Overheard in the Office

I did good today. The words "kick ass" and "absolutely stunning" were used by the people that matter. But the energy it took to do all that effectively zapped me of all brain power and the will to live by 3 pm. How I'm still awake at 9 pm is kind of a small miracle.

But now we're that much closer to the big day. In the meantime:

GPG: *reading* Lanugo: “a soft, fine coat of hair that forms on the arms and other body parts of a person who has anorexia nervosa.” So if you’re hairy, you might have anorexia!

Coworker #1: If you have anorexia, I think it grows on you to keep you warm.

GPG: Or to make it look like you aren’t so skinny! Because it shimmers in the light, adding weight.

Gaggle of coworkers: *roll on floor laughing*

GPG: I think that’s cool, you get a free fur coat if you’re too skinny. Bonus!

This was probably only funny because we were on our innumerable consecutive day of 10+ hours in the office. You get a little loopy from that much fluorescent light exposure.


I'm also in no danger of a fur coat. But that's really okay. Fur is murder.

These illogical-yet-so-logical connections are why you are so loved by me.

Leather isn't murder. It's recycling. We're gonna eat the meat anyway, so you might as well use the hide. But when was the last time you had a chinchilla burger?
