I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, here's another math problem for you geniuses.

Given a microwave pasta meal that contains tiny pieces of pasta and tomato sauce, what is the chance that at least one piece of pasta will fall off the fork on its way to my mouth and hit three different places on me before it reaches the ground?

What color of clothing are you wearing? If you are wearing white or some other very light color, then the chances increase greatly.

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

100% is the correct answer!

Fortunately, I'm wearing purple and brown. Not a clothing disaster.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

does anyone else feel really disconnected right now?

Yes. Goodness, yes. For me, it's a change of work. New school, new kids, new coworkers. And, this school does not have staff meetings which on the one hand, yay! On the other, it's hard to get to know people. And, I used to co-teach a class, so I had that comraderie which is now gone. Also, I think the 45 mile (each way) commute is a big factor.

I subscribe to these same laws of physics.

Both of these statements are completely accurate.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Didn't you just recently have a similarly shitty customer service experience at a car dealership?

No, that was you.

(Sorry)

Ha, I know, it WAS me, but it was also Tep! Or someone who went to a dealership and was very rudely told she was in the wrong place and was not believed when she told them that the website, then, had the wrong address.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I discovered I have a pair of white pants (I went into a fugue of clothes buying a couple springs ago) and I'm terrified to wear them because lunch will kill them. Also white pants=CSI:Miami to me, but I know it's not so bad on women.

Big all hands meeting went fine. Office is a lot quieter now, but I don't think people are as worried as they were two hours ago. I still haven't heard how it affects my particular project, but I think it is more likely to affect my chances of getting hired afterwards than interrupting the project itself--I just can't predict how.
