I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If the stupid new updated VPN software won't work on my work laptop, then I don't have to actually do any work from home, right?

"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

I guess it depends on how flexible your employers are about "have to" being contingent on to "am able to."

Wahoo! Just found out that we're getting year-end bonuses of some sort this year!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yay for bonuses!!!

I was just talking to my coworker who just came in for the afternoon (she works from home on Wednesday mornings and then comes in to take care of the mail and other in-office stuff). She's going to be here until around 5:00, so when I told her I was going home at 4:30, she was cool with it. 45 minutes left, thank dog.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Anyone in OK available to spit in Tom Coburn's face? I'll send money.

I don't know where either of the two liberals in OK live.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Scrappy, I think I love your niece, too.

Bonuses are a lovely thing. Congrats, Matt.

I am done with work until Monday. Holla.

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

My *god* I've spent a huge hunk of today on the phone. And my video drivers crapped out right in the middle of a remote presentation. How slick.

I have to do a self-evaluation now that I'm a real girl. But that's what stands between me and bonus, so I'll work out a way.

When I was at TJ's today, I saw a woman in her mid to late fifties rocking a mini skirt with a slit. I wanted to fist bump her and flip the bird to What Not To Wear. She looked excellent.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have a quiet house! The kids are off to see TSO - we were offered free tickets 3 hours before show time. Now if only I didn't have a headache. Geeeesh.

About an hour more work before I can call it a day. Both projects I have on my plate are way more than an hour's worth of work, so I don't wanna.

IT'S RAINING AGAIN. OH NO, MY LIFE'S AT END.

Also, thunder. Good god, Los Angeles, can you leak more?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Maybe if it were the bay area it could.
