You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

Would you be moving? You might want more time than that?

Yes. My boss said two weeks notice would be OK so I could have a free week to move. I've been assuming I could find an apartment through online sites so I wouldn't have to visit to look at apartments.

I'm also assuming I can arrange movers during the three week period. Or else rent a truck and hire movers to load and unload it.

Am I assuming too much?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

There's a guy in the US Open whose first name is Tennys.

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

I admirably resisted replying with "You mean 'send the files to the author FOR THE FOURTH TIME'?")

Yeah, don't resist that any more.

There's a guy in the US Open whose first name is Tennys.

That is the best thing I've heard today.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Does he have a son who's a poet?

Wikipedia to the rescue:

Although Tennys Sandgren is a tennis player from Tennessee, he is actually named after his great-grandfather who did not play tennis and was not from Tennessee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fucking Ronnie.

Ronnie went all Tino on you.

Congrats, Tommyrot! Erin can probably tip you to some cool stuff in KC.

Perhaps Ronnie's middle name is Tino. It seems like it must be.

I am very dubious about Mr. Tennys Sandgren's hair and facial hair choices.

Fingers crossed for your stepdad, Laura.

I feel for you, Steph. I was dealing with my own brand of work bullshit last week, including my opposite number with a client who couldn't be bothered to actually find and look at the files I posted online for his review.

At least hearing how poorly prepared he was for a feedback meeting he was supposed to be co-running with days of prep time erased any doubts I might have had about my own competence on this project. I held it together better in meetings the week I got back from hospitalization for a nervous breakdown years ago.
