Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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

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.

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.

I still haven't heard from workers comp about the new change in status. Still haven't received anything in the mail. I think I will have to get a lawyer involved if I want to get anywhere with this or get payment.

Ugh on workers comp, askye! Getting workers comp should be the easiest thing in the world and it makes me very angry that it's actually very difficult!

Apparently the third party administrator company Corvel is the absolute worst for dealing witv workers comp. Previously we had United dental which is the absolute worst became United Healthcare sucks the mew Dr I found for gp had a very visible negative reaction to hearing UnitedHealth when I mentioned it to him about..something .

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am thinking of all of you with health things and kid things and all the things.

I think I am in love with the Jean and Jorts saga. I retold it to my mom and she loves it too! I think I saw it from Dianne (possibly a Bronzer) and then Fay. I agree with askye that this is such a great example of a manager and HR handling things really well.
