There's a Tear in My Coffee

[shanmonster]

I gave my notice. I feel sorry for the manager. The place is understaffed, and it just got worse with my retirement. The manager looked like she wanted to cry. She wants me to stay on part-time, but that would just be silly when I could make more money doing part-time work through a temp agency from time to time. She may have talked me into working one extra day, though.

I got to come home an hour early tonight because it was creepingly slow at work. But no one's home. Where is everyone?

And that Jillina workshop in Ajax? Well, apparently it's in Toronto, which is much better. And it would seem I've scored a ride. So if I get my registration done in time, I've got another training date for next month. Excellent....

The gym tried to kill me today. My shoulders are so wussy. They don't look wussy. I look pretty buff through the shoulders, but the muscle is just decoration, as far as I can tell. Overhead lifts just about kill me. What's with that?

I just about broke f00dave's mind the other day when I told him Napoleon's middle name was Taurus.

Get it?

And now for a couple more links:

I don't get it.

Those pictures of people with the prostheses make
me really sad, although the "after" pictures do
give some uplift to the whole thing. Why can't
humans regenerate themselves? It's such stupid
design. Definitely *not* intelligent.

Maybe we can embue ourselves with starfish DNA so we can regenerate lost limbs.

Of course, we might also have wrap our stomachs around our food to eat it, so maybe it's not without its problems.

As one who regularly expelled the contents of
his stomach during periods of stress, not un-
like the sea cucumber, I can only view the in-
corporation of starfish DNA as a step higher
on the evolutionary ladder. I think the Indian
pantheon would approve.

yr manager needs a new job. She doesn't realise it yet, because the company has brainwashed her. You did right.

What's a nice girl like her doing with a shitty job like that, anyway? Poor thing....

Taurus, hah. Good one. I wonder what his middle name really was.

[sorceror.livejournal.com]

Alas, he didn't have one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon).

Unless you count the "I" in "Napoleon I, Emperor of the French".

Those prosthetics are works of art. I love that man's work.

[slowly says the full name a few times]

Oww.
