We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

That's so awful.

Tino's office is near mine; he is keeping his door closed and refusing to make eye contact whenever we pass near one another. I feel like I'm in 7th grade.

With lunch I had something called a "donut muffin" which was actually kind of delicious. Even though something like that is probably prohibited in the Old Testament.

Au bon pain has some sort of croissant/bread roll thingy right now that is pretty damn tasty. (Does not resemble bready croissants, FTR, which are a scourge upon the earth.)

A wrong croissant is a very wrong thing. Now eating something called a "donut muffin" would amuse me and make me feel all whitey.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Double check what your paint is called too. I had to replace a side mirror and the dealer swore my model could not be the color it is. But scratches are pretty easy to blur. They are still there but you can make them way less visible pretty easy and cheap.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I have a teeny bottle of touch-up paint that I picked up at the auto-supply store. They had a reference book so I could get the correct shade (of white). Less than $5 if I remember correctly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FTR, I'm slightly angry about working a full day today, but at least I'm not in the all-day meeting currently happening in the conference room with a bunch of higher-ups, so I may be here, but I'm not working much actually.

Related to not working, was it actually CSI where Kate Walsh played a translady? In my head it was definitely Law & Order, but apparently not!

It was actually CSI, Jesse. Ch-Ch-Changes S5.E8

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

sarameg, if it's to the metal, get it taken care of. Otherwise it will rust. If it's just a surface scratch, buffing should help. K's suggestion of a paint pen is also good. The dealership can also give you a small jar of touch-up paint too. But take care of it sooner rather than later, otherwise oxidation and sun damage will make the disparity in the new vs. old paint more apparent.

I'm sorry everyone is being nibbled to death by ducks today. I hope it improves quickly.

That's what the internet told me, Beverly! I have such a strong image of a courtroom scene, but that must be mixed up with when she was on L&O.
