Punishingly Intricate

I missed the whole Pam cat butter thing.

And now I feel like it's too late.

Here's a place to start on it [link]

All the ancillary byproducts are really making me happy, but the original story is pretty delightful

Thanks, -t!! I saw a pic of Pam from the Office holding up cards with a sweet potato and a cat yesterday and dismissed it as something I could never catch up with.

Ftr, my old ginger boys were both sweet and pretty dumb.

The orange cats I've had were not particularly smart, but also not particularly dumb. Both female, so idk if they even count towards the dataset. All the tortoiseshells I've known were smart and apt to look out for their buddies, fwtw

My mom's orange longhair isn't dumb, and is definitely not sweet. Though I have found that with cats sweet and dumb tend to go hand-in-hand (my own Molly being a good example).

Our wings are not tired.

Newsflash: I have tried TJ’s Gingerbread Cream Liqueur over ice and in hot (decaf) coffee and am surprised to find I prefer it over ice

A more complete dataset would involve trying it over ice cream.

So, now I have to devote some of my morning to falling down the Pam cat butter hole, because better late than never, right?

eta: I read the link -t kindly provided above, My day just improved dramatically despite the tears and the possibility that I scared my cats with the snorts. Thankfully I was not sipping my coffee at the time.

Oh, man, thanks for that link, -t. That was a delightful wake-up story.

I will carefully consider the ice cream follow up investigation, Laura

I feel like I should point out that I first came across Jean and Jory’s due to Fay, so it’s all Circle of Buffistas. Or something.

Thrive to spite them

Ask a Manager is on vacation bur I hope someone sent this to her . I think its actually a great example of good HR and also a supervisor who was doing good at making accommodations, a co worker who was making things worse and then a supervisor who actually did the right thing in making changes when realizing they were treating Jorts and Jean differently.

Also if Jorts had been buttered and not margarined he might not have had diarrhea but maybe not.
