Can’t you get started in the morning without caffeine?

My most annoying co-worker starts maternity leave next week. Now I don’t have to hear her daily, incessant pregnancy excuses for not doing her work.

You get to look forward to her bringing her bawling rugrat to work because nobody wants to babysit that little changeling.

Working half Fridays this month and next. Yippee!

Looks can be deceiving, you know. I just checked the forecast for your area and there’s a mile-wide tornado heading your way at 25 miles an hour. You’ve got about three minutes to get everyone in the car and out of there before your house blows away.

I like to grocery shop early Sunday mornings when Walmart’s not too crowded.

Man-up and get to work. Maybe you can earn your own watermelon.

It’s 8:15 in the morning and I’ve got a decent buzz going.
