Dammit

My lame-duck job offers very few perks these days. Let me see if I can count all of them. One, they still pay me. Two, free coffee. Three, heated garage. Four, I can play Guitar Hero during works hours because nobody cares.

Well, you can cross one thing off the list. Although we have more than a month left in this office, the powers that be called down and had our coffee maker and water cooler taken away today. No more liquids for this crew. I can only imagine how difficult it would have been for someone to flip that switch 30-some days from now.

Damn them. If it wasn't for my stuffy head and sore throat, I might be able to generate some more vicious bile over this move.

ELAINE (to passengers): "Please, ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Listen to me! We've been thrown off course just a tad."

PASSENGER: "What's that mean?"

ELAINE: "In space terms, about 70 million miles. The bumps you feel are car-sized asteroids smashing into the hull. Also we're heading right for the sun and can't seem to change course."

PASSENGER: "Are you telling us everything?"

ELAINE: "Not exactly. We're also out of coffee."
