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

Jesus. Can't you tell him to, you know, STOP THAT NOW.

We did! He kept sending it. And I then have to email it to myself which is a huge fucking waste of energy and time.

It's astonishingly stupid and wasteful. You can tell because I'm still astonished.

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

Wow.

I'm thinking Tino got to Fred.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You can tell because I'm still astonished.

I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but this? Was funny.

-t, here's hoping Old Boss knows your value and reflects that in the salary offer.

The show that we just opened tonight is going to have a special talkback at one performance next month for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Huh. I might listen in on that one.

Wow, that's a lot of picture texts, David!!

Fingers crossed for you, -t!

I wish my cousins lived closer. I'm so jelly that they live right near each other and near their parents and their kids are so close in age, it's awesome. But I wouldn't want to leave my friends/city.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sometimes I think my entire job is being astonished at the wasteful ways people do things. Or their inability to figure out how to do things on the computer.

I would want to go out and cuddle the Pallas Cat.

-t. I get the caution. I have been dangled a promotion to basically do the same job for a year and a half. I don't really think it will ever happen unless I get an offer somewhere else. But this sounds more decimate- it has a date! Our bS thing on salary is that supposedly you can only ever get a 10% raise within the university no matter how many pay grades you go up. Which I know is not true because I have received a larger than 10% raise three times. I mean, it is true there is a policy, but policies can be broken.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm thinking Tino got to Fred.

Having observed Hec attempting to cope with Fred for years now, I'm thinking Tino and Fred go back a long way together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you saying there's some connection between Fred and Tino?

I see what you did there, Jesse.

Mushu the Pallas Cat was lured into a trap with some mice and is no longer on the run. He didn't go far, just snuggled into a small construction yard not far from his exhibit, and he's safe and warm now. Sadly, he did not get to fight crime with an octopus buddy--That We Know Of!
