Sounds like DC is having a seriously screwed up commute this morning.
What happened? I had no problem, but I get to the office pretty early. And the freeway outside my office is running smoothly, which is pretty rare.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What happened?
Did someone find a headless corpse?

I just gave a presentation to a class, came back to my desk and checked Facebook, and found a new post by a student in the class who happens to be on my friendlist, made during the class. Facebook etiquette fail, young man!
Oh, I think that warrants being called out next time.

Alas, I only do one-shot appearances in other people's classes, so there is no next time. He's a sweet kid, too. (And his post was about making plans to go see the Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown musical in NYC!)

I dunno, flea, I think the appropriate response is a comment saying "ettiquette FAIL! You posted this instead of paying exquisite attention to every word I was presenting to your class? I'm hurt."
(eta--I realize that could sound like I'm making fun of you an I'm not! Just meaning a lighthearted comment is the way to go)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would totally bust that kid!
That's worse than when I was emailing back and forth with a coworker and I realized she was on a conference call with the CEO...

Before I have to log off, I just have to post that, based on your answers, vanilla bean seems like a really good ice cream, the kind I really wish they sold here. Thanks, you guys!

Bye Nilly! Great birthday gift, to see your font in here!
I'll probably be running over to CBC & Hungry Mother tonight, so I'll toast you with a beverage (or three).
I approve!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want like buttons for work emails. Someone just sent out one with a "too soon?" joke in it. I'm a sucker for that shit.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it's amazing to me that i can do 40% of the work a co-worker and i share in 45 minutes or so and yet the remaining 60% takes her 3+ hours. of course, that could be because she stays on personal phone calls.
