And that, my friends, is just another day at the office. 😉
[Postscript: Of course this isn’t how things are typically run around here, but today was just so damn odd that I had to share. I may put up an actual “typical day” post soon to prove to you naysayers out there that yes, I actually do earn my paycheck.
