for sale: alarm clock

If I went to bed at 2pm, and set my alarm for 10pm, why then did I not wake up until 11:55pm?

Needless to say, I was supposed to be at work at 12. I was 12 minutes late. I am still sneezing, I haven't had a shower, and I'm sleepy as hell. In honor of that, I give you:

Responses NOT to give callers who ask "How are you today?"

1. "Dazed and confused."
2. "Pretty good considering I forgot my underwear."
3. "Shitty, but improving."
4. air guitar opening notes of "Bad to the bone" "On the day I was born..."
5. "I was fine, but the guy next to me just farted."
6. "Oh my gosh. I didn't know there was going to be a test."
7. "Look, I have an alibi for last night."
8. "That is confidential material."
9. "Well, I'm wearing a little slinky negligee, and...wait, that wasn't the question, was it?"
10. "As long as they love each other, I see no reason why a frog and a pig shouldn't have a relationship."

Of all the questions...

Some of the questions I ask myself when making a decision:

-What is the honest thing to do in this situation?
-Have I given my word to do anything?
-What is the fair thing to do?
-Are any of my options kind or helpful to others?
-What is the right thing to do?

And if some one choice is fair, and helpful, and kind, and compassionate, and something I gave my word to do, and none of the other choices are, why in God's holy name should I be concerned about whether it is legal if it's the only right thing to do?

(It is, by the way, perfectly legal for my employer to ask me to work on my day off.)

I'll be posting the sweater stuff in sharing_needles right after this, but under this cut is a pic of the last month, and how much my hair's grown:
