Remember those grey robot arms (with orange pinchers) you could get at The Shack (not to be confused with The Shack)? I always wanted one of those.

I got my haircut. I hate getting my haircut, and I hate coming back to work, and people say, "hey, somebody got their hair cut!" What the fuck do you say to that?

Watching some super-vintage America's Funniest Home Videos. Does anyone else think Bob Saget is completely awesome? Full house (and AFV) don't do him justice.

My boss, when (and only when) he's pissed off, calls me "son". Isn't that gouge-his-eyes-out adorable?
