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

College football weirdness: Only one end zone to be used at Wrigley game

In response to the fact that the back-middle of the east end zone was just a foot from a thickly padded wall, the Big Ten has decided not to use that end zone for any offensive plays:

1. All offensive plays will head toward the West end zone, including all extra points and all overtime possessions.

2. All kickoffs will be kicked toward the East end zone.

3. After every change of possession, the ball will be repositioned for the offense to head toward the West end zone.

4. As a result of a coin toss held by the conference office Friday morning, Illinois will occupy the West team bench in the first half and Northwestern will occupy the West team bench in the second half and for all overtime periods.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm a little tired of people calling for either 1) a boycott of flying or 2) a protest at security.

1) I cannot avoid flying. It's lovely that Amtrak and driving are an option for you. If I give up flying, I'm stuck in Eastern Washington.

2) If you are in front of me at security and try to stage a sit-in? I will lose my shit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice job, Kathy!!

My workaholic coworker is taking next week off, and she keeps talking about it like it's really a week off, which makes me laugh. It's like she's forgotten that the rest of us will only be here for 2.5 days. Maybe 2.7, but still.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Am right with Dana. Also? I have no doubt these same people will be UP IN ARMS when there is a terrorist attack on a commercial train in America and they will be calling for SECURITY and pointing fingers.

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

Welcome to the high life, Kathy! I swear, I totally don't ever want a car payment ever again.

Dana, I'm totally with you. Though, if you want to boycott flying, go ahead. This may mean shorter security lines for me, and I'm good with that. However, causing shit in the actual security line? No, don't go there.

Also where not to go? Letting your work voicemail inbox get full. How is that even allowed? Yeah, I'm going to walk over to your company liaison and have her email you directly. I will escalate that shit right off the bat. How irritating. And your voicemail is picking up after two rings. I have absolutely zero confidence you're reachable or responsive.

Trying grapefruit Grown Up Soda today. Not very grapefruity, which is good. Yesterday's verdict was that it was too acid for my delicate tummy.

My goal is to not have to buy another car for at least ten years (my Civic should last that long), and then have enough cash saved to pay cash for a slightly-used or program car. No more new cars for me!
