In totally unrelated news, this is probably good news for someone.
Whoa. Good myth.

Good luck, ND! And yay Maria!
Jesse I totally had that happen one time--this coworker was all "could you help me with (task) by doing X by tomorrow afternoon?" And I was all "yeah, I could probably do that". And he flipped out that I hadn't given him a yes or no. Whereas I was like "say what you mean! If it's "I need x done by tomorrow afternoon and I will not be able to do it. I need you to do it instead, unless you can justify other tasks" then say so! (He was not my boss. Though he may have thought he was. He had anger issues, and a few months later, at my new job, I was like "oh hello don't hire him!!")

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Because I'm used to "feel free" meaning "hey, do this if you want," like "I made some pie; feel free to have a piece!" That totally doesn't mean "YOU SHOULD EAT PIE NOW!"
...or does it?)
For one of my co-workers it does. If she bakes something and brings it into the office, she'll offer it repeatedly and then hover over you until you've eaten it. There are days when I have to bite back "I DON'T WANT A DAMN MUFFIN!"

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
Drew, that's exciting stuff! My fingers are crossed for you. I'm so happy that lots of good things are happening for you.

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

I don't think this is related, but there is a strain called Kosher Kush. Because it was blessed by a Rabbi.
Seriously.

Thanks everyone. I can't remember the last time my Winter/Spring was this busy. It's very good, just unexpected and a little exhausting. It doesn't help that I seem to be fighting a mild cold right now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm totally an asker. I apologize to guessers, but I tend to think that that is the kind of wooly-headed thinking that leads to getting eaten.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, ND!

Perfect!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I want to think I'm an asker, but then when an asker DOES ask me something, I always assume it's an order, not something I could say no to. So I think that makes me a guesser.

I just always feel like a slacker, which I know is a more than a little crazy, but it's how I inevitably feel.
