Brenda and shrift, I heard on the radio this morning that the S. African consulate (200 S. Michigan) has a condolence book that anyone can go in and sign through next week.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

All right. Dentist, doctor, and optometrist all scheduled, and here's hoping they are on the days I think they are. I'll worry about getting a haircut later.
Are you leaving early, Jesse? I thought that was a prerogative of last days.

Sometimes it's the little things that make my day. I just corrected an article proof that refers to the "Department of Psychological and BRIAN Sciences." Now, it *could* be the most specialized department on the planet, and only studies the psychology of dudes named Brian, but I'm thinking maybe some letters got transposed...

Because books.
There are a few Brians it would be worth looking into, I bet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We often call my cousin Brian "brain."
I have said all of my good-byes, and would leave early, except I am going to a party at my coworker's house (planned before I gave notice) and am getting a ride straight there at 5:30.

This list of 917 people who are hotter than Benedict Cumberbatch is mean, inaccurate, and funny as hell. I lost my shit at #917.

The (not-an-actual) problem with this job is that I just came across a reference to our work on The Toast, and still don't want to send it to my coworker.
