There are starving kids in Upper Volta who would _kill_ for blueberries. But I don’t suppose you can trouble yourself to think about them, can you? There’s a Justin Timberlake song on the radio right now. ---

And you are probably embarrassing yourself showing off what you think are dance moves. I was only supposed to work a half day tomorrow, but I’m going in all day. ---

Great. So someone else is going to have twice as much crap to fix on Monday. I think I’m going to go to bed now. ---

> [@msmith537](#): > > I think I’m going to go to bed now. People fucking going to bed when there’s work to do. If weren’t up so damned early, maybe you’d get more done. Well, I’ve got some cats to feed. ---

Just fattening them up before killing and eating them, I bet. What a horrible person you are. I need a new stapler. ---

Oh I know you broke your poor poor overworked stapler performing your various bureaucratic duties designed to create tedium, to confuse the populace and jam up the flow of progress. I’d have more respect for you if you used a shredder more often. Oh, by the way, it’s time I shredded some of my papers. ---

Waste them trees, why dontcha. You could at least use the back for scrap paper and memos. For punishment you have to hug the trees in your yard. My doggy is snoring, it’s so cute. ---

If you didn’t have him performing household chores for you so often, he wouldn’t be so tired. Why not get off your own ass for a change? I see both Italy and Spain have new governments. ---

“Meds”? MEDS? It’s medications, but let’s face facts: The drug companies use that word to hide the fact that you are hooked on their DRUGS! Goddam pushers. I renewed my cell phone contract yesterday. ---

“Hiccoughs”? Well aren’t we la-dee-dah with our spellings. I guess you think you’re better than those of us who spell it “hiccups.” My husband is trying to Skype chat me. ---

Makes YOU crazy. She is a reflection of you. She is responding to you. If you look at her, you are looking at a mirror. You have indeed made her crazy. I practiced Remote Viewing today.
