My boss is deliberately misinterpreting what happened in a meeting yesterday and making me edit the meeting minutes to reflect that. We're supposed to set up a business user advisory group, but he doesn't want to, so he's having me leave that out. Dude, it's going to come back and bite us in the ass. And you better not make it look like it has anything to do with me. Because I put it in.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ita, do you have documentation of your boss telling you to do that? If so, I'd save it.
Just like that woman at Xerox-PARC who refused to show all their secrets to Steve Jobs until she was ordered to in writing....

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Good stuff: I got a Xmas candy gift from a student, got three new books for next semester approved (I'm teaching The Poisonwood Bible! Which I love!) and just ate a French dip.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I made cock-a-leekie soup and it was so easy and came out pretty damn good.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I will be seeing my last for a long time, possibly ever, of Rage Nurse and Vengeance Doc.
Is Rage Nurse the really evil co-worker you have who says mean things to you? And if not, does your new position mean you won't have to deal with that mean co-worker?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Good stuff: The kids' holiday pageant was today and it was super cute, start to finish. And there was a holiday bazaar outside where I got to buy handmade soaps and a pretty wallet to give my MiL and other pretty items.
More good stuff: I got a yonk of nail polish to give to DH's cousins for Xmas and they are all so purty I want to keep them all, but will happily settle for the two I bought for myself. One's a holo. I haven't tried out a holo yet, so I am looking forward to it.
Less good: I think I have developed a polish addiction. Family members may be staging an intervention.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well if you need talking points or tricks to hide your polish, let us know. We're here to help. You, I mean. Not those people who want to keep you from pretty nails.

My god, I hate our data centre. Dude, if you call me and ask me for permission to do...the next thing, you need to tell me what the next thing is. And then when I give you permission, the bit where you tell me I'm not authorised to give you permission? Is just stupid, and don't call me next time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yes, and yes.
I'm actually going to miss some of her astonishingly petty and mean spirited comments. They were bracing in their transparency and intent to wound.
No, wait! I won't miss that.
