Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I agree with Sara- it is weirdly organized by people who want to be able to point to the policy when people fight their reprimands. I imagine what you want to do is encourage people to follow the policy, eliminate unnecessary absences, but not scare the living bejeezus out of people.

SO maybe- what should I do if I have the flu? What should I do if I need to be absent? What can I do to if my mother is sick and I need leave. What should I do if my child is sick and I need leave?

Not sure this would work given what you are given... for the job,they might want someone who is just informing people of the policy.

Also, now Deb G's kitty has passed. That is three online kitty friends in one day.

I am reorganizing it a bit I think, but I think not too much.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Poodle" is actually 'pudel'--German for puddle--the dog was bred as a water retriever. The coat was to keep the skin dry. Poodles are tough, man. That air of sophistication is aquired, not inbred. They'd rather be out romping in the rain and mud than strutting on a show floor.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's sad about the kitties, Sophia. One of my favorite authors just had to put her cat down. At the end of a long, good life, but still.
