I just opened the bottle of Pierre Cardin that was delivered for me today, and clearly had no idea exactly how big an 8 oz. cologne spray bottle would be. Not only will I never run out in my remaining lifespan, I'll also have an effective blunt weapon within arm's reach if an intruder ever surprises me while I'm showering.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Yeah, the whole review thing is pretty bullshit when they say across the board that one job title can't get high rankings. It is to control the amount of raise given, but then they should just put caps on raises. Bullshit. Layoffs are not coming, not in the field anyway.

Yeah, that is some morale killing bullshit. Is there a reason to stay there?

yeah good pay and benefits, plus one more year until I get an extra week of vacation.
I plan to move in 2019, 2020 anyway, so I'd rather wait and do only one job search in the next 5 years.

So there's this fluffy black stray I've been calling the Tribble because it looks like a small round one(this story is not mine, not another me-feline-drama) that Sarah&Joe set a shelter up for and were feeding on their porch. Seemed kinda feral, would run from people but hung out on all our porches. Sarah's been waging a campaign to befriend it/him.She even got him to submit to brushing (liked it lots.) Anyway, I get an email tonight, he's in her basement and not being at all shy or feral. And she's calling him The Tribble. Her cat, who is verrrry particular, is completely indifferent. I'm gonna laugh if they end up with a cat they call The Tribble.
...and thank my stars they noticed him first and Joe set up a shelter and I was coming off Andy trauma.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay Tribble!
ND,
She should have to buy you out if she wants the house.
I agree, and I say that as someone who wanted the house, and who had to take out a mortgage to buy out the rest of the family. But it was the right thing to do because in all that time, I've never felt one speck of guilt about walking off with someone else's inheritance. You are not obliged to walk away from all of your inheritance just because your sister made bad choices.

Hi, my name is Connie, and I have a bin problem.
Various bins are for sale at the supermarket. I looked at them and thought "Ooh, bins!" I had to yell at myself "You have empty bins! You have a basket of bins! You do not need more bins!" "But . . . bins!" Really, it's a sickness. Fortunately I got out of there without them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Let your motto be "Bin there, done that."
Drew, I'm very sorry. You have higher priorities right now than your sister's demands.
Steph, I"m glad your brother's getting through it. He's lucky you could go out there.
