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

Man, Perkins, you have so much going on right now. Make sure you take it easy, okay. It's a lot to handle.

Negative dreams last night, the sort where you aren't mad at the insomnia, but you still realise you have to get right back to bed or otherwise...well, there's a bit of otherwise going on. Man, I feel awful.

Gawker posted a picture of the guy who runs Pinkberry, who's been accused of some startling violence (jumping out of his car and beating a homeless man with a tire iron because he was offended by his tattoo), and people are saying the weirdest things about him. At least, I want to believe they're weird. He's a man of average looks, in a picture where he's neither smiling nor frowning. He's wearing a button down shirt that's unbuttoned, no tie, a black suit jacket with grey stripes, and you can just see the tips of his pocket squares.

He looks like a gangster and someone who'd fight Neo in The Matrix. What does that last one even mean? Sure, if he was wearing sunglasses, I could kind of get it, but...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Maybe they only see Asians wearing suits in movies about the asian mafia? Because he looks fairly nondescript to me.,

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Perkins, I'm so sorry.

Um, have people seen this video of Benedict Cumberbatch dancing?

Aaaaaaahhhhhh! *flails* Being able to watch that video is already the best thing about working from home today.

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

I'm so sorry, Perkins.

Were there Asian agents in The Matrix? I remember Hugo Weaving and random bad guys like the ghost twins fighting Keanu.

Not that I remember. But pretty much any man in a dark suit and sunglasses will look like either a Matrix agent or a Blues Brother, depending on build. But, he isn't wearing sunglasses, so I got nothing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All sympathies, Perkins.

Now I wanna see a Matrix / Blues Brothers crossover movie. Just a bunch of guys in dark suits and sunglasses fighting. And Carrie Fisher with a flamethrower.

not your mom's socks.

where she told me she was to go home after working for me, and she told the other department she was staying late for me.

that seems odd. Less odd than what I thought it was originally - telling each dept. she was working for the other. Still - odd?

They were lending her to me for an hour (and they were paying her), so when the hour was up I wanted to make sure she went back to them. She said, "I am going home after this, so I am just going to finish up your work". Then she left. Then her supervisor from the other department came and asked me where she was and when I told her she went home, other department supervisor said she had emailed her to tell her she was staying a little late here. I should probably talk to that supervisor before I make my decision, but I hate going down in that area because the student I fired works for them as well.
