Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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

Yes but perhaps not during work hours

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.

I've been known to share my coworker's nap pillow

Not when they were using it!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

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

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.

My dogs know very few commands. Daisy knows off, your chair, your bed, and budge up.

Well, I say they don't know them. Bluebell knows them. It's just her response is to go limp and refuse to move like she's a 1960s protester.

Sitting is out of the question. Greyhounds just don't sit, at least not comfortably.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ugh, it's my day off and am realizing that I failed to get together a list for the ED of people to invite to boss lady's farewell pizza party (that is actually our staff meeting). And knowing him, he didn't put together a list of his own and reach out. "Party" is tomorrow. I feel like a giant heel. Sent out some last minute emails but this whole thing from the beginning has felt super awkward: "come say goodbye, now scram so we can have our staff meeting".

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's a boy!
