Not really here

I want to wear a sign around my neck at work. One side will say "I don't work Bakery." The other side will say "I don't work the floor." Maybe then people will stop asking me questions I can't answer when I busy doing other things. This will go along with the signs I want to post in front of the Deli, which include "We don't have the Sizzling Wok," "Please speak up, we have a lot of background noise," and "We cannot see where you are pointing."

The Yoplait add they've started playing at work states that "One in eight women will get breast cancer within their lifetime." Implying that it's possible to get breast cancer outside of one's lifetime? Like, say, when one is dead? Also, they really should pay more attention to their pronouns. That sentence has a singular subject ("one") with a non-ambiguous gender ("women"), so really, it shouldn't have "their."

"We don't have the Sizzling Wok" sounds kind of esoteric when you have no idea what that means.

Oh, btw, I think I left my cereal at your house. I should get it one day, and also dropp off your birthday present. :)

You did; you also left your Beryl Markham book. (Oh, and did you happen to borrow the 2nd Green Rider book? Mom's trying to remember if she actually bought it or not.)

Hm, I don't think so. I think the only books I took were the series that starts with "The Prince of Ill Luck."
