Dear [secretary], you know, if you are going to take credit for the work other people have done and present it as your own, and then get asked a follow up question, it might be a good idea not to send the people who did the original work the emails showing that you are taking credit for the work, especially if you did it in a way that makes it look like the other people missed something.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Because books.
Are her books like the web comic, Zen?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Work is irritating me so I painted my nails instead.

Oh lord, Lee. And she expects you to continue to answer her questions, I'd assume.

Pretty much, yes. Which I will, but I will also start copying the attorneys on everything.

re: bathrooming. I asked my doctor how often someone should go to the bathroom, and he said every couple of hours is normal. I have had to pull out the "middle-aged female bladder--look, just ask your mother, OK?" thing when young male supervisors have questioned why I couldn't go through the whole morning without taking a break. Utah law says you should give workers a ten-minute break after 5 hours of work, which to a certain class of manager means someone should be able to keep their butt in the seat for 5 hours straight--and hey, we're giving you the required half-hour lunch for eight hours works halfway through your shift, so what's the problem?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Amy, I don't even know!
tommyrot, that link made me squeal with glee. Deeper realities than them what we already got! EXCITING!
Personally, I think everyone's overhydrated and we don't need to be drinking so much. But that's just my non-doctor-y opinion. I felt better when I stopped dutifully gulping down water whether I was thirsty or not, for sure.
I gotta pee less often, too.

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

The California-based Acme Klein Bottle Company sports quite a catalog of different glass and plastic bottles. They describe their products as "the finest closed, non-orientable, boundary-free manifolds sold anywhere in our three spatial dimensions":
Teppy, is that where yours came from?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Interesting , Zen. Living in CA where it is dryer , I need more water than I used to. Add a few chronic conditions and all the drugs that go with them - about 8 out of 10 times more water helps.
