Should we wish you a Twelve-Angry-Men type jury or a swift dismissal?
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Jesse, whatever that may mean in this particular situation.
I would go see the echidna reproductive cell version of West Side Story.
My official hire date anniversary happened while I was on vacation - I've been an employee here a year. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

It takes Fedex employees longer to put together a shipment using their Fedex software at the store than it takes me using the website.
(Observed while waiting in line to just pick up a package.)
Also, miserably muggy out. It may only be 82, but horrid day to walk across campus. Thank god for server room access.

Of possible interest to Jilli: Zero Teapot - Neatorama
Zero in on your love of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas with the ceramic Zero Teapot from the NeatoShop. This frightfully fun collectible looks like Zero the ghost dog, with the handle and the lid designed to showcase his floppy white ears. A jack-o-lantern adorns his long snout.

So, on which ear does the <head> tag go and which gets the </head> tag?

We smuggled some diet Mountain Dew up to Hubby yesterday, and his migraines have disappeared. Yay, addiction. But the amusing part is the way the medical staff freaked out over seeing Mountain Dew.
No, not because of unhealthy drinks, not because of chemicals throwing off his treatment, not even because of the caffeine.
The University of Utah has signed an exclusivity agreement with Coca-Cola that no Pepsi products will be allowed on their campus. No, not even in private hands, brought in for personal use. As if a bunch of college aged people are going to forego their Dew.
Also, see their horror at him having a water jug with the logo of a competing medical establishment. "You didn't give me one!" he pointed out. They're going to find him one. I told him they should just tape over the offending logo.

That is really funny. I know a lot of people that would have issues with giving up their Pepsi too!

Some serious money gets dealt with at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. An elderly lady was released the day before yesterday, and he gave her good wishes, and she thanked him for raising morale with his collection of odd hats. He thought she seemed a touch more cynical than most people being released from a cancer ward, then he heard later that evening about the new hospital wing and skybridge the lady had written a check for as she left.
