Slow day at Huffington Post.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Woo, I'm going over to see the new Casa de familia flea!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Barry Kellogg, senior veterinary advisor for The Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association, told HuffPost there are probably no long-term ill health effects of photocopying a cat, but that the cat probably doesn't enjoy the process all that much.
I'll sleep better now.
(No, I've never photocopied a cat.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Yeah, buddy. Twenty fucking dollars. Tim said (to me, sarcastically) that he'd just donate that much every month if it meant we don't have to clean up.
Tell them what your hourly rate for janitorial work is. I suggest at least $20/hr. Each.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Conference call from hell.

I find myself needing to learn how to use Excel for it's intended purpose instead of just using it for sorting and layout. Should I go with a Dummies book?

Another board member just replied to the email chain saying "This seems like a lot of work for a tiny amount of money." So I've got her on my side.
I know it's going to be a moot point for me after May since I'm resigning, but I don't want Tim -- or anyone else who didn't agree to extra work -- to be stuck with it.

Stick to your guns, Tep. That's just stupid. No wonder you're frustrated; I'd be, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there any compelling in making sure you can maintain your use of the space? I.e., by not leaving shit behind you that would piss off the church staff?

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
pay as you go
That's good, unless it's a huge failure. My warranty covers my entire HVAC system, among other expensive items. The failure that happened last year was minor, and it still would have cost me $1000+ to repair. If my system completely breaks down and needs replaced, the $540 dollars I spend on the warranty is a drop in the bucket compared to the $10,000 it would cost me to replace my central air/forced air heating system. My sump pump replacement would have been another $500. For just those two issues, I spent $150 rather than $1500.
Have I had to follow through? Yes, but I would have had to do that if I found a repairman on my own. There is also a mechanism to have shoddy repair work corrected.
Some people do not have the reserves to cover a high four- or five-figure repair/replacement. AHS allows you to pay monthly on a credit card with no markup or surcharge. I'd rather pay $45 a month just in case, especially if I know I can't afford a major repair or expense.
do they cover appliances?
Appliances are also covered in mine, washer/dryer included. Certain coverages also cover additional items, like ceiling fans.
My warranty covers the following:
CORE COVERAGE PLAN® • Heating • Electrical • Air Conditioning • Built-in Microwaves • Ductwork • Dishwashers • Plumbing/Whirlpool Tubs • Garbage Disposals • Plumbing Stoppages • Ranges/Ovens/Cooktops • Water Heaters • Trash Compactors

Steph, that's bullshit, plain and simple. You want to sell it, then you have to clean it up. And if the bulldozer brings the snacks out, then you put them away unless there's a designated cleanup person.
