You don’t get out much do you? Oh, and thanks for making me feel bad about my lowly stapler. I had a nice low key Mother’s Day. ---

You must be some kind of dull. I’ll bet your friends have lots of excuses when you call for gatherings. I bought some incense with aromas of frankincense and myrrh. ---

I’m guessing you aren’t going to donate that new quilt to a homeless shelter, but keep it for yourself. That’s just selfish. One of the dogs has a well visit with the vet tonight. ---

Do you know how many millions of people on this planet don’t have access to proper medical care…and here you are bragging about taking your DOG in for a routine checkup?! Only in the First World. When I asked my Magic 8 Ball if I should have pizza for lunch it said “definitely” ---

It actually left your body in disgust because its polluted with salt, cholesterol and various chemicals and preservatives. Yuck! I made it to work this morning before the storms hit! 🙂 ---

Without a moment’s thought for all of your slightly-later fellow commuters placed at risk of life and limb by the storm, apparently. Nice. I’ve been listening to _The Buena Vista Social Club_ this morning: [- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNYOVEXJBBM) ---

I was working all morning and in fact, all afternoon. You may want to give it a try sometime. We got a very heavy thunderstorm a couple hours ago. ---

Thats right don’t share all that rain with the folks suffering drought. Greed is unbecoming. I danced to a tune on the radio and my dogs joined in. We had fun! ---

You didn’t say who ran the library, but I hear it’s the KKK. Just doing your part to lay the groundwork for a race war, eh? I just yawned. ---

They scaled you back to part-time, did they? Plus, “off of” is a high school grammar mistake. No wonder they cut your hours. Comedy Central is showing reruns of _The Office_ and it’s still funny.
