I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

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

OMG my coworker is shocked that she would need a passport to travel outside the country. How can she not know that?

Jealous of the rain.

Ann, that's a ferret.

DC is calling for rain through the weekend and into Monday. It could be worse if Hurricane Joaquin decides to visit.

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

Maybe she thinks this passport thing is for the rest of the world, and as an American she is so awesome she doesn't need one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Travel to somewhere not Mexico or Canada? I mean, I know you need a passport for those, too, but you didn't used to!

She seemed genuinely surprised. I guess she's never gone anywhere, but still.

Kinda sounded like it, actually.

And, yes, she was especially shocked about Canada. "Even Canada? What if you took a Canadian cruise, you'd need a passport?" In a very that's-nuts tone of voice.

Common knowledge universal knowledge, I guess.

I've really got to get a passport, so I can take quickie trips to the Great White North.

I need to renew mine, I think it's about to expire. It makes me feel better to have it ready and waiting even though I go years and years without using it.

Oh, yeah, I have to check on mine, too. Which I thought of yesterday in a presentation about our new travel booking system -- I was reminded of the time my boss got stuck in Amsterdam, unable to get on her connecting flight because her passport had less than six months left on it! It was a perfectly valid passport! And a one-week trip!
