I can kind of see that. Based on stills, anyway. I never watched Alf, but I am having trouble imagining what satirical political subtext it might have had.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I read this that Alf (the puppet) was watching over Connie's dad.
Yup.
Rain here, lots of rain.
Yup.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My brother has an appointment today with his therapist. I'm looking forward to the therapist's input on Jeff's attempt to taper off alcohol without going to the hospital.
Jeff is still sleeping right now, so I have blessed silence. My brother is one of my favorite people in the world, but I'm used to spending most of the day alone, so having someone there 24/7 is weird. (Even on the weekends, when Tim is around, he isn't a chatterbox. I've gotten used to Beckmeyer stoicism!)
I am drinking some seriously good coffee, though. Benefits of a SiL who's a coffee buyer.

Mmm, coffee. Hope the therapist appointment is helpful!

Fingers crossed!

Best of luck today, Teppy! I hope the therapist can talk some sense into your brother.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good luck today, Teppy! Hopefully incessant talking is a good sign.

He's awake and STILL TALKING.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I usually store my purse and lunch container on the spare chair in my office. When my coworker is coming in to meet, I clear off the chair. If she comes in and it turns out she needs to sit down, she just moves my purse and my lunch thing. Without asking. And puts them on the floor.
I realize this is not a big deal, but it really trips my no-touchy-my-stuff neurosis, and I find it kind of rude.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I realize this is not a big deal, but it really trips my no-touchy-my-stuff neurosis, and I find it kind of rude.
Huh. I'd do what your coworker does. But I might be rude. Though the logic is My Ass Trumps Your Stuff, which is the why people who occupy two seats on the train so they can have their bag on a seat get stinkeye.
Admittedly this is your office and your stuff, so it's not an exact correlation.
