan's childcare centre is looking for a copy, and as far as I can tell the entire internet is sold out.

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

I didn't fully understand this (perhaps because I am still exhausted from my trip), but those of you who dig quantum mechanics and string theory might like this. Or have your mind blown.

'Holographic Duality' Hints at Hidden Subatomic World | Wired Science | Wired.com

According to modern quantum theory, energy fields permeate the universe, and flurries of energy in these fields, called “particles” when they are pointlike and “waves” when they are diffuse, serve as the building blocks of matter and forces. But new findings suggest this wave-particle picture offers only a superficial view of nature’s constituents.

If each energy field pervading space is thought of as the surface of a pond, and waves and particles are the turbulence on that surface, then the new evidence strengthens the argument that a vibrant, hidden world lies beneath.

For decades, the surface-level description of the subatomic world has been sufficient to make accurate calculations about most physical phenomena. But recently, a strange class of matter that defies description by known quantum mechanical methods has drawn physicists into the depths below.

bt, have you ruled out the e-book (which is really a .pdf) version? www.oneseedstory.com

Yes, WHRRC (Woman who runs Ryan's childcare) is looking for a hard copy. I think she's already got the .pdf, and a recording of the song.
