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

But she enjoyed it in the moment, so maybe you can focus on that too.

My sister's coworker told her the same thing. And my brother agrees.

Also, I have to wonder what's up with the ATL airport. This is the third time in 2 months that my lock has either been missing or attached but unlocked when I'm transiting through that airport. No note from TSA saying they had to check my bag, and nothing's been missing.

Sounds like TSA needs another housecleaning. They probably would've stolen if you had anything good in there. Boo.

I am in Omaha. Whee? So sleepy--had to get up at 6am to make my flight. Finished a meeting early and am now having more coffee. Two more meetings and three reports to write. Ugh.

Also, I feel I am quite well-paid, but those SF prices scare the crap out of me. Dear lord!

Always Anti-fascist!

Yuck, could have used a tag or warning before someone on my friend's list posted a pick of a bouncy-house staph infection. I hate that facebook doesn't give you a choice about opening pictures.

As well they should. "The median rent in San Francisco, according to the index, now sits at a terrifying $4,225/month." [link]

Edit: there are a lot of arguments that the median rent isn't actually that high, but it's still Too Damn High.

I feel about that number the way I feel when I try to comprehend infinity.

It's slightly more than the median household income in the US.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Why I live in the boondocks.

But enough about the furious math I've been doing! I totally forgot about this chocolate and peanut butter mini-cupcake sitting on my desk. Gonna eat you now, cupcake.

Yipes! That makes me reach for the smelling salts and I live in LA! Admittedly we are very fortunate to live in our house.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I pay $525 a month rent.

How do people like secretaries exist in San Francisco (or do they just get paid more too)
