I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Because books.

The Santa at our mall is so cute! He's totally real, beard and all. I wanted to sit on his lap so bad.

Baby seals NEVER come and curl up on my sofa. I'm going to pout about this now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Little seal will forever dream of that one time when everything was warm and soft. *sniffle*

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

Awesome church welcome sign: You Are Most Welcome

The sign says "Please excuse the 'fishy smell'" as baby penguins are nesting under the floorboards of the baptismal font....

I love the baby sloths in their jammies!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

DH got a corporate Christmas gift of molasses and clove cookies. THEY ARE CRACKLIKE IN THEIR DELICIOUSNESS.

Are they Dancing Deer? Those are the best/worst.

I just realized the problem of being in a more specialized department in a big place is that we have no vendors! And thus, no vendor swag.

And I love that the sign asks people to close the door when leaving because of "possum damage".

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Gah. Hec just got a call from Matilda's school--he needs to come pick her up because she has "a bad rash." No details yet. He'll call when he's got her and can see just how bad and where it is, and then I'll call the doctor again.

Poor, poor thing.

I just want baby bats. Roughly a gazillion people have sent me the link to the io9 video of Li'l Drac.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have no vendors either. Plus I don't think we can accept things anymore anyway (certainly not from drug companies!).

So, there is this weird thing at work, where every year we collect money for christmas for the housekeeping and facilities staff each year. I have never really given, so I haven't paid much attention.

However this year I read the email, because it was called "Holiday Offering", which I thought sounded weird and quasi-religious. So, it turns out to be super weird and (I think) a little condescending) as basically they collect money from everyone and then split the cash between the three cleaners and one facilties guy, as if they need charity. They are all union employees, and I am pretty sure that at least the facilities guy makes much more than I do. Also, that has to be a hell of a lot of money, as there are at least 200 people in this building. I mean, I would like the money if I were them, but it also feels a lot like we think they are really poor. It is like when my old boss wanted to buy the facilities guy in my building a winter coat because she would see him walking between buildings without a coat, and I was all "Lady, this guy is a manager in a union position and makes about 30,000 more per year than I do-- I think he is just warm and wants to cool down between buildings."
