Browsing Amazon Fresh is strangely hypnotic. Pete is sick, and I'm not feeling that awesome myself, so I'm going to take advantage of living where I do and get groceries delivered to my door tomorrow.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, IO9 is on fire with weird gift ideas. I love this.

I've had a shit day, and I tried to shop my way out of my mood, but nada. Then I went to the Xmas tree lot nearest my house and asked, on the odd chance, if they deliver. And they do!! So my tree should arrive within the hour. It's kind of saved the day.
In what may seem like a complete and utter "diamond shoes are too tight" move, my coworkers and I filed a grievance with our union today because our new department is trying to change our earned day off schedule from every 2 weeks to every three weeks. If they had a a good reason for it, it would be one thing, but their only reason was to bring us in line with the rest of the dept. So late today, our boss' second in command booked meetings with us on Friday and Monday, my supervisor's and my earned days off, respectively. They were marked as busy in our calendars! I'm a little paranoid that they're trying to build a case against us.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Actually, I'm pretty sure they own Quilted Northern and Angel Soft.
Thank you JZ. I can never remember when I am at the store and hence usually just buy the store brand.
That chalkboard skull is beyond nifty. Who wouldn't want one?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, has io9 always been covering pharmaceuticals and I've only now noticed? Because they're annoying me again. I wouldn't characterize any of those "moves" as "sleazy." Thankfully, it looks like the commenters are already making my points for me.

IO9 has always covered science and medicine, Polter.

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
Advice: My boss has been out for 7 days with pneumonia. This is the first day she hasn't called/emailed to say that she won't be in or give a status. She isn't answering phone or texts, and she lives alone. Her parents and brother are deceased. She lives around the corner from here. I really want to drop by to make sure she's ok. But is this some sort of transgression? We do go out after work often to shop and sometimes hang out on the weekend to see a movie/have dinner, so I think I'm looking in on a friend. Dropping by to make sure she's ok is cool, right?

Oh, I think so, Allyson.
