It's done. I came to work like normal because I wasn't told otherwise and just in case it didn't happen this morning. Too early. So I've been banished to the basement where I'm killing time putting in a load if dirty table cloths from the bridge party.
Maybe I've always been here.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Heads up: Today is Internet Jackass Day. Stay alert.
I actually look forward to what NPR and Google come up with.
I also remember with chagrin the year Opening Day was on April 1. My desk at work was situated so that I couldn't get AM radio, but one of my co-workers, in another room, could. So he had the game on and would periodically come over and tell me what was happening.
Well, that was the year that the home plate umpire died during the game. And when my co-worker (who was a notorious prankster) told me, I didn't believe him, because it was April 1. Ooops.

Just I was falling asleep last night, with Pumpkin curled in my hair and snoring, there was this enormous racket. It seriously sounded like someone trying to break it. Both Pumpkin and I leaped out of bed and I followed her...
…to the spare bedroom where Loki had opened the cabinet and was trying to pull out the drawer containing their food. Which has only been kept in there a week.
Good news: I don't think he can get the drawer open. Bad news: time to find a new location AGAIN because he's persistent. And that was noisy.
Pumpkin and I went back to bed after I'd put a tub of litter in front of the door.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I am enjoying Ask Metafilter today, though.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It took me a second to get the Troy to Ithaca one, because where I live (western NY) that wouldn't be that weird.

The Troy to Ithaca one -- just the title alone -- made me laugh and laugh, because I am a huge-ass nerd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, that was the year that the home plate umpire died during the game. And when my co-worker (who was a notorious prankster) told me, I didn't believe him, because it was April 1. Ooops.
This is why mean pranks are the worst! (Although I enjoy a funny email or two.)
