Stupid question
Can a vegan be pro-choice?
Stymied
I really can’t think of anything quite as frustrating as buying a new Leatherman. Here is the perfect, compact, cutting/slicing/sawing tool that you’ve been needing for so long. And they have packaged it inside a seemingly impermeable plastic container, heat sealed at the edges to resist any and all attempts to pull, tear, or yank. If only I had something around my cubicle that had a durable cutting edge…
Absence
I’ve rediscovered the power of absence. I now have a reasonable reputation for not being available (forgotten cell phone, on my motorcycle, etc.) and can now just leave after making a descision to make it stick. It’s a great way to make people think about what absurd thing they’re asking me to do.
