The unread book piles around here are scandalous. All four of us are offenders. I do keep them neatly dusted, however. And they make nice bases for photo frames and such.

Mr. Grits got a book from the library for me to read. Good Prose, the Art of Nonfiction. It was a kind gesture, but it’s really stressing me out. They don’t stamp the dates on a card any more, and it’s not on my account. How will I know when it’s due? What if I read it and I still have DAYS to spare?!

*Grits unplugs laptop and hides from library book*

The sad thing is, you're probably right XD

Pretty sure he is. *glances at PM box*

What?! Hey! XD

But yeah, women are crazy, dude. This one woman that used to work for my company as a cashier six months ago was... I don't even know what her problem with me is. She was texting in front of customers and calling her friends on her phone while checking customers out and playing offensive music out loud. I told her to put her phone away and keep it on silent (I even said please!) and from then on she had it out for me. We caught her stealing, ONLY when I was the manager on duty, though. Before we could confront her, she disappeared. She came back the other day and verbally harassed me, called me names and said I do gross things to keep my job. (I cannot mention in polite company what she said.)

This woman is 35, by the way. With her own child.

I was kind of under the impression that malaria mainly exists in tropical areas. Where do you live (country) that you contracted it?

He had to take it so he could go to Africa.

Ah, I didn't know that meds for it could be taken pre-emptively. Never been out of the US so I'm kind of ignorant about diseases in other countries.

I only knew because I want to go out of the US so badly XD and he kept complaining he felt sick.

Yeah I saw that he said that he had been feeling sick because of the malaria meds he was on but I just assumed thar he'd already caught it and was being medicated because of it.

I thought it was kind of odd that the meds made him feel worse than having malaria but it all makes sense now.

Yeah, Malaria pills/innoculations can sometimes have unpleasant side-effects. Luckily, when I had some for a trip to Costa Rica, I just felt queasy for a day or so, but it can be pretty bad for some people.

In other news, I've decided that if I ever need a get-rich-quick scheme, I'm going to sell a line of red t-shirts with the phrase "I'm feeling wonderfully expendable" on it. They'll be an instant hit!

I WOULD BUY THAT!!

I might borrow that scheme.

For the small sizes you could just put "No Contract."

I love the font!

...That is an excellent t-shirt!!... ...

The daughter has two that make me laugh...

One is the obligatiory "Keep Calm and Fus-Ro-Dah" one...And her new one is "Keep Calm and Gangnam Style"... ...Makes I laugh... ...

I want both!!!!

Can't wait to get off work so I can relax and have some vodka.

Also, my job is boring and unfulfilling, which is why I'm here all the time while I'm at work.

You sound like me, lol

I'd use the phrase "birds of a feather" but I won't because I know you have a fear of the avian species.
