ita, I think sometimes people in the stores are so relieved to have someone come in who actually knows what they're talking about and is pleasant, that they just, well, have happy kittens.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of happy kittens...I just taught my manager llama drama. I don't even know anymore. But she's pretty good, as far as I can tell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People are a mess, I am jealous of Sue, and Allyson is not a loser. I'm pretty sure that's all I've got from today.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
When did I become the person at work who knows where everything is, and how do I stop it? (I don't know the location of everything, but it is assumed I do)

Gah, I have spent hours yesterday and today rewriting a contractor's report. The actual sentence construction is crap, and the organizational structure doesn't make sense, AND they're making no effort to use critical-thinking skills. It's all really intellectualized and hypothetical, without site-specific data.
They're going to hate me. And they're already complaining about the budget, god knows why--from this analysis, it doesn't look like they've done that much.
OTOH, I'm kind of having fun; it's the kind of work I used to do a lot of and not so much anymore.

I had no idea! There is a growing clandestine world of pork cooks in Israel, and a retired cardiologist has put out a pork cookbook.

I did make soup with magnets yesterday, so that's something.
That's just cool. Also, unrelated to magnets, but related to -t's cookings, chopped liver sounds DELICIOUS. People should stop using it as a negative comparison. Chopped liver, baby!
Cash, your cut and color (and you!) are gorgeous.
There was more, but I forget.

... and the advantage of completely reorganizing this report's analysis section is that I have found a bunch of inconsistencies, and some assertions without citations or grounding. Oh, they are going to so hate me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
People should stop using it as a negative comparison. Chopped liver, baby!
When people say I am treating them like chopped liver, I often think, "Hmm, I don't think I like you THAT much." Because chopped liver is deliciousness.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, a terrible player in the major leagues is still incredibly good compared to 99.9% of the population.
Any major leaguer is one of the five hundred best players in the world, give or take the top 10% of the Japanese leagues, some guys on the Cuban team, and the top 25 prospects in the minors.
