On the awesome webcomics front, I'd highly recommend Emily Carrol's work for both the storytelling and the gorgeous artwork: [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I think I'm going to take my lunch break at your office, sara. I never took the flamethrower out of the car from the last time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is cool:
First Flight of the Phantom, Aerial Footage of NYC Captured With a Quadcopter (The quadcopter in question is a small radio-controlled drone.)
Except the person who made this flew his quadcopter over pedestrians and traffic. I'm not sure I'd want to take that risk with my quadcopter.

It was just a security alert and an aftk. Hmph.
But the urinal in the bathroom across the hall went batshit again and flooded the bathroom, like it does every couple of weeks.
NEVER.ENDING.EXCITEMENT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so grumpy. I'm not sure exactly what I expected from the pain, or lack thereof, but I really didn't want it to hurt this much. I have an art course starting tomorrow, and I want to be able to not cry during it, you know?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am sorry ita, I can't even imagine.
In my not very bad problems world, yesterday my student and I were told we could not have our doors to our offices open (by the fire inspector) even when we were inside of them, and she took our doorstops. It was really annoying because she was really mean about it, and also because I have been told by supervisors I needed to keep my door open! Our office building is very weird- it used to be a dorm, and instead of office suites, each person, no matter their position, rank, job, has their own office, which used to be half a dorm room. Working in it with the door closed is like being in a small cell. Also, many other people had their doors open and did not get their doorstops (which was provided to me because I am required to keep my door open) taken away.
