Thank your lucky stars. Today you get to read:

Guest Diarist Amy Blair:

"Why I Get Out Of Bed And Go To Work Every Morning"

Conversation 1:

Me: This is just ridiculous. It's Friday afternoon. I really shouldn't be doing any work. And engaging anyone with email today is about as easy as eating a baby's teeth and taking their candy.

Roommate: Eating a baby's teeth. Vomit. You make me ill.

Me: Please. You totally eat baby's teeth.

Roommate: Crrrrrrrunchy!

Me: No, soft and tiny. Much like their skulls. Yum!

Roommate: Honestly, I prefer the soft spot to the teeth.


Conversation 2:

Me: F the whales, man.

Roommate: I mean really, what's wrong with those assholes? They're just so fat. And they're always beaching themselves. Jackasses.

Me: And they have BLOWHOLES.

Roommate: Oooo, I'm in the mood to spear me some whale!

Me: THAR SHE BLOWS!


Conversation #3:

Roommate: This is an actual sentence from a report I am editing for this place: "Mr. Takaku has extensive experience working with political leaders, as well as a fondness for Kansas."

Me: You got something to say about Kansas, bitch?

Roommate: I'll Kansas you!

Me: Clever comeback, dude.

Conversation #4:

Me: What's up, Mr. Takaku?

Roommate: Domo Arigato, Mr. Takaku.

Me: That's Mr. ROBOTO, to you, asshole.


Conversation #5:

Co-Worker: I neglected to identify the fax that I sent to Amy, so please let her know that when she receives the photo of a man in a field with a handgun, she is not being stalked.

Have a good weekend.
