Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Surgery is coming in the afternoon to change the dressing, so no discharge until after that. I'm thinking they'll discharge her tomorrow.

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

I think they need liqour too!

I am wearing a co-worker's jacket, and I'm DROWNING. He's a men's large/XL, and I'm just cold and pathetic.

Also wearing co-workers' clothes is not a habit I intended to endorse.

Yes but perhaps not during work hours.

I've been known to share my coworker's nap pillow. To be fair, I was pregnant at the time, and she is my bud.

Helps with the DT shakes, tho.

I may or may not have a doctor relative who was (is?) alcoholic enough that her higher ups only critiqued her work when she was sober.

Or maybe that's the only time she noticed.

Not when they were using it!

And pretty young (ish) too. I was surprised.

Weirdly, when I read this:

Dennis Farina, a onetime Chicago cop who as a popular actor played a cop on "Law & Order," has died, his publicist told FOX411.

my thought was "how long are you 'his publicist' once he dies"? Is that a set time you're covered for, do you get paid for a while from his estate?

Anything to not think of people in my parents' generation but younger than them dying.

My old boss apparently (der) purposely included me in a lunch invite today. I thought it was a holdover from before, and never accepted. After I made my incoherent defense of his goatee ("before it was 'grrr' but now it's 'laaaa!') he actually pressed me on it.

So I'll go. In a minute.
