Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

Because then I wouldn't have to cook it

I am fine with cooking, esp when it's easy cooking like sauteing a piece of fish or a chicken breast, etc. But even so, TJs FTW! Some of their prepared salads are low on the carbs and usually delicious. And some of their frozen meals work too. And bonus, if you do try it, I'll be your totes non-judgey support.

You know what's going to suck? That I'll still be cooking up pasta and rice and quinoa and pizza for the kids and DH, I just won't get to eat it. That's going to hurt.

Our wings are not tired

As a small business with employees Jury Duty pay is a difficult decision. I was faced with it earlier this year and ended up setting my policy. I pay for two days of Jury Duty and after that the employee can take unpaid time off. It is at their discretion to use vacation time (I provide 4 weeks) if they wish.

I'd like to do more, but losing a key employee to an extended jury duty is something I just couldn't cover financially. I budget for 4 weeks of vacation time but adding a few weeks of jury duty to that would just stretch the budget too far. It's the fact that it is completely unpredictable. Will I get stuck with a few days or will I lose the employee for weeks. In LA if you get place on a jury the average lengths 10 days.

If I got four weeks of vacation, I don't think I'd complain about jury duty.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I didn't do much work for ND but I'm pretty sure he is the best boss of all the bosses.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You should ask if the therapist is single. And hot.

Shit, Dana, that's so funny I might just have to.

Strix, is that a new one? I would recommend going through more of the old ones if you haven't, ie, the ones that are generic and CHEAP. I'm on generic zoloft, for example. Or is there a specific reason that one is being recommended to you?
