Multipost...

Today at work...

Client: Before we go to day program, is there time for me to have breakfast?

Me: Sure, we've got about half an hour...

(Client starts making himself a PB&J sandwich. Have I mentioned he's allergic to peanuts? Now, by aIlergic, I mean he'll go into anaphylactic shock. By anaphylactic shock, I mean his throat will seal up in a matter of seconds and he'll suffocate and die, since he doesn't have an epi-pen. I walk back into the kitchen just as he's about to bite in...)

Me: Umm... Client? Aren't you allergic to peanuts? That's what your Mom and your doctor told us, and that kind of allergy can kill you...

Client: (puts down sandwich) um... Idunno...

Me: Do you have PB&J often?

Client: Nope, never had it before.

Me: *yoink* Stick to the jelly, thanks.

Somehow I think "Death of client due to eeeebil sammich fixins" would look bad on my resume.

Thus endeth minipost number one.

Here beginneth minipost number two.

FOX News talking head: Ha haha! You crazy liberals! The US Armed Forces think they may have found a mobile bioweapons lab, so there!

Me, feeling rather cynical about the lack of bioweaponage found thus far: "By 'mobile bioweapons lab,' do they mean an empty tractor trailer?"

Daniel, my uber-conservative 16 year-old brother: "Well yeah, an empty tractor trailer with some old egg salad sandwiches in the back, y'know."

Dad: "Hey, those things can be lethal..."

Me: "Well yeah, but do you have any idea how hard it is to weaponize egg salad? the bread usually turns to mush before you can get it into the slingshot..."
