Awesome. I wish I could say I did that on purpose, but....
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Stephen is no longer surprised when I say, "Yeah, I know someone who makes cigar-box guitars," or "...someone who went to Moldova" or "...someone who's a law librarian," or whatever. He now assumes that if you're a Buffista, you just know everybody.
Whenever Tim needs to research something, he tells me to ask the Buffistas first.

Because books.
Tim is wise.
Heh. "Wise Tim" makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I really need to concentrate better today.

So much this. It's funny.

My face is acting like a fucking barometer for this storm. Uhg.
One of our beloved developers is leaving. We may have to put the entire team on suicide watch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's snowing like a mofo again.
At least I took the train to work today, so I won't be stuck behind a Prius going 10 mph on the way home.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I spent 4 years with a Tim (not Steph's Tim, I'm sure) in the next office. My mind went to Monty Python more than once.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I think the story about the police chief who apologized to John Lewis should be Good Stuff, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Where did all you guys go??? I expected to do a bunch of catching up, and three posts. Sadface.
But I did go check why I didn't remember the Go Human Beings part of my Community shirt--they fit small, and the G and E are basically in my armpits, and the slogan is facing downwards, not out. If someone read that back to me, I'd have to smack them for impertinence. In fact, Colin was all "But, no, your breasts are really big" the other day, and it's clearly one more thing I need to file under "Don't Fight It" but...damn. I used to have one jacket I know couldn't close. Now I have at least three that I can fasten only halfway up. And, I swear, I was being sensible about my Banana Republic shirts, but they clearly changed their cut somewhere, because I have a lot of regular 8s, and some gap and some don't. The 10 petite works pretty well, though. That was a good call, even though done for the discount, not the fit.
