Hand to God, she used to keep a list for him of who arrived late and who left early.
Oh, she should not be surprised if she comes back to her car and finds four flat tires.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
So I posted on Craigslist, left a message for Animal Control (closed on Mondays), called a local vet, and plan to call the no-kill shelter when it opens at 10. Hopefully either the vet or the shelter will scan him for a microchip.
Anything else I should do?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is there anywhere near you you can post a sign?

Hmm. I don't think so. Well, I could on our mailboxes, but I don't think this dog belongs to anyone in the complex. And I'm not going to do it in the freezing rain.
God, I hope he has a microchip.

Dana - you might want to call your local police station too. They may get news of lost dogs there.

Aww, doggy. You're good people, Dana.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My apartment building has either changed the pet rules, or people (including the apartment manager) are quite brazen. It is dogs and cats up in here. It's weird...what if I moved here in part because there were no pets allowed? I don't remember being informed that the rules had changed. Seems like something worth a mention, even though I'm not about to throw a snit fit--but people with phobias or allergies should get warnings.
Good god, this morning's tea is great.
As is hearing Change Control over the wall saying "ita ! does a very good job with her status--I can just copy and paste from what she reports."
Status reporting is my Achilles heel--you don't even know. I am publicly mocked in front of CIOs for my weakness, my inability to say more than "Stuff. Happened. Kinda like we expected."
I want to grab Change Control and stuff them into my performance evaluation which was way slanted towards the middle of the year (clusterfuck) and light on the beginning (miracle project from hell).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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