Welcome to my world, population: 100 squirrels and a nut. All opinions and advocacies are 100% my own. I’m not perfect, I’m not for everyone, and I’m still learning. If that doesn’t suit you, move along. 'Nuff said.

'Morning, Blue Crew. It's my work-Friday. We're supposed to be in costume today, but I'm wearing my regular work clothes, and if anyone asks what I'm dressed as, I'll tell them, "I'm a serial killer. They can look like anyone."
This is the best you get before coffee.

A very frustrating work day has come to a close. If I had tomorrow off I'd be indulging in adult beverages.

Worth sharing.

Public: We need sandwiches.

Republicans: We agree -- you need sandwiches.

Democrats: We agree -- you need sandwiches.

Republicans: We're voting Sunday at 5pm on a bill that gives us ham sandwiches and everyone else poop sandwiches.

Democrats: That's not going to help anyone.

Republicans: Democrats oppose sandwiches.

Media: BREAKING: DEMOCRATS VOTE AGAINST SANDWICH BILL

'Morning, Blue Crew. I find my tolerance for bullshit at a dangerous low this morning, so part of the routine is warming up my blocking finger for social media. It's the same finger that helps me drink my coffee, too.

Nothing like realizing you forgot to write reports that need to be turned in first thing in the morning...a half hour before you plan to go to bed.
